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.

#SMU #Mustangs(FBS) Evaluated by the #CollegeEdge

SMU had 18 starters back in '11. I had high hopes for the Mustangs. It was one of the teams I recommended my people take to win the CUSA. It was one of the teams I recommended my people take the over on in terms games won in '11. They disappointed me on both counts. The Mustangs played far below their potential last year.
This year they have only 11 starters back, including only 1 offensive-line starter in '11. They do have 2x, 1st CUSA RB Line back(1224 yards rushing last year), a nice linebacking corps, and one of my favorite coaches in college football, June Jones.
Last year, Jones made one of the most unusual decisions of the year when he benched a very effective returning starter at QB, Kyle Padron, after the very first game vs. Texas A&M. To this day, I don't understand why he benched an Honorable Mention QB who started every game in '10, and who had a 60% completion rate and a 31-14 interception/TD ratio. It was more baffling because of the respect I have for Jones in his development of QBs.
I mention all this because it will be interesting to see how successful Jones will be with SMU's most probable starting QB this year. His name is Garrett Gilbert. Sound familiar? He was the #2 rated High School QB in his HS class, and started two years, disappointingly, for the Texas Longhorns. One of the best story lines of the year could be the job Jones does with the, up-to-now, disappointing career of this highly recruited athlete.
Because I like Jones so much, I will follow closely how well the Mustangs do early against Baylor, and Texas A&M to see if Jones can get back some of the magic I believe he's capable of creating.
Question for my readers: Am I overrating June Jones' coaching ability? Are there inherent advantages to coaching in Hawaii, the program Jones successfully led prior to SMU? What do you think?
