Now let's just say you were to make the wager of $1, If you had an even money (i.e. 50:50) chance in each game, then the probability of winning six in a row would be 1 in 2 to the power of 6, or 1 in 64. If a bookie offers you less than this, you're a mug.
I once hit a free throw at the halftime of an ORU vs. Rice game to win two free footlong subs. My half-court shot for a $50 gift certificate to a restaurant long since forgotten rimmed out. Were these guys always the Golden Eagles? I was hoping for a more evangelical name. Actually, no. They used to be the Titans. They changed it sometime in the late 80's or early 90's. I really can't recall the reasoning behing it though. The best news about ORU making the tourney is that the University of Tulsa will now have a new coach to snag, a la Bill Self. Off-topic: Oral Roberts' son Richard is a prick. He used to come into the pizza joint where I worked in High School.
