Here we go again,,,Bama -5 is the biggest trap play this bowl season....

Maybe UT haven't face a top tier team this season but Mack Brown know how to get his squad ready for the BCS Bowls. The guy haven't lost a BCS game ever. Only matchup between Brown and Saban in 03 Cotton Bowl? Yup,,,,,,Mack 35, Saban 20.

i really hope this isnt your reasoning for placing a large wager on texas in this game..the cotton bowl 6 years ago? really??..texas isnt going to just be able to out-athlete bama like they have everyone else on their schedule.  bama is by far the biggest, strongest,  and fastest team texas has seen this year.  and im sorry, i dont mean to hurt your feelings, but when it comes to actually coaching, saban will do donuts around mack brown.  it pains me to say that because i hate alabama.

What the hell does that have to do with THIS year's NC matchup?

Honestly, are some of you basing your betting strategies on which which squad's player lost the heisman??? Seriously

I'm not necessarially making a gaurantee on who win win the NC Title, but to base this year's Title prediction on who won/lost the Heisman is a tad bit ridculous to me, imo.

...And, I could care less what "trend's" have dicated the title game in the past. Especially when it come's to past squad's Heisman winner's.

Conspiracy theories...conspiracy theories,,,,

Really????

Last I checked, Texas breed some of the best college players around the nation and the majority of them stay right here in Texas - UT, TCU, TT, etc....Bama along with other SEC teams have plenty of players from Texas who are playing lights out.

Prove to me in what area is Bama bigger, faster, smarter than UT players...all in those combination???? Do they bleed another color than RED too? Where does it say that Bama has dominated UT specifically in the past?

This is not SEC vs. Big 12.........this is Bama vs. UT on a neutral field in Pasadena where Mack is 1-0 in the NC and undefeated in BCS bowls.

Lets give Mack credit where credit is due, the guy knows how to win BCS bowls and he knows how to recruit the right players for his system.

This is the best pass/run QB offense and defense Bama will face this season..........lol........and of course none of you Bama backers want to hear that.

Keep listening to the trash you hear on the RADIO how badass SEC conference is......

We shall see.....

  UT ML

Gambling-Devil - the more you dig up infor. and the more you keep an open mind, you'll realize that Mack Brown gets it done and UT will win this game. Hands down he is the best coach in the Nation and the highest paying coach for good reason. The guy well get his team prepare for what's to come.

This is like the classic matchup of UT speed vs. Bama power.

  Bama will have no answer for Colt McCoy

im not taking anything away from mack brown.  he's good at what he does(recruiting, being a figure head, etc) when it comes to actual coaching, he doesnt hold a candle to saban.  nebraska's coaching staff made texas look silly 2 weeks ago.  no adjustments whatsoever....how many times did mccoy have to get sacked or throw the ball away before coach brown decided to change his protection schemes???

and yes, bama is bigger, stronger, and faster than anyone texas has played this year.  if you dont see that, then you havent watched them play this year. 

im not even saying your play on texas is the wrong one.  im just asking you to justify the play based on the two teams on the field THIS year.  your keep justifying your play what texas has done in past years.  if you wanna make your play on that, then fine.  i just think you should have more reasoning besides "texas is undefeated in BCS Bowls"  .....but based on "the past", saban is 1-0 in NC games as well. 

im not bashing your play man.  im just giving you some things to think about before you go large on texas.  you seem to be taking everything really personal which makes me believe this is simply a homer play on your part. 

Saban is a defensive specialist.  UT won't score too many points.

Bama 21-10

Do you have anything positive to add regarding Bama? Other than they are an SEC team, and they played a tough schedule this yr and they beat the Gators?????

Tell me something the entire sportsbetting world doesn't know already??????

Must be nice sitting pretty at -5 right and feeling over-confident right? I really hope you put a boat load on this game cause you know all of that money is going into UT backer's pockets. One word of advice for you, only bet what you can afford to lose cause it's going to hurt when your team choke.

Bama backers - I can only lead you to water but I can't make you drink it.

why dont you give us reason why texas is the play? other than the SEC is overrated and mack brown beat nick saban in a game 6 years ago? 

Read my thread,,,I gave you many reasons why UT is the play. What more do you want me to show you?

The secret to picking a winner in the NC game is to expect the unexpected. Can I make that sound any clearer? with all due respect to everyone here,,,,You probably have no clue to what I am talking about. Put your $$$ where you feel is comfortable for you because where you feel comfortable might not be the "right" place to put it on this game.

i dont think you have the ability to make anything clear.

Ive tried several times in your thread to bring up points that actually matter when capping this game and you've failed to respond with anything that is even halfway relevant or coherent.  ive told you twice that texas may even be the right side.  im not on either side yet. 

dont worry kid, ill leave ya alone and stay out of your thread from now on.  bol on your play
