The authors of our Routine Order are slacking. They finally sent out some facts with the RO for today, but no fail picture.

Re: USAFA Facts Of The Day
So, Spawn of Zonk, how about a small wager? Air Force is at home and heavily favored, but I will wager you an autographed copy of my book against $25 worth of Zoomie items, such as a coffee mug, beer glass or some cool Tee-shirt. Loser pays shipping.

We have a bet. But I feel like I'm not being fair, Air Force has this one in the bag...

Re: USAFA Facts Of The Day
OK, so if you think this bet is stacked too heavily in your favor, then if you win, you have to post a thorough book review after you finish reading my book. The book review must include any lessons you glean, insights into the characters, an analysis of the tragedies and, of course, your personal anecdotes about the book---or you can instead spot me 35 points!Spawn Of Zonk wrote:Ranger Garyedolan,garyedolan wrote:So, Spawn of Zonk, how about a small wager?

Re: USAFA Facts Of The Day
Ranger Garyedolan,
Although I'm sure spotting you 35 points would make little difference in the outcome of the bet, I'll still take the book review as part of the deal. If I'm going to win a free book, I might as well contribute my thoughts on it. On a side note, the USMA cadets attending the game showed up late last night and seem pretty pumped for the game. Tomorrow should be a good time!
