Picking my favorite part of that video is like a parent choosing his/her favorite son. (For my parents that choice was an easy one, and I still resent my brother for it.) But if you forced me to pick, I'd say, "They're the Big Blue!" is the best line in Coles' rant.
I just wish the Flyers had a similar moniker in the hopes that Charlie would drop it in his postgame presser tonight. "Dayton Flyers, number 38 in the country, I'm hearing ONE second round draft pick ... They're the small red! ... Huelsman became Huelsman ... And that's how we held them to 48 and won the game."
I've seen the Flyers at anywhere from 3.5 to 4.5 point favorite for tonight's contest. I've also seen the total ranging from 134.5 to 138. Conventional wisdom says this game goes way under. If you're in the mood to gamble, I'd recommend a parlay with the Miami money line and the under.
I like the under not because of stellar defense but rather poor outside shooting. Millett is tough enough for good shooters, let alone these Flyers. I'm sticking with what I said on the podcast: 57-51 RedHawks.
By the way, if you think the above paragraphs are just one long excuse to re-post the Charlie Coles video, you know me all too well.
