OT: latest TikTok (if you don’t care about TikTok, then don’t click)
This old dude is still trying to get better at it.

Might be time to hang it up buddy
December 21st, 2023 at 10:36 AM ^
Never, Randy. Never.
December 21st, 2023 at 11:01 AM ^
Hey, at least this old dude knows MgoBlog doesnt support TicToc URLs so he doesnt try and embed them.
December 21st, 2023 at 10:57 AM ^
I'm mowing the air Rand

If you care about TikTok, then don’t post on MGoblog

And why do we fall, Bruce? So we can learn to pick ourselves up.

I will wait 'till the likes of the inevitable JUB report on it, but this pretty much confirms Connor Stallions will be in the next Christopher Nolan film. I think.

When I took my now wife( girlfriend at the time ) to her first football game, Middle of the 3rd Qt Michigan was driving, she looked at me and said " can't they just turn around and score the other direction? ". At that moment i wasnt sure if it would work out.
Fast forward, We just schedule a get away for our 10 year wedding anniversary this up coming year ( she still doesn't understand the 1st thing about football ).
December 21st, 2023 at 11:19 AM ^
She doesn't need to understand football as long as she understands it's important to you.
December 21st, 2023 at 11:34 AM ^
And when to bring the sandwiches.
December 21st, 2023 at 3:40 PM ^
Damn, unexpected depth on MGoBlog today...
December 21st, 2023 at 11:32 AM ^
My wife is sports agnostic and I will take that over the poor bastard who's wife attends a football game and screams "Hit-em! Hit-em! Why dont they hit-em?!" all day!
Cameron Diaz in "Something About Mary" DOES NOT EXIST and if you find a woman that can hit a golf ball they still have no clue what the infield fly rule is.

My wife was lukewarm about UM football, until she, almost literally, fell in love with Denard and his smile. Since then she's all in - we've gotten season tickets and she yells louder than I do. I love you too, Denard!
December 21st, 2023 at 5:39 PM ^
Definitely a joke in here about a wife and "scoring in the other direction" but I'm not going to make it.
December 21st, 2023 at 8:10 PM ^
how about an " unexpected depth " joke?.
December 21st, 2023 at 10:50 AM ^
I choose not to watch!
December 21st, 2023 at 10:54 AM ^
I don’t think it’s gonna happen. Appreciate the effort, though!
December 21st, 2023 at 10:57 AM ^
I don't mind a good tiktok, but that was seriously low effort. And you failed to post the link properly. Do better.
December 21st, 2023 at 11:20 AM ^
You wouldn't believe how many tiks get toked on that website every second of every day. you'll get there some day maybe.
December 21st, 2023 at 11:20 AM ^
I'm so confused.
Michael Caine and Christian Bale, I recognize
But nothing happens. What's the joke?
(Obviously I've never seen the movie.)
Michigan fans won't bet on Michigan?
December 21st, 2023 at 11:27 AM ^
I've been trying to understand it but I can't. It's just a bad joke.
December 21st, 2023 at 11:41 AM ^
I guess it means Vegas is keeping Michigan fans on the sidelines because they wont move the line in our (betting) favor? That is my best guess.
December 21st, 2023 at 12:20 PM ^
It's way too subtle and also requires that you believe in a certain betting philosophy.
If tons of money is coming in on Bama, in theory, Vegas should move the line to reflect that. Usually Vegas wants the bets to be about even and just make money on the vig.
But in this case, they just keep taking money on Bama and not move the line, meaning Vegas will end up needing Michigan to cover or else they will take a bath because they will have to payout on all those Bama bets.
So Vegas is setting it up so that when Michigan covers, they will collect tons of money from all the sucker bets who thought they would be stealing money from Vegas because they think OF COURSE Bama will win outright. But see, Vegas is just setting them up because Vegas knows Michigan will win by at least 2.
So Michigan fans and Vegas are exchanging knowing nods while the rest of the dopes have no idea they're being taken for a fool.
December 21st, 2023 at 12:42 PM ^
Your assumption is almost 100% incorrect. Public betting only marginally if at all moves the lines. Early sharp money is what moves the lines. If Vegas just wanted even money on every bet you could just bet against the public on every bet and beat Vegas overtime. Vegas will take an occasional bath on public money if it means getting the lines right over time.
Vegas not only makes money on the vig but also but consistently cashes out betting against public money.

Maybe I said something wrong somewhere, but these two quotes of yours above echo the point I was making, so we must actually be saying the same thing.

Yep, gambling novices like OP just always getting this wrong. Just like how 70% of the money was on OSU for The Game and the line hardly changed from when it opened to kickoff at -3.5. Vegas made a killing because they took a stand on the game.
The difference with this game is the line has moved in Bama’s favor. It went from -2.5 down to -1 at some books before settling in around -1.5.
Once the line has moved in reaction to money coming in on a side, the % of money on one team vs. another isn’t really useful anymore. Because you don’t know what line they bet at. Yes, two thirds of the money might be on Bama but what’s more important is knowing how many of them took Bama +2.5 vs. Bama +1. It’s only useful a useful datapoint when say the majority of the money is on one side and the line is either unchanged or moves against the public (like 2021 UM-OSU and to a smaller extent 2023 UM-OSU).

Yes, that is just like I said, and also just like SD Wolverine said. We've all now said the same thing.
To your other point, that the line moved this time, that is true. But then it stopped moving. I was under the impression that money kept coming in on Bama even after the line moved, which is the only way to interpret the OP's TikTok, I think.

We're doing our ticky tocky.

Love these Heisman House commercials!
The mascot one with Charles Woodson and Eddie George is priceless 😀
December 21st, 2023 at 2:55 PM ^
They are typically good to great. My favorite is the Charles Woodson 2 hand touch followed closely by Barry Sanders Spikeball

Need Seth to make sure the point threshold to make a new post is always at least 1 point higher than whatever total this guy has.

So you're savy enough to use TikTok but you don't know how to use the link button which debuted somewhere around Microsoft Outlook 1997?
December 21st, 2023 at 1:30 PM ^
I ain't clicking and watching no random ticktock shite
December 21st, 2023 at 1:41 PM ^
I'm OK with TIkTok, but honestly I think it wasn't even Ke$ha's best song
December 21st, 2023 at 2:46 PM ^
I read all the comments and I still have no fucking idea what this thread is about.
GET OFF MY LAWN!
December 21st, 2023 at 3:04 PM ^
I'm fine with TikTok as a medium, but this particular TikTok (and by association this post) just sucks.
December 21st, 2023 at 4:50 PM ^
I like the idea of Michigan meme content tiktoks actually (like actually, like this is not sarcasm). The execution/idea on this one seems kinda half-baked though. Is that even a known meme format? It doesn't really.... do anything
December 21st, 2023 at 5:27 PM ^
Never stop doing you. Don’t give in to the haters.
December 21st, 2023 at 6:08 PM ^
Thanks for all the amazing, positive feedback everyone. Looking forward to blessing you with the next one. Go Blue!
December 21st, 2023 at 7:17 PM ^
I keep tapping the text in the post and nothing happens. For that I am thankful.
