About teams no one has ever heard of or teams no one cares about? It seems like each week there are about 10 threads for betting on games like IUPUI or Western International Columbian Cocaine University that no one has even heard of, let alone cares about, plastered on the front page.

I get that it takes a while to create the betting threads, but seriously. Iowan's United on Peeing Uraguandian style In cereal is not a school anyone cares about. If the front page is going to be bogged with betting threads, at least make them match ups that people might actually give a **** about.

It's true that the disappear quickly, but for those of us that don't have time to camp on here all the time, it is annoying to drop in looking to see what folks are talking about and see that half of the threads are gambling threads of total disinterest to ISU fans.

'camp out on here'? They disappear within a couple minutes.

This has been covered before, dont think its changing.

It's like soccer... but not really. It's addicting.

Back on topic. This is a site full of degenerate gamblers and your asking them to gamble less? Good luck with that.

I think we need MORE gambling threads, I want gambling threads about what the next gambling thread is going to be.

I think someone wasn't accepted at Western International Columbian Cocaine University and is now bitter.

Speaking of credits, since the Drake game doesn't look like a bad loss anymore, can we go ahead and declare that it's not a loss of credits, too?
I agree, in fact it was a blessing in disguise because it showed the team that they couldn't just show up and win. So that game was truley a win for Cyclonenation and we should all win credits :yes:
