Smoo -5 over North Texas ****
Both defensive units have whiplash after there 56-7 and 35-3 defeats from Texas and Texas Tech.Both offense's scored 3 and 7 pts..But think tomr that will change..
We mean green are very jealous of Smoo.They are the private school 30 miles down the road.Refused to play us for many years,bad mouthed us,kept us out of ConF USA,and many more..Denton crowd could be 35,000 biggest ever.
But all that animosity really means nothing on the field of play.
NT has no Qb.if you saw the Texas game you know what I'm talking about.Phillips is going to start.He had 22 total yds vs Texas.Wilson who came off the bench and scored vs UT looked better...but they cannot throw the ball.Quinn there top reciever had a few catches but his wrist cast was the biggest "claw" I've ever seen. They say he has a smaller one this week.Jamario Thomas is there only threat. two yrs ago led the nation in rushing..he had 34 yds vs UT.All you have to do to stop NT is put 8 guys up on the line and stop Jo-mo.Smoo will do that.Make Nt throw..and they can't.
Smoo's Qb Willis is not bad.Martin there RB is solid and had 177 yds vs Rice lyr.Lets forget last weeks T-Tech game.Smoo won there last 3 games lyr beating Rice,Houston away and UTEP 27-7,29-24 and 40-27.And lets not forget the only team to beat TCU last yr. Smoo also lost close games to Marshall and Baylor and beat UAB by 1.Smoo returns 8 starters on off. and I think they can score vs NT's defense.
NT's has no offense.in fact NT hasn't scored a 1st qrt pt since Nov of 2004..Thats 13 games.and they cannot play catchup because they run the ball.It's called dickeyball. Run,run..3rd and 7 and incomplete pass.. punt.Smoo's defense will shut down anemic NT off.Smoo should win this away game by 10-14 pts.It's only a 40 minut drive up I-35 to Denton.
Will come back tonite or tomr with Army-Kent...
Just got the surprise of my life.My daughter in Austin surprised my wife and I and just walked in the front door for the weekend.took a Jet Blue from austin to JFK..train to grand central..grand central to beacon..beacon to my house.Everyone was involved in this except my wife and I. Nice gift...

Kent +6 over Army ** small play
Army has to many qustion marks to make this a big play.Pevoto the qb looked terrible in his 1st start vs Ark St.Armys 2 Ol were declared ineligible just before game time so that did effect there running game that did nothing last week[ there back this week].Rb's are a big qusetion mark.McMahand is there srarter but again he's 5'8 and weighs nothing. QB problems also.Army's defense is solid but Ark St rushed for 220 yds vs them.
kent who is last in the MAC might be a little better this yr.Jarvis is a good as any back Ark st had coud have a big game today. he's 5'5 and no one can find him once he hits the line.Edleman is a mobile qb and army defenses could have trouble with him.
This is a must win game for Army.If they win 6 games they go to the Pointsetta Bowl.Losing to Ark st and kent would be like putting Scott 2's weed killer on the Pointsetta.
Think Army wins this but I think its a close game.Way to many question marks esp for Army.Small play for Kent..

I like
Iowa -19 over Cuse in the dome. **

Akron +9 over Nc St **
Ohio St +2.5 over Texas ***
UNLV +13. 5 over Iowa st **
Tulsa +4 over BYU **

Illinois +11 over Rutgers *
Over 50.5 ***
RU is loaded with Rice and co.But Illi can keep this close.Brazic is mobile Qb,Illi has some Rb's.RU's defense is still suspect.Like the over 50.5

Best bet ******
Smoo -4.5 over North Texas

I think I know what you mean -- that's where my fiancee lives. Those apartments near the high school?
