If you put a wad of money on that game, and they blew it, essentially they'd be blowing your wad.

I was going to, but man, that's a hard game to wrap my hands around. Both teams present stiff competition, which means it won't be settled until deep into the tail end of the game

I'll have to Tivo the WVU game tomorrow, going to a Nine Inch Nails concert.

Hopefully WVU stomps them, but I always get a little nervous after long layoffs and WVU won't have played for 18 days.

Geiger, do you bet NFL? I had a terrible day Sunday, and there's no way it could have been all my fault ;)

yes, i did...,and monday too....lost it all....except $1.00 :lol:

Bill Geiger

11-01-05, 07:40 PM

Nice play to start the game for Memphis! Their starting WR is starting at QB due to previous two QB's having broken legs.

Joe Molotov

11-01-05, 08:19 PM

Not that many people care I suspect, but the Oklahoma/Oklahoma State game is actually on November 26th, not this weekend as the chart indicates. Both teams are off this weekend, then OU plays Texas A&M next weekend and OSU plays Texas Tech.

Bill Geiger

11-01-05, 08:22 PM

Joe...you are so right. I just took this from wsex.com and this is what they had. :lol:

Bill Geiger

11-01-05, 09:35 PM

20-17 Memphis at the half.

Second half line was:

28 over/under
Even line for UAB & Memphis

Just to see if I would be right, I would have taken UAB even and the under.

Bill Geiger

11-01-05, 09:44 PM

24-20 UAB with about 9:00 minutes to go in the 3rd qtr

Bill Geiger

11-01-05, 10:58 PM

37-20 UAB.....would have won too!

Does UConn have some injuries? 15 points seems like a lot to me.

11-02-05, 05:16 PM

I just read - I believe it was from Whitlock bashing the Weis extension - that some draft experts actually rate Quinn higher than Leinart. Anyone else hear anything on this? If so, I'd love to read it.

Bill Geiger

11-02-05, 06:28 PM

Actually, Uconn is starting a freshman QB tonight. That is why the line is -15.5 .

My pick for tonight, take the 45 over! Last year the score was, I believe 31-17

das Monkey

11-02-05, 08:50 PM

Poor UConn. They've played with a lot of heart the last few years, but 35-3 with 10 minutes left in the 2nd quarter!

Bill Geiger

11-02-05, 08:55 PM

Looks like another winning pick for me! Maybe I should open up a sports betting "picks" site. :lol:

Bill Geiger

11-02-05, 08:59 PM

2-0 baby! Of course maybe it is because I DIDN'T bet. :)

Don't count your chicken wings just yet. A 35-3 blowout can easily end 38-3.

Second half line

W Virginia -6.5
Over/Under -/+21.0

Bill Geiger

11-02-05, 10:02 PM

38-6 with 2:40 left in the 3rd qtr

das Monkey

11-02-05, 10:04 PM

They won't break the over. We see this all the time. A few weeks back, I needed 4 points -- 4 POINTS!! -- in the second half to break the over and couldn't get it.

das

das Monkey

11-02-05, 10:15 PM

See? 4th and 20, in field goal range, down by 32, and they go for it. No more points will be scored tonight ... I guarantee it.

Would have been 3-0. :)

Josh H

They were starting their 3rd string quarterback due to injuries.

And 15 wasn't enough. ;)

Glad to see WVU kick ass after the long layoff. I was worried it would be a sloppy game with us being rusty and Uconn coming into the game with a pretty good defense.

das Monkey

11-03-05, 12:06 PM

They started off slowly and don't have the toughest of schedules, but now that they've found their rhythm, if Slaton is healthy, I wouldn't want to run into this WVU team. People bitch about the Big Least getting a BCS bid, and rightfully so, but I think they'll make for a good opponent this year.

A&M will not beat TT. If TT can shutout Baylor, while A&M has to sqeak by Baylor.....also, A&M was favored against Iowa St and got blown away! So, with that said, TT at home is an easy winner. If I were to bet, I would go with TT -12.5 . This is exactly what they were favored by last week against Baylor.

Josh H

11-03-05, 01:05 PM

if Slaton is healthy

It's just a minor hip pointer and he's expected to play next Wed. at Cincy. Probably would have came back last night if it wasn't a blow out.

People bitch about the Big Least getting a BCS bid, and rightfully so, but I think they'll make for a good opponent this year.

Hopefully WVU and Louisville can keep rising, and Pitt and Syracuse can get their acts together in the next couple of years and shut up some of these people. Even moreso if Rutgers can keep it up and UCONN gets built up.

Even this year with Syracuse being horrible and Pitt medicore at best the confernce still ranks 6th, so no of the other conferences like Mountain West, MAC, etc. have any leverage for arguing they should get the BCS bid.

I guess people can argue they should just turn it into an at large, but I think adding the 5th BCS bowl in the next year or two (whenever it's scheduled) will alleviate there concerns and stop most of the bitching about the Big East's automatic bid.

Josh H

11-03-05, 02:35 PM

Go Lousville! A pitt loss tonight all but wraps up the conference title and BCS bid for WVU.

After last years debacle of having 3 conference leaders at the end of the season, I wouldn't count on it.

wildcatlh

11-03-05, 05:59 PM

I'd like to say that almost a week later, I'm still laughing at the vols... and still wondering if any human being has owned another human being the way that Spurrier owns Fulmer.

There was a joke on FOX Sports Radio this morning that went something like "Spurrier is so far inside Fulmer's head he can read the Denny's menu"

Josh H

11-03-05, 06:02 PM

After last years debacle of having 3 conference leaders at the end of the season, I wouldn't count on it.

Yeah, but Pitt and BC were decent last year.

If Pitt loses, South Florida is the only real concern as that would leave everyone with 2 or more losses in conference play, except WVU with 0, and USF and Rutgers with 1.

WVU beat Rutgers, so they'd get the tie breaker there (Rutgers won't be ahead in the polls) if they lose a game. So it really just comes down to needing to beat USF in the last game. Even then I imagine WVU would have to lose to either Cincy or Pitt AND USF to drop far enough to not get the conference bid if they finished tied with USF.

In all honesty, I don't see us having any problems with Cincy or USF, but Pitt will be tough as it almost always is. So Pitt picking up a second conference loss would alleviate that concern as we shouldn't have to worry about finishing in a tie with them in that scenario (not going to lose to Cincy and USF).

But The pitt game is in Motown so unless we just fuck up, we should finish 10-1 and and not have to worry about it.

11-03-05, 08:03 PM

So.... what actually happened to earn all of the -eek- ?

Pitt muffed the opening kick off and Louisville recovered in the endzone for the TD.

Then Pitt ran the ensuing kickoff all the way back for a TD.

Craziest start to a game I've ever seen.

Ensuing kickoff, and the same guy that fumbled takes it back all the way for a td.
