texas st vs Zona St

going to the game tonight Its sold out and San Marcus will be rocking at home tonight Line has jumped all over I took Zona St +3 way back but on Saturday watched the Bobcats destroy a decent UTSA team in the battle.  of I-35 There were more people at Bobcat staduim for the away team UTSA from San Antonio. I took UTSA and lost but was so impressed with Tex St qb McCloud. He was the POY of the Sun conference last yr at JMU . Kinne the tex St coach game plans was on the money. UTSA defense couldn't stop the Bobcats offense.  Ths is Tex States biggest game of the year playing Zona St . Although zona St preseason has them at the bottom of the PAC 12 now Pac-2 they are 2-0 and already beat Miss St and Wyoming.  When Tx st plays the Baylors SMU's BC's etc they play close games. This is a tough tough game to handicapp . The line opened up at Zona a 3 pt underdog Now its Zona +1.5 . I am going to take the original +3 zona st but will not be surprized to see  Bobcats win this at home with one of the best qb's no one ever heard of  Can Tex D stop the Sun Devils rb Skattebo .. Will take the 3 pts and actually sit in the end zone because again its sold out. Think ASU is now +1.5  Tex St is a sleeper team and a good prop bet is for them to win the Sun Belt conf  But Zona is now 2-0 and beat Miss St and Wyoming . Kinne is an outstanding coach and just a few yrs ago he was the  head coach at Incarnate Word that came up to San Marcus with cameron Ward and company and blew out Tx St . At least Tex st realized he can coach  and is now their head coach . Small play on Zona St to cover the 3 pts. ** Going to enjoy a night game in San Marcus tonite  Later guys

 Why did the JMU QB choose Texas St over other major schools? 

crazy game but zona st won and covered . A lot of empty seats but it was sold out  Not sure why so many empty seats  Crowd was very loud for the Bobcats Not sure of the coaches play calling on both sides . But zona the underdog gets a cover and a win. Love McCloud the qb. He has a nice arm and has some running ability . Not sure why he transferred from JMU to Tex St. But he is very good and dangerous with his scrambling ability  

I was on the Over 60.5, felt like some of the play calls and officiating was making sure it went under!

after 48 points scored in the first half.

But you win some and you lose some more.  Good luck all

JM wanted to play in GJ Kinne's O I'm sure .....

Speaking of Kinne - I always think of his high school days and the craziness ..... know that story Box?

2005 or so he played for his dad at Canton as a freshman - Dad put him on varsity and made him the starter, which pissed locals off. They stayed pissed even tho GJ was pretty damn good and dad turned the team from a loser - to a winner.

One day a players dad wasn't happy with how his son was being treated - calmly walked into the coaches office - and SHOT GJ'S DAD IN THE CHEST.

Dad recovered, and later went to Baylor - but GJ got death threats - WHEN THE GUY THAT SHOT HIS DAD WAS CAUGHT AND PROSECUTED - a local and somehow a sympathetic figure ffs. GJ was blamed for being too good and 'causing' this guy to lose it ...........

SO - he said F this and went to play for Jeff Traylor (current UTSA HC) at Gilmer.

He initially signed with Baylor - to play for his dad - but switched to Texas later- so Baylor fans hate him too (sweet victory last year)

People ih Texas really do take their football seriously. Especially high school football. Everything is bigger in Texas for sure!

 my old man was a coach here .....fired a junior high coach once for screwing his students (seems fair ha) - his response? tried to kidnap my brother and I and poisoned our dogs and cats.

wow bookie never heard that story  All I remember a few yrs ago was Kinne's team playing Tx St and was 20 feet away  watching this big black kid warm up on the sidelines throwing darts to a wide receiver. A parent who had one kid enrolled at Tx St and the other one enrolled at Incarnate Word sitting next to me He told me that their qb from Incarnate Word was one of the best qb's in the country in D-2  or FBS. Cameron Ward.. And I told him I had Tx St -9 or -10  today. He said it was a bad play because Incarnate is going to win  I tried changing my bet but the phone wasn't reaching my on line gambling site  The fans behind me were making fun of Incarnate Word  The week before Tx St played Baylor and the fans were making fun of Incarnate Word / Some where making fun of Tex St non conference opponent. Then Incarnate got the ball and Cameron Ward made mincemeat of the Tex St secondary . What an arm and had mobility in the pocket. Not sure of the final score but Incarnate got 42 points and think Tex had 32 pts Incarnate had a 5'5 wr who tore up the tx secondary but I was so impressed with Cameron . Think he threw for a few touchdowns this week for now Miami and is in the Heisman race.  Game last night was great. Zona ST was lucky they won and the Crowd at Tex staduim was great. There are about 10,000 co-eds wearing black altar tops ,short shorts and cowboys boots . Think I missed a few plays watching these girls . But zona st   was the underdog and won outright so although it wasn't a huge play for me it was a win. Today am capping the UTSA-Texas game.. I love the UTSA coach but Tex St demolished and blew the Roadrunners away. Think Texas is the best team in the country and Ewers the best qb. I know I live in Austin and when you watch tv ,listen to the radio, read the newspapers and your next door neighbor is a former longhorn player  it a brain washing  and drinking  the kool aide  I am drinking it and falling for the Texas Longhorns   Not a good sign to gamble on but think they blow out UTSA on Saturday.  Good luck  Thanks for sharing that story " bookie"  . 

Was a fun game to watch, especially if you liked seeing a lot of points scored.
