If you're looking to lose weight, I recommend exercise and a healthy diet.
If you're looking to lose money; I recommend being a life long University of Memphis fan who bets money each and every time they play the University of Tennessee. I only gamble for certain college football games. UT, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, and a few others. Not for profit, not for the spread... just for the extra thrill of having a friend and/or coworker fork over that cold hard cash when the Tigers ROAR!!!!
With Ole Miss and MSU, chances are good that I'll lose money. But it's a mixed bag. Who know's? Maybe this is the year we have their number. It's happened on several occasions before. Why not now? Keep the dream alive, I say.
With the Vols, we are "victory challenged". Yet I still press on, because we do have that one time. Ask St. Manning about his worst regret in college sports. I believe you'll hear the word Memphis somewhere in that statement.
So it is with a heavy heart that I will shell out ten whole dollars tomorrow. LIFE IS NOT FAIR!
I will also check the blogs I read (lurk at) everyday and have to face the one I will dread the most, after this loss..... Six Meat Buffet.
Have your fun now Preston. We will be back.

UPDATE: Does anyone have an extra ten bucks? I've emptied my change jar and it turns out I'm a little short. The guys I bet with don't play around. So if you don't hear from me soon, hang in there, maybe I can liveblog from the Regional Medical Center.
