I work with a USM grad, and he bet me $25 bucks that USM would cover 24 points. Think I'm safe?
He is giving you free moneyQuote:

I think you need to double your betQuote:

CD- I think you're good but it really depends on how Mullen handles personnel. Hard to see us giving up many points so the offense would have to be really slow and/or making big mistakes with turnovers, etc.
I think Mullen tends to not run up the score outside of bowl games. I think we still cover 24, but I don't like to bet on DNA do ring decently large lines.Quote:

I gave a USM fan that works for me 10 points back in the Spring. You should have seen his face when I told him the line was 28.5 when it finally came out.
well, it's $25 so you're safe no matter what. You'll have that covered before half, easy. I wish I could bet with some of your friends, ha.Quote:

Ha, yea I was being sarcastic about being "safe".Quote:

ETA: Haha, the board won't let you post "Mullen" with a "s" at the end....but isn't that the way the USM QB's name is spelled? M U L L E N S
I think you are fine. I'd say 49 or 56 to 7 but it really depends on how bad Mullen wants to stomp them.Quote:

That was a laughable read. I needed that to pick up a slow day!Quote:

Is the team we are putting on the field better than the team we fielded for the Rice game? I don't think we will be any worse. Is the USM team being fielded better than the team Rice Fielded? I think they will be way worse. I think you are in good shape.Quote:

There are still a lot of people in our own state that see us as we were several years ago and don't realize the amount of talent and depth we're building. That will change this year.
There's a small part of me who remembers the USM who beat State 6 years in a row in the late 1970's-early 1980's. If we were to play this game in the Croom era, we'd lose easily. The only thing that gives me comfort is that Dan Mullen does NOT lose to teams with less talent than he has.
I loved the post about being relieved by the 3rd Army.
I was at a birthday get-together this evening and was talking with another State fan. His wife, who was standing nearby, is a USM fan and asked me how I felt about the game. I told her I expected State to win. She said that State always used to say they would beat the hell out of USM, but then USM beat us. It took all I had not to burst out laughing. I leaned in next to the State fan I'd been chatting with and said:"They didn't used to be 1-23 either."
HAHAHA....Quote:
