Re: ESPN has Penn 54.5% to Win Saturday

No - more that I see Penn as like a "true" 1.5-pt favorite, but that the line might open as a pick for the reasons I mentioned. I think Penn -2.5 would be aggressive toward Penn.
** Insert comment about who knows who will play or be 100% so it's tough to set accurate lines and shouldn't that be outlawed ** - See, Stu, I mentioned it!

Some of us in '08 offered karbonos on bamos for Obama.
Score one for old school prayer.
But remember: The beis hamikdash is no longer kayam. Since the churban, we may no longer offer karbonos on bamos.

The new leader broke off and set up an alternate location for offerings in 87665 Mar-a-Lago.
Needless to say, God rejected this Northern Kingdom breakaway shul and its offerings. Its charitable organization was shut down early in its administration.

I hope it was paired with multiple nesachim - and not just poured over the mizbeach!
I suspect mine would have been quite different than yours - gratitude rather than thank goodness he's gone.

To be technical, it's Hebrew, but to answer your question - not one that includes Penn basketball. For historical perspective, in the Golden Age of Quaker hoops, the majority of Penn fans were Jewish and were also students. Now the majority of Penn fans are cranky old Jews. We save the Yiddish for cursing out the opposition and each other.

Thankfully I can still follow much of it without resorting to Google translate as a result of my NYC childhood.
Side note: my recently discovered minority Jewish DNA courtesy of ancestry.com reaffirms (and perhaps explains) my status as an old-school Penn hoops fan, even if it is on my father’s side.

I was pretty surprised to learn a couple years ago that you were, in fact, a goy. I guess that explains why you never really fly off the handle or go on tirades just to hear yourself talk.
So you spit in the cup and at least discovered a MOTI in the woodpile? I guess that's some consolation.

I'm a quarter jewish on my mother's side. I remember when grandma used to come and babysit us she would talk with her sisters in english with yiddish interspersed. For the curse words.
Not sure if I'm spelling it right but think it was coccy mun? which meant s*** on him/her or something like that? Wish i could remember some more.
Out of five boys my brother who went to Penn was the only one who looked jewish out of the bunch. Dark curly hair. Maybe he was profiled? 
So count me in as cranky old jew/gentile quaker fan.

If you get really bored one day, sit down and read the Book of Leviticus. Everything you ever wanted to know about sacrifices, and then some.

Wait. We are a favorite? And Harvard beat us twice during the season? Did something happen? It's not because of Towns, is it?

No, because he has not played this year, so had nothing to do with the 2 Harvard wins. I think Penn should have won both of those games-- a giveaway certain win in the first game and we outplayed them for much of the 2nd but simply could not hit the open 3. However, I doubt the linesmakers know that---but the seasonal stats have us looking slightly better.

I gathered that we gave them a good run for the money in both games, but I still don't understand why we would actually be favored. Hope the odds are right!

Remember-- the odds are a reflection on how the public will bet, not on what the actual outcome will be.

Opening odds are also based in part on data like KenPom. That has Penn up by .6 - round it up. For all means and purposes, this should be even.

Got it. I didn't realize that KenPom also favored us. It is true that the odds reflects betting, but these days there seems to be a fair amount of statistical betters that should close the gap in betting house odds vs. consensus probabilities of winning.
