JC is that sweat I see on your brow? Looks like the mases are giving a nod of approval to our no longer young 'stangs.

Should be 1.25 tomorrow. Better load up on deodorant. JC is in a flop sweat by now.

Way to believe betting lines are accurate predictors of the final score. They are designed to promote the most betting possible.

Well, we are talking two different things. The line itself is designed to promote the most betting possible. You are exactly right. However, barring a major injury, the line only moves to keep the betting relatively balanced on both sides. And that means one thing, the majority of the money is moving in the direction of the Mustangs.

So you admit that you wouldn't bet your life on this game. Come on BU fans. You can't be that sure. What do you have to show for such optimism??? A fluke against a rival???? We tied A&M in the early 90's when we were terrible. We beat arkansas in the late 90's. Your win against a&m may have boosted recruiting for one year, but who wants to play for the worst team in a good conference?? Not that many people. You will never be better than Tech, A&M, OSU, OU or Texas. That is a fact. They have created the system to make sure of that. You may one day get better than us because the system is screwing anyone not in a BCS Conference, but make no mistake that people that think Baylor will roll over SMU have a huuuuuuuuuuugggggggggggggeeeeeee surprise in store. We better have the medics out their to pick up BU heart attack victims. SMU fans will not be surprised either way. We've seen it all. Baylor is no doubt one of our best chances for a win this year. Don't be so sure of yourself.

If you think playing Baylor is one of your best chances for a win, I think you should have the same sentiment about half of your conference games as well. I think you understimate Baylor and overestimate the teams in your own conference.

Holy light sabre! How many "Star Wars" quotes can we get in one thread? :shock:
