What'll it be?
GatorTrey thought he’d get cute and call me out saying, “If you care to take a dare I’ll make a bet with you*,” in regards to our three-part TWTWCFB Bowl Previews series (see Part I, Part II, and Part III for our previews/justifications for our respective picks).

By my count, we differ on 11 out of the 34 bowl games. Since it’s an odd number, there will be a definite, outright winner and loser. The stakes are high:
Mizerle wins – Trey leads Rocky Top at next year’s Florida/Tennessee football game in Gainesville.
Trey wins – Miz wears jorts to the same game, shorty-short jorts. The shortness of the shorty-short jorts shall not be determined until the bowl season has completed per prior conversation.
There’s a lot of glory and shame riding on this college football bowl season(Trey Note: and it all rides on the back of Rice, Ball State, and Fresno State)…BRING IT ON!

This is the most important bet in the history of bets. gatortrey(Quote)
it’s going to be ugly if Trey wins this one…literally ugly. mizerle06(Quote)
do they make jorts that small? sparty(Quote)
trey, where’d you get your jeedos? mizerle06(Quote)
Sparty the thing with jorts is you can make them as small as you want.
Step 1: Take an old pair of blue jeans
Step 2: With sissors, cut to the length desired.
Step 3: Slip on and enjoy. gatortrey(Quote)

Should the length of Miz’s jorts be predetermined before a winner is declared? john(Quote)
absolutely not. mizerle06(Quote)
the more he loses by, the shorter the jorts, right? sae(Quote)
you guys must not have carefully read the rules and stakes up there. mizerle06(Quote)
My apologizes. I apparently didn’t read the
late changesfine print of the bet. john(Quote)I’m not sure, but with respect to length:
Jorts are longer than jeedos are longer than Daisy Dukes knightro(Quote)
fine print’s a bitch. mizerle06(Quote)
For reference knightro(Quote)
You want me to draw up a large contract?
I can fine print like a mofo. gatortrey(Quote)
Just for the comedic effect, i might be forced to root for Trey on this one. marcomarco(Quote)
Personally, I’m more excited for Ms. Miz’s reaction. gatortrey(Quote)
I think it comes down 8-3 in favor of miz. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
