2023 Mutual Fund

Here's how the Mutual Fund works: Invest 1 or 2 shares in the Fund at $50.00 per share( maximum of 2 shares per person). I'm able to invest up to 22 shares, but, my total shares contribution will be determined by how many people sign up. Yes, I will put my money where my mouth is! I do the handicapping work. I make the picks. I determine what units will be invested in each pick. Unit plays will fall into 4 possibilities: 1-unit; 1/2-unit; 1/4-unit and 1/5-unit. (A 1-unit play represents my strongest play). The most you can lose is the value of your share(s). Either 50.00 or 100.00. You cannot lose more. How much can you win? I make no guarantees, but, I'll work my ass off to have a successful year. If I'm blessed to have a good year, I will deduct 20% of each share's profits as payment for my work. My goal is to have picks announced prior to the start of games, but, that is not a guarantee. Sometimes I'm handicapping games right up until the start times. The picks will be given out within minutes of the game(s) starting, with the lines and units on each play. My goal is to start the Mutual Fund on September 28th, but, i reserve the option of starting it one week later. The Mutual Fund ends with the Army vs.Navy game, the unofficial end of the regular season. Payment shares will come soon after. Mutual Fund status will be updated every Tuesday of the regular season, once the fund officially starts. It should be a lot of fun and I tried to make the risk very small. If you sign up, I hope you enjoy it. Email me at sam@college-edge.com if you have any questions. You can make payment right here, at this site via PayPal or call 267-918-1064 if you'd like to arrange another mode of payment or, if you have any questions.

Illinois... I like Coach Zook, but...A fan's, handicapper's,(and gambler's) musings on college football( and other stuff).

I like Illinois' coach Ron Zook. I believe the reason he's such a good recruiter is he appears to be a genuine nice guy. I have wanted to see him succeed. The problem is I think he's a bad head coach. He did a mediocre job at Florida with outstanding talent, and the bottom line for me at Illinois was the progress QB Juice Williams made under Zook. Williams was the #11 rated QB out of high school. He had good years in his 3 years as a starter, then totally regressed as a senior. It may not be fair, but, I don't think that would have happened with a better coach leading the Illini. That team should not have been 3-9 last year. Period.
Now, this year, Zook has a fr. at QB, non-descript talent on the offense, and what I believe will be a mediocre defense. If Illinois loses badly to Missouri in the opener, the season could spiral out of control. Zook was a good special teams coach. After this season, I believe that's the role he will serve on another Div 1A team.
