What will it take for a 7 point or less line vs a ranked opp

Postby Big12Mustang » Thu Aug 28, 2014 4:23 am

Seriously. Chad Morriss or someone else. I don't think June has had anything closer than that his whole career. He has only coached "have not" schools.

Boise vs Ole Miss is lookin like 17 in favor of Boise. Why not us? Why can't we be a freakin 10 or more pt favorite against legit teams?

The line is currently 10.5.

I work next to the Gawga Dome. Lots of Rebs walking around this morning, not so many Bronco fans.

Don't fear, the whole state of Alabama is coming (so is WV).

I'll be interested to see how many Boise fans are in Atlanta tonight. They usually travel very well. My father was at the Boise/VT game at FedEx Field a few years back and said he couldn't believe how many Boise fans made it to DC. Of course, they were a legitimate national title contender back then

They traveled well here a few years ago when they played UGA.

Just grabbed lunch in CNN Center (next to Dome). Large amounts of Ole Miss fans.

I saw 1 Boise fan - sleeveless Boise tank, Boise socks and a huge Boise tattoo on his calf. He wins.

Even though it's likely we end up in the same conference, I'm still pissed at Boise for bolting on the AAC. I can't root for them.

Because this is EA Sports NCAA Football where you can set the skill level on Rookie and run train with anyone and get 5* recruits without trying. Maybe that's why June thinks what he does works? To much XBOX?

Put down the bong and wake up you fool.

The critical postings by some on PFs prevented the program from reaching that potential.

Actually it was because the 30+ critical posters were in the meeting room when recruits walked by and they thought it was way toooooo small.

Sadly this.

Plus we've been rolled over in many many home openers so that doesn't help.
