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.

@EdgySam Summarizes #Missouri #Wildcats 2014 FBS Season

Missouri Handicapping Positives Prior to start of 2014 Season: Honestly, the only positive I noted prior to the start of the 2014 season was the coach. Gary Pinkel is one of the outstanding coaches in all of the FBS. Did I think that would be enough to make the Tigers successful in 2014? No.

Missouri Handicapping Negatives Prior to start of 2014 Season: Where do I start? The Tigers lost loads on both sides of the ball. On offense they lost a 1200-yard rusher and the top 3 receivers. They did have a returning starter back at the quarterback position, but Mauk threw for only a 51% completion rate.
On defense, they lost 22 sacks at the DE position, lost the #1 tackler at the LB corps, and lost both starting CBs, including a 2nd team AA!

EdgySam's 2014 Expectations for Missouri: I absolutely thought Missouri would suffer through a let-down year after their enormous 2013 successes. New and inexperienced at almost all the key positions on both offense and defense, I believed the Tigers were a team you had to look for spots to go against them.

EdgySam Summary of Missouri's 2014 Season: With the scarcity of returning starters back from '13, HC Pinkel once again proved why he is one of FBS' outstanding coaches. With a mediocre year from starting QB Matt Mauk, and inexperience almost everywhere else, Pinkel amazingly figured out a way to get his Tigers back to the SEC Championship game by going 7-1 in regular season, SEC play. I studied the stats and I still find it hard to believe he got it done. Missouri's rushing attack and pass defense were above average ( nothing spectacular ), but, his team's rushing defense was just okay, and his passing attack was below average. Coach of the Year contender status should have been given to Missou's Gary Pinkel.

EdgySam's Brief Outlook for Missouri's 2015 season: QB Mauk goes into his 3rd year as a starter; 3 starters back on the OL and experience at the RB position; only 6 starters back on defense, but, among them will be both returning CBs. Yo: coach Pinkel returned to the SEC Championship game with only 9.5 starters back in 2013. In 2015, Pinkel will have at least 12.5 starters back, including 3-yr. starter Mauk at QB. He'll probably do wonders with that nucleus of starters.
