This is a discussion about forum bets for the 2011 football season. As we have learned in the past, all bets are strictly enforced by the moderators because they have no life.

Topics I'd be willing to bet on:
Ohio State football season(National Champions of course, BCS bowl victory as another option)
Notre Dame being terrible(I won't make a season record bet because my high school team could go 12-0 with that schedule, but a bowl loss is always in the discussion)
Michigan against Ohio State(I doubt any Michigan fans will take this, but its always on the line)
Jim Tressel remaining the coach(best coach in the country, both on and off the field)

I will take proposals on any topic, although the 4 above take priority over everything. Feel free to post your proposed bets, as well as your topics and available assets.

(I realize it is early, but what the hell).

Here's an idea....don't make bets if you're going to piss and moan about the terms of the bet if you lose.

Betting on a bowl loss in May?

Yeah, that makes sense.

And basically whining in May about a bet lost last season.

My only regret is not being specific enough with regards to betting. I wasn't aware that people would try to morph something into what it was not, but this is the OC.

Curious that the only people to comment on this thread are glorified Domer fans. They know their team isn't winning anything relevant for the 20th year in a row.

Don't make bets if it bothers you too much to hold up your end of the bargain if you lose.

I would like to bet Ty Webb on OSU's record He thinks they go 7-5, I think they do no worse than 9-3. So 8-4 will be a push if they go 7-5 or worse Ty wins if 9-3 or better, I win. Would like to bet avatar and sig.

THE University of Cincinnati.

When I win you can change your avatar to Zach Collaros and your signature to a Derek Wolfe quote: "You should have seen the look on Tressel's face when he offered me and I told him I was going to Cincinnati. He looked at me like I was crazy, but they sold me on everything."

No problem,


When I win, you will change your picture to Brutus, and your signature will simply say....

"Being the little brother sucks"

Now duration is the only question.

I'd be willing to wager that Notre Dame finishes the 2011 season with more wins than Ohio State.

How about this bet, you find a quote of me saying that before right now, and I'll leave OC forever. Your generalizations make you look like a fool.

Exactly.

Until just now....I haven't seen any ND fans say that before on here or on JJ's.
