Week 1 CFB odds

[byu71]

Oklahoma -21 is a steal. It's a virtual home field for the Sooners. More important, every time Oklahoma faces a high wire offensive act with soft defense we get a basketball score--a basketball score like Wyoming at North Carolina. I say Sooners by 40 minimum.

Let's have a friendly bet. If BYU doesn't lose Hall, Unga, Jacobsen or Pita before the game starts, I will take BYU and the 21 for $200. Are you on?

We can cut out the middle guy.

If SU doesn't take this bet, I will 71. I am not optimistic about this game. It still boggles my mind that almost every OU player that would have been picked high in the draft decided to stick around. Bradford, Gresham, Williams- these are all likely first round draft picks.

Then they have nine starters coming back on defense and BYU is breaking in 3-4 new o linemen.

First game of the season, everyone will be healthy for OU and they will have had weeks to prepare for this game. This does not look like it will be a close game.

I like the idea of hiring Crowton to draw up a gameplan for the first game of every season. He could beat Oklahoma with 9 months to prepare for it.

$200 is my limit of confidence I have in BYU keeping it at 21 or less. I probably should have asked for the 40 from SU he predicted.

Let's see how much of the $200 SU wants.

I will not put myself in the position of rooting against an MWC team playing Oklahoma.

I just got back from fishing the Bighorn. The other morning we were nymphying and the guide had us rigged up with two nymphs below a bit of split shot with an indicator just above the tippet. We were pretty successful (9 fish with the average being 17 inches) but never once was I able to hook two at once despite the two flies.

As an aside we threw hoppers in the afternoon and I boated another 9 or so and hooked at least that many more that I wasn't able to boat. It was a good day.

Thanks for the invite. Jerk.

I am jealous.

Nymphing is much more fun than pulling weeds.

Yes, yes it is.

It is not always about you, my friend.

Sure it is, if you're a self-centered emotional cripple like myself.

See that? Except for the games they lost, BYU is undefeated in September.
