Liking UVA, SDSU, and USU though

the Ducks weren't ready to stop the physical nature of the Stanford offensive line and Gerhart, but Zona doesn't have a physical offense, I think Oregon can go toe to toe with them and beat them despite being on the road, the Pac-10 title is on the line and I have to go with the better team, Ducks for me

besides I need the Ducks to keep winning so I can get them matched up with Ohio State in the Rose Bowl, that would be the largest of money for this old washed up handicapper

I like your Ole Miss lean as well, but that team is killing me this year, I bet on them and they lose, I bet against them and they win

When I was out in Berkeley for the USC game, I was struck by how the Cal fans seemed almost as distressed with Stanfords's win that day (at home to UCLA) as they were with the Bears' dismal showing against the Men of Troy.  I think part of that was hatred of Stanford, and part was a creeping suspicion that they weren't the best college program in the Bay area any more.  As provintial as those people seem to be college-football wise, I think beating (and perhaps beating badly) the other side of the Big Game is more important than almost anything else.

Temple's in a crappy spot, but the number is about 3.5 light.

If you play Ole Miss, not only do you probably have the better team at home laying just a fg, but you're one good hit on Jefferson away from getting to play against Jarret Lee.  Sneed will throw two picks.  We'll see how critical they'll be.

To echo Maine's thoughts. Jarrett Lee played against LaTech and looked like 2008 version 7/22 104 yards and INT. The problem with Lee is he does not look off defenders. IHe stays with his 1st read. If he is looking to throw left he never looks right and vice versa.

I am hoping they score with a recruit that can play QB. Shepard has been dynamic but I think he is more effective as a RB or WR.

Good luck Wahoo

I liked this game when I saw the line last night; I LOVE it today; and your perspective just fits.........  Bumping it to a LARGE play as we speak

Wahoo, The OSU fans were pumped that they were going to the Rose Bowl for the first time in 13 seasons. Yes the season was shot when they lost to Purdue.

I used to live in Charlottesville for a few years, and I like UVA, if that team ever made it to say the Orange Bowl, which is bound to happen some day, the town would go nuts, right?

As for OSU not being able to compete w/ oregon, give me a break. (I don't think Oregon is going to win in Tuscon, so that would throw a  monkey wrench into things.) This kind of thinking is why gamblers typically lose, and maybe it is why you are having an average year. they get into these pre-conceived notions that this team is great, this team sucks, blah blah. the fact is that OSU didn't catch any breaks vs Florida and LSU, but they took the best shots that Texas and USC had and covered those games easily. AS for the Iowa scout team, WTF? This is still a pretty damn good team, and the backup QB will be a pretty good one, and he wasn't much of a drop off from Stanzi...

As for betting one's roll vs OSU, maybe some missed their chances on that vs Flor and LSU, but there are some pretty broke dicks that were saying the same thing when they played Texas, USC, and even Penn st recently...

BYU LOOKS GOOD!!
