To be honest, after we uninspiringly wrapped up our trip to the CCG on Friday, I was hoping for a WVa win simply because in a rematch of closely matched teams, the "avenger" of the earlier loss usually has the advantage. Not surprisingly, OU won. Well, we've beaten them already, know the formula, etc., but in my mind I conceded the fact that this was going to be a difficult game to win again and we should be happy with 9-3 and a spot in the CCG in year 2 of the Herman revival.
Then Lincoln & Kyler happened.
Sometime late Monday, Bob Stoops had to call his young padawan coach and say "Are you effin kidding me?? You sounded like Mack Brown before most of our games complaining about the Beaty issue. We always knew we were winning before the game because they (Texas) always sounded scared. Now you've just done the same."
Much has already been said about Kyler on this thread and before. However I'll add this. He ain't up for a fight so to speak. Kid was born on third base with respect to athletic ability, had an upbringing that allowed him to maximize that ability, went to a HS athletic program (Allen) for which the school side of things only exists to service the ambition of the athletic program, and was dropped into a talented roster and system this year to play college football before ducking out for millions to play baseball. Everything is always set up so nicely. Yet, when adversity hit and was effectively outdueled by Ehlinger the first time around, dude couldn't deal with it and one of 2 great memes that our football team has graced us with this year was born. And it seems he has had a problem beating the school he clowned during recruiting a few years back. Lost 5 of 8 in baseball over the last 2 years while not really contributing anything memorable in the games (and certainly not leading his team to a conference title or CWS appearance) and lost the Golden Hat already.
So despite the fact that all the experts are already debating whether OU or OSU is more worthy of the 4th spot, I see an OU team that sounds a lot like 2000-2004 Texas and a Texas team that sounds a lot like 2000-2004 OU. Tom Herman, Sam Ehlinger, Charles Omenihu, and the rest of the Longhorns sound confident. Lincoln & Kyler sound scared. That doesn't mean OU won't win. But I'd grab some of that sweet Texas +7.5 action because Texas is going to be girded up to bring the fight to OU in this game - just like they have in the last 2 with Tom Herman at the controls. The "avenger" should normally have the edge in a rematch like this, but I see Texas as the team playing with that edge in this game.
Take the loss pussy -----again!
Good post, and I very much agree with your points. I think not enough is being made of the "Ehlinger as a leader" vs "Murray as a mercenary" dynamic. We have a qb that is going to do everything physically in his power to win us the game. Kyler has demonstrated repeatedly this season that if it's his team or his body, he's going to choose his body every time. We definitely have an edge on that front.

Any thoughts on App State -17 vs ULaLa? App State has been very good all year, but they only beat ULaLa by 10 when they played earlier this season.

Every game w/ the exception of that Citadel exhibition.
I think Bama screwed up the 1H cover against Auburn too.

It was a great season regardless how Saturday goes. Obviously it'd be an amazing season if we win on Saturday. Worst case, we're looking at the Alamo bowl against probably the Utah/Washington loser. Best case, it's the Sugar bowl against Georgia and a Big 12 title.
Funny factoid: we could've lost to Tech or Kansas and we still would've appeared in the CCG due to conference tiebreaker rules.

I would love for all of the hindsight armchair coaches in here to tell Sam to his face that he isn't playing against Kansas in a must win game.
Give it a rest. No one was interested in Buechfuckup 2.0.
I'm not disagreeing with you. But Kansas actually turned out to not be a must win game. As it happened, even with a loss, we still would have appeared in the CCG.

Dumb question, but is the loyalty rank prioritized high to low, or low to high? In other words, is 1 the best or the worst?
I'm pretty sure 1 is the best.

Can someone explain to me the reasoning behind staying away from "stinky" spreads? Is the concern that Vegas knows something about the game that the public doesn't? What about the other angle--that Vegas is just undervaluing one team?

I got section 442. I think these are about the same seats I had for the 2009 game.

You can call the ticket office. My rank is in the 7000's and I'm in 444.
Just called them. I'm in 442.

I am section 445. Loyalty rank is 12k out of 38K. No Bueno. I asked when tickets will go out and all I got was "Maybe Wednesday, Maybe Thursday". terrific.
Where are you able to view your seat section? I'm on the Donornet thing but don't see tickets listed. My loyalty rank is 8k out of 38k. I guess I'm just waiting for an e-mail later this week eh?

Oh, up quite a bit but have no idea how a line is set. Seems logical.
You are full of shit and very trolly. We are done.
Bye whore! Go back to posting on dirtburglars.com

So now you believe yourself Sam Ehlinger and me to be an ousux QB?? Go back to the trailer that you came from or whatever place you migrated from you fucking toothless, zero facts knowing, fuck wit, Tshirt fan. You've no more attended the University of Texas or any Longhorn games than you have won jack shit betting.
Lot of a teeth for a pussy. I actually have two degrees from the University and am a regular on the betting board, where I have been posting plays all year and am up quite a bit overall. Keep taking the loss, pussy.

You stated, in the OP "Have the odds makers learned nothing".
This intuits that you know more about what the spread should be than the odds makers or that they set the line incorrectly.
To which I responded that you don't know shit about how they set lines.
I don't claim to have specific insight other than how Vegas sets lines.
You could have googled how and made a discovery. You know, learned from the stupid shit you said.
Instead you'd rather die on the hill that your post titled OU opens as 7.5 point favorite has nothing to do with betting. Rather because it wasn't placed in the betting sub is just a shit talking thread, when there are already 4 or 5 of those threads.
Now you are saying my insight is worthless and that knowledge on how Vegas sets lines is pedantic.
Go ahead, keep climbing that hill of regard and fighting to rally your stupidity to win something that isn't even up for grabs.
Take the loss, pussy.

Don't say stupid shit and I won't have to be a "pretentious asshole".
The thread title is OU opens as a favorite so it's pretty much implied that betting will be discussed herein.
So... I come back to don't say stupid shit won't be no shit.
I know this is probably really difficult to wrap your small one-track head around, but there is a reason I deliberately did not start this thread in the Gambling forum.
The purpose of this thread is to say “fuck ou,” and paraphrasing “maybe we’ll beat THEM by 7.5 points.” Your shitty pedantic “discussion” about why Vegas sets odds the way they do and actually insulting people over your Vegas “insight” is worthless. Maybe try adding value to your posts.

You clearly know nothing about how or why odds makers set up the lines where they do.
No reason to be a pretentious asshole in what is otherwise a “fuck ou” thread.

You’re in luck. As we are the 2 seed, we will be in white.

Yeah I thought the line would’ve been OU -2.5.

That’s the same line as our game against them in October. Have the oddsmakers learned nothing?
Fuck OU. Time to make the pussy take his second loss.

We’re going to fucking win. Our guys will be more fired up for this game than anything the shit eaters can muster. We already beat that ass once. We will beat that ass again and leave no doubt. Murray is a mercenary, not a leader. He’s also a gaping pussy. A gaping pussy who needs to take the loss.

OU fucking sucks.
Beat that ass once, beat it twice.
Win the conference.

Revenge factor doesn’t exist. We are the better team than these fucks, period. Our guys should be fucking pissed that we let them back in the game earlier this year after taking a 21 point lead in Q4. We won’t let off the gas this time. Fuck ou. Our guys are going to play their best game of the season on Saturday. We are going to be fucking ready.
Let OU know: we coming for that ass

Fixed. But yes, abusing their secondary is key to scoring on them--which is something that we must plan on doing every offensive possession. Abuse their secondary (which LJH and CJ can absolutely do, assuming Ehlinger can get them the ball), and the run game will open up for Ingram/Watson/Ehlinger. Then it's just pick your poison for OU for the rest of the game, with an occasional pass over the middle to Beck. We can fuck these gooners up.
