  1. I will take the under @8.5 That is as sure a winner as I will make this year.
  2. gmr548, Although I may differ with you on the outcome of specific games, we are in complete agreement on the overall record. 6-6 or 7-5 regular season is what it is going to be. 6-6 regular season probably gets Texas a B1G team they can beat in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl, thus 7-6. A regular season of 7-5 will get Texas an SEC team in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl which will probably beat Texas, thus 7-6. Either way I agree the 7.5 line for the over /under is probably correct. Basically I was saying the under @7.5 without including a bowl game outcome was a sure bet. The under @7.5 with a bowl game outcome is still a pretty fair bet. The over@7.5 with a bowl game outcome is no better than even money odds and thus not a very good bet at all.
  3. If Texas beats Baylor I think they will participate in the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in Memphis to play an "also ran" SEC team. If Texas loses to Baylor then its the Guaranteed Rate Bowl in Phoenix to play an "also ran" B1G team. Not including a bowl game outcome in your wager almost assuredly makes taking the under @7.5 a sure bet. Even if you include a bowl game outcome in the wager you are only getting even money odds for the over. Not a very good bet at all.
  4. You 7.5 number is interesting. @ULM, UTSA, Iowa St, TCU, and @Kansas are all most likely wins. 5-0 Alabama, Oklahoma (Dallas), @Oklahoma St are all probable losses. 5-3 West Virginia and @Texas Tech are toss-ups so 6-4. @Kansas St and Baylor are tougher toss-ups so probably 6-6 or may be 7-5. History says Texas will lose one and win one they should not. Either way Texas goes 7-5 or 6-6 in the regular season. So, my inquiry about including a bowl outcome is germane to the wager if Texas beats either Kansas St or Baylor. Of course, if Texas loses to both, then a bowl game would not affect the 7.5 line. Texas could get 8 wins if they beat either Kansas St or Baylor; and win a bowl game. Hence your 7.5 being an interesting line.
  5. closetohumping, Are you including the outcome of a bowl game in the 7.5 over/under?
  6. Could not agree with you more. "Time to embrace the horror." https://y.yarn.co/afafbd24-1729-4e6c-b1f8-262a25400183.mp4
  7. What did Jaylon Gulbeau do to get suspended from the team today?
  8. OK fine, Texas Tech is a win, then Iowa St is a loss. Still 6-5 going into the Baylor game. Sark will end up 7-6 after the bowl mark my words
  9. Alabama, Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Texas Tech, and Kansas St. are all losses in 2022 ULM, UTSA, West Virginia, Iowa St, TCU, and Kansas are wins 6-5 when Baylor comes to Austin the Saturday after Thanksgiving Beat Baylor and Sark goes to the AutoZone Liberty Bowl in Memphis to play an SEC "also-ran" like Ole Miss, Arkansas, Missouri, etc. Lose to Baylor and its the Guaranteed Rate Bowl in Phoenix to play a B1G "wanna-be" like Nebraska, Maryland, Northwestern, etc. either way Texas won't see eight wins in 2022
  10. Back in the late 70's, when Jimmy Carter was president, his brother Billy had a beer named after him that he was promoting. it was bad, really bad. I remember one summer the Piggly Wiggly on El Camino Real in Clear Lake had it on sale for ~$6.50 a case, plus tax.
  11. 2023 WR Deandre Moore Jr. decommitted from Oklahoma. https://www.espn.com/college-football/recruiting/story/_/id/33187340/deandre-moore-jr-top-wr-2023-class-decommits-oklahoma-football-program
  12. It won't collapse before they put an outhouse on top and set fire to it while they all circle around clasping arms swaying and singing "Go tell Aunt Nancy."
  13. Are members of the coaching and support staff State of Texas employees? If so, do they fall under the same HR guidelines (protection) that other state employees fall under? The reason I ask is that it's damn near impossible to terminate any State of Texas employee, even "for cause." Once you have passed the probationary period there is very little recourse for termination. A job with the State of Texas is almost like for life if you want it. I don't know, but this may contribute to the chronic bloat and rot inside Belmont.
  14. Maurice Chevalier singing "Thank Heaven for Little Girls," to Hermione Gingold from the 1958 musical Gigi! Directed by Vincente Minnelli (Judy Garland's husband and Liza Minnelli's father). Also starring Louis Jourdan and Leslie Caron. Gigi! won nine Oscars at the 1958 Academy Awards (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Writing, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Costumes, Best Film Editing, Best Song, & Best Musical Score). At the time, only Gone with the Wind (10 Oscars in 1939) had won more. Ben Hur (11 Oscars) would eclipse that in 1959, but Gigi! is still one of the best movies of all time. If you want to score major points with your "significant other," watch this movie on a date night. It is Rated G.
  15. Texas Tech Ags use M4 propane cannon to send Grackles to Kyle Field. https://www.lubbockonline.com/article/20140110/NEWS/301109781 Ever parked a car under shade trees at H-E-B, Lowes, Academy, etc., parking to escape the Texas sun? And then returned to find the vehicle covered with bird shit? The shit-fest most likely came from Grackles.

  18. When you put beans in chili, then it is really just spaghetti from Cincinnati.
  19. The 247 site has crashed. Is it a coincidence that it goes down right after the Finkley announcement?
