Week 1 Money

• Mack Brown has made it very clear that isn't playing games this season and he still is pissed about his team not getting a shot last season, for the first time ever he basically hammered the BCS on National TV

• Last thing to touch on his ATS record against these inferior teams during his tenure, it has been said that he likes to please all those wealthy TEXAS ALUMS, nothing better than covering spreads for them, right?

IN SHORT

Mack is pissed, Texas is loaded, Mack wants style points this year, Mack blows out bad teams at home, ULM is just plain horrid= bad deal for ULM in my opinion

so you currently attend texas and that qualifies you to say that texas will definitely "not" score more than 60.  what do you base your assessment on.  is it because texas does not have a heisman tropy qb candidate, or that we have one of the best offensive lines in the country or we had the opp to play florida for the national championship last year, or we are not deep atwide receivers, or over the last 10 years we have never scored 60 points against a 1st game home patsie (with sarcasm)?   How do you estimate that ULM with their issues at QB is going to score 10 points against our defense.

you may be expressing your opinion, and i respect that, but you come across as very green and uninformed.   do some more research on this texas team's capabilities, and look at the last 10 years for some perspective. 

hook em'

Bet every team with a city or town in its name, but leave out Bowling Green.  Thank me later.

Give in DBL! As always, you have GREAT insight to these types of games, but how can you not see this as a top play for week 1? Minny might make some noise in the BigTen, maybe even a bowl game....but they're nothing special. This is a great spot for them with a healthy squad and especially a healthy Decker. You'll come over to the light soon enough.

I read some threads when I get the energy and I have read alot of people talking about the lack of defense for Oklahoma St, but what they are failing to realize is that UGA's offense might make Okie State defense look like USC and that UGA's offense will not be good enough this season to keep up with Okie State's offense, especially on the road in their first game in a very hostile environment without Stafford or Moreno, Georgia may improve as the season goes on, but they get thumped in Week 1, this will not be a great football game in my humble opinion, I really think the Pokes walk all over them, it is gambling though
