And the Heisman Trophy 2004 Winner is???

So here is the next bet. I know you said you wanted to wait a while so I am putting this one up here early so you can think long and hard about it.

Here is the bet. We each chose one player who we think will win the Heisman Trophy. You get first choice since I won the last bet. That isn't a rule but I think it makes sense.

The winner gets a hot dog and a soda from Costco.

Go here to check out the race and to see who everyone thinks is in the "race".

Game On!!!

The first Weather Bet!

Here comes one for you....

I bet you a smoothie from Emerald Smoothie that it will rain in the Seattle/Everett vicinity on Thanksgiving Day!

The way that we determine if there was rain is by watching the weather on King 5 News and if they say there was any rainfall during the day then I win.

Do you accept?

Game ON!!!!


First Payoff Results

College football rivalry weekend. It was the 97th Annual Apple Cup and the UM/MSU game. Luckily and I mean luckily the Cougars were able to pull off a victory and get the Husky Demons off of their back; and unfortunately the Griz were able to pull off a victory. It had been 6 straight years of the Huskies defeating the Cougars.

So with the payoff we had two beers. The BiFrost Winter Ale, brewed by Elysian Brewing Company, Seattle, WA; and the other beer was the Winter Solstice Seasonal Ale, brewed by Anderson Valley Brewing Company, Mendocino County, CA.

The Winter Solstice was by far the hands down winner. Smooth thicker beer with a hint of vanilla and a great finish.

This will be one to remember.

WSU vs MSU Season Basketball Opener

I just can't let this go by without a bet... MSU is coming to WSU to start the basketball season.

So here we are with two teams that probably aren't expected to do much this season. I know that WSU is not expected to do well and they are already missing their starting point guard until January. And while MSU could have a great team, I have no clue and really don't care ;-)

So here is the bet...

Loser has to wash the car of the winner.... I figure that we have enough alcohol already on the line so we better tone it down a little bit... nah. That is a terrible idea...

Lets do this instead... Loser has to wash the car of the winner, by hand, and the winner gets to drink a beer of his choice while watching the other wash their car.

Game On???

Football Rivarly Weekend...

So with this upcoming weekend being the "Apple Cup" and the "whatever you call your rivarly game" I propose the following bet...

Cougs Victory over UW will be greater than the MSU victory over U of M. If both of our teams loose then we'll go to whichever team lost be the least amount of points....

What do you think?

If you accept... I pledge a beer of your choice from Central Market.

GAME ON!!!
