Our Bowl Picks Continue Over at The Bucky Channel

Christmas time is here, and it comes with the greatest gift of all... the continuation of our bowl picks over at The Bucky Channel.

If you've been following, which we are sure you have been, you were able to hit on our Bucky Channel exclusive Free NCAA Football Pick, when Boise State improved our Free NCAA Football bowl picks to 2-0.

Our picks straight up haven't had as much success... which is why we pick spreads. Again, as a reminder, our straight up picks over at The Bucky Channel are purely for fun and not system plays. And we promise not to have anymore exclusive Free NCAA Football Picks over there. From now on, any and all picks, as they always have been, will be posted right here at Stock Lemon.

But still, check out The Bucky Channel.

Stock Lemon and The Bucky Channel Go Bowling!

We are going to continue with this bowling pun so long as we continue to find pictures of hot girls bowling. But to be clear, it is bowl season in college football and we like this time of year about as much as we like girls bowling in bikinis.

While our Free NCAA Football Pick system should have quite a bit of plays during the bowl slate (like tonight's New Orleans Bowl), we won't have a play on every game. To fill the void, we will be picking every game straight up over at The Bucky Channel.

Check out our first installment of the collaborative effort between our brothers from different mothers over at The Bucky Channel.

You'll notice that, when we turned our picks in a few days ago, we thought BYU might be a Free NCAA Football Pick. Well, now you know why. It turns out it didn't fully meet our criteria, but definitely was a strong lean.

Hey Look! An Episode of The Lemmy Channel!

It's been a while, but we finally rolled out another edition of The Lemmy Channel over at the host site of our northern friends, The Bucky Channel. Check it out to read our thoughts on the red hot Wisconsin Badgers and Green Bay Packers up in Wisconsin.

For those of you who don't care about our arrangement with a site in Wisconsin that requires us to write about the state, we'll have the other 49 covered for you here at Stock Lemon.

We'll also have a recap of our weekend coming soon, which was just above average but can be considered a huge success after last weekend.

Stay tuned... unless you're using the clicker to switch over to The Bucky Channel.

On This Edition of The Lemmy Channel...

As we mentioned earlier this week, The Lemmy Channel is back, but with a few changes. First off, for those of you that couldn't care less about the Wisconsin sports teams that we talk about to appeal to The Bucky Channel's audience, we won't be providing much more than a link to our analysis. Secondly, rather than sending the "episodes" to The Bucky Channel via e-mail, we are posting them to their site ourselves as a part of their expanded 2.0 staff.

So, if you want to find out what a naked picture of Don Draper's new fiance has to do with this week's Lemmy Channel (not much), or you want to read a little analysis on the Mad Men in the Packers/Vikings game on Sunday night, check out The Lemmy Channel over at The Bucky Channel.

Stock Lemon's Role in The Bucky Channel Relaunch

For those familiar with this site, you know that we frequently link to and are frequently linked by the fine folks at The Bucky Channel.

It's a curious relationship between our sites as we are both simply trying to provide our readers with more content that we feel they would be interested in reading. The reason we have this kind of relationship with them is because, honestly, they were some of the first people to help us out when we were new to the blogging game, and we did the same for them. And neither of us has forgotten it.

So, as you wipe those sentimental tears away, we're proud to say that we have played a small part in what is becoming The Bucky Channel 2.0. Regular Bucky Channel readers will notice a change in layout, and that change will come with a whole new staff of writers joining the team.

And we are one of them... kind of.

As we have done in the past, we'll be providing content through a semi-regular, semi-forgotten about feature called The Lemmy Channel, in which we look into interesting tidbits relating to their home town teams up in Wisconsin. We'll look at different betting trends as they pertain to the Green Bay Packers, Wisconsin Badgers, Milwaukee Bucks and Milwaukee Brewers (and maybe even the Milwaukee Iron of the Arena Football League) to cater to their readership.

We'll post tidbits about our analysis here, with the main content gracing the pages of The Bucky Channel 2.0.

So welcome, Wisconsinites, for those of you who didn't make it over for the first few installments of The Lemmy Channel. Please bring your finest beers and cheeses to Stock Lemon (or donate some cash to us using the Paypal icon on the left, so that we can purchase our own!).

It's Twitter Official: LeBron James is Going to New York

The NBA's most coveted Free Agent is going to be a New York Knickerbocker... according to Jared Dudley, who came up with the greatest way to get twitter followers since @thebuckychannel decided to join the fad.

So there you have it, LeBron James to the New York Knicks. You heard it here second.

This Legoland is Your Land...

We'd be remiss if we didn't throw this up. A great find by the folks over at The Bucky Channel, whose World Cup coverage has been second to one (our own), this Lego video reenacts the goals scored in Saturday's England vs. United States showdown--which we correctly predicted to end in a tie.

The highlights of the video are that 1. it includes the audio feed from the game, which is brilliantly called by the announcers and 2. there are no visible Lego vuvuzelas in the very calm stands.

Enjoy the video, and enjoy our continuing coverage of the 2010 World Cup.

The Bucky Channel Joins Twitter!

It took over a year after our gentle call-to-arms, but we'll take credit for it anyway. That's right, our friends over at The Bucky Channel have finally joined twitter! Here's what we said on April 18, 2009:

Be sure to leave a comment urging The Bucky Channel to join twitter. Here's what they said last month about the social networking craze:

Twitter sucks so much, it's a stupid trend that is pointless and stupid and doesn't contribute anything beneficial to society and is a waste of time and will fade out within six months and is not worth the trouble to either update or check out people's Twitters. How people are making money off of something so stupid blows my brains and now I must move on before I quit doing The Bucky Channel right this very moment, that is how much I hate Twitter.

Yes, they have finally caved. And yes, we just quoted a quote. You can follow them @thebuckychannel. And of course, you can follow Stock Lemon @stocklemon.

Be sure to follow both sites for more analysis of the 2010 World Cup.

Special Edition of The Lemmy Channel

Everybody's favorite program is back for a special edition. This week on The Lemmy Channel, our friends at The Bucky Channel linked to our 2009 NFL Mock Draft to see what we had to say on their hometown Packers pick. 

Rather than use this space to re-hash what we said in this post, we thought we'd alert you to a cool little game they're playing over at The Bucky Channel called Bucks Survivor. 

It's an obvious take on the hit show, Survivor, but in TBC's version they allow their readers to vote off members of the Milwaukee Bucks. The team is split into two "tribes," with immunity granted to one player on that week's losing tribe. You don't have to be a Bucks fan to vote off your least favorite players of the team, so go ahead and check them out and follow the hit game that is sweeping the nation. 

While you're over there, be sure to leave a comment urging The Bucky Channel to join twitter. Here's what they said last month about the social networking craze:

Twitter sucks so much, it's a stupid trend that is pointless and stupid and doesn't contribute anything beneficial to society and is a waste of time and will fade out within six months and is not worth the trouble to either update or check out people's Twitters. How people are making money off of something so stupid blows my brains and now I must move on before I quit doing The Bucky Channel right this very moment, that is how much I hate Twitter.

And, of course, be sure to follow Lemmy's twitter account if you aren't already.

The Lemmy Channel Moves Into Prime Time

Nevermind the ratings success of the Super Bowl, we've got our own Smash hit right here. Judging by the fantastic comments by yoga and meditation and aftershave balm on our last Lemmy Channel post, we can tell that the readers are just loving The Lemmy Channel, which is why we have moved it into prime time!

This week on The Lemmy Channel, we tell you why you should fade the Milwaukee Bucks, the hometown team up in Wisconsin. 

We also advise The Bucky Channel's readers to stop by and check out our Pro Bowl pick before participating in TBC's 2nd annual Pro Bowl Live Blog on February 8 at 3:30 central time. 

We'll do the opposite here and advise you to participate in TBC's 2nd annual Pro Bowl Live Blog on February 8 at 3:30 central time after checking out our pick here at Stock Lemon. 

Stop on by The Bucky Channel for more on Wisconsin sports as well as, before we forget to mention it, their 2nd annual Pro Bowl Live Blog on February 8 at 3:30 central time. 

A Super Episode of The Lemmy Channel

As we continue to cover all things Super Bowl prop betting, we realized something. 

We wouldn't be your main squeeze on 2009 Super Bowl 43 Prop Bets if we didn't produce an episode of The Lemmy Channel on the topic. 

And so, you can check out the Super edition of everybody's favorite hit series, The Lemmy Channel, right here, hosted by the equally Super folks over at The Bucky Channel. 

Special MLK Edition of The Lemmy Channel

In honor of Martin Luther King Jr., who once said, "I have a dream, that the Lemmy Channel will air a special Monday edition in honor of me," we have done just that.

This week, Lemmy is airing a day early at The Bucky Channel, in order to give some advice on tonight's game between the Milwaukee Bucks and Portland Trail Blazers.

As always, you'll have to go over to The Bucky Channel to see what advice Lemmy has for the folks up in Wisconsin. Or, over in Wisconsin.

Over and out.

The Lemmy Channel Is Back For Season Two!

It's official: The Lemmy Channel has been renewed for another season after copying The Office by airing just a few episodes in its first run.

If you're unfamiliar with The Lemmy Channel, it's a weekly posting by Lemmy and the rest of us at Stock Lemon invading The Bucky Channel's turf.

Since we focus on sports wagering and The Bucky Channel focuses on Wisconsin sports, The Lemmy Channel is about The World of Sports Wagering from Wisconsin's perspective.

As we did back in April with the Milwaukee Brewers, we'll take a look at some of the betting trends surrounding the Milwaukee Bucks.

Tune in to the rest of the Season Two Premiere right here on The Bucky Channel.

The Champs Sports Bowl Pick is in!

We're an incredible 1-0 so far in the college bowl season, hitting 100% of our picks! Next up: The Champs Sports Bowl. Although this bowl game is still three days away, we had to take a break from the Christmas Eve festivities to post this before the line jumped on us.

Florida State -6 over Wisconsin

With apologies to our friends over at The Bucky Channel, this isn't a good year for the Badgers to be facing the Seminoles for the first time in their history. Our Free NCAA Football Picks system sees real value in the Seminoles.

It's rare that we post a play so far in advance, so that should tell you how much we like Florida State to take care of business. Or it should tell you that we have a busy couple of days ahead and weren't sure when else to post this. Either way.

Good luck!

Brewers Win!

The Brewers hammered the Blue Jays 7-0 yesterday, relying on homers from just about everybody to get the job done. As we said over at The Bucky Channel yesterday, we had faith in Manny Parra, and while the Brewers offense got the job done, you can never argue with a pitcher giving up no runs through seven innings.

The Brewers win gives our new Free MLB Pick system a 10-6 record.

Special Tuesday Lemmy Channel Episode

To go along with some of the interests of The Bucky Channel's readers, The Lemmy Channel was moved to today rather than its regular prime time slot on Monday.

More specifically, this week's edition highlights the Free MLB Pick of the Milwaukee Brewers over the Toronto Blue Jays, which starts momentarily.

With that, we end our five episode premiere of The Lemmy Channel. Fear not, though, as The Lemmy Channel will resume on The Bucky Channel at a later date.

This Week On The Lemmy Channel...

With no NBA Finals action and a small slate of MLB today, this Monday is the perfect time to tune into The Bucky Channel for the latest episode of The Lemmy Channel!

This week, Lemmy reiterates his position on the unders in Milwaukee Brewer games, which are hitting over 61% on the year, including 10-3 since Lemmy advised The Bucky Channel's readers to go under on their local team.

Brewers Make New System a Success!

Our first play with the new system is a success!

The Milwaukee Brewers took care of the Arizona Diamondbacks at home tonight, 4-3, to give us a much needed Free MLB Pick win. The Brewers fought back from a 3-1 defecit, and a solo shot by Prince Fielder eventually gave them--and more importantly, us--the victory.

As we mentioned in the previous post, as well as over at The Bucky Channel, the Brewers are now 7-1 in their last eight games and the unders in Brewer games are also 7-1 in their last eight. We probably wouldn't be paying so much attention to these trends if not for our new partnership with those Wisconsinites, and since they're making us money, we ought to thank them for teaming up with us. (Sorry, was that too cheesey?)

We will be using this system for the time being while we tweak our old one, and if it continues to produce winners, we could eventually use both systems. Which means, of course, more picks!

Don't Change That Channel!

By now, we're sure you're familiar with our newfound relationship with the fine folks over at The Bucky Channel. We've teamed up with them to create a weekly feature on their site, aptly titled The Lemmy Channel, in which we offer their readers betting insight on the world of sports (particularly from Wisconsin's perspective).

Last week, we stated that both their beloved Milwaukee Brewers and the under in Brewer games were good bets for the week, and since then both have gone 6-1 with tonight's game pending. Tonight's Brewer game against the Arizona Diamondbacks also happens to be our first Free MLB Pick with the new system.

Check out this week's episode here, and be sure to check back every Monday as we try to help the people of The Dairy Land make some extra cheese. And money.

New June MLB System

Our Free MLB Picks have been slumping, and we think it's time to unveil our new system for the month of June.

This system has been hitting over 70% this year but we haven't played it because it is the first year and is still relatively unproven. It tends to favor home teams and relies heavily and pitching match-ups and trends in teams last five to ten games. That said, here's the first play!

Milwaukee Brewers -131 over the Arizona Diamondbacks

The Brewers have been hot, and our friends over at The Bucky Channel will appreciate this play.

Good luck!
