[TexasMan 10786]

 

 

I didn't know the BOMC worked its way into Vegas 

[jinx 2635]

Sweet, so sounds like the team with the ball last will win.   Like all of our other games.  

[FORTY NINE TO ZERO 2630]

Lololololololololol 

[TrashMaster G 17387]

Maybe WE'LL win by two touch..... Oh, wait.

[phdhorn 6224]

I don't know, how was our Sunday practice?

[Hank_Hill 18488]

Hermans back is against the wall and he does well with multiple weeks to coach (bowls) so I could see it...that said pound Baylor +14

Yea....right.....

[GringoSalado 1651]

2020 man

[Deej 76560]

Easy money. Baylor to cover.

[phdhorn 6224]

Baylor's defenders will run all over the field completely lost and we'll just run right into them.

[Newy25 7638]

Has Vegas even seen us play? 

[Sgt Hulk 13647]

If we win it’s by 5

[SDG 3319]

Not touching that until it closes to about 6.5 and even then this team may have quit on the year.   

[Tailgate 3018]

I’ll take SMU +2 please. Load the truck.

[Deej 76560]

Do we announce Urban Meyer as our next coach when mensa fucks this up?

They might be missing like half their team because Waco doesn't beleive in the covid.

[Newy25 7638]

Even when we win, we do not beat conference opponents by two TDs. I would bet on Baylor to cover that. 

[CurlyDumps 4439]

Outside of UTEP,  the fraud is going to go ofer ATS.

[perfectchaos007 6596]

It will be a 1 score game, just like all of our Big 12 games are

[Pato del Muerto 52342]

What’s the line on whether or not the game is played?

[USNALonghorn 5024]

Vegas expects Baylor to have a 100% mortality rate?

[Longboard Horn 40139]

We'll win unconvincingly on a last second field goal 

[BearSchlong 8077]

At least you have a kicker. Ours missed 3 FG at Morgantown and was benched.

[crimsonlonghorn 2306]

How did that TCU +12 opening line work out for us?

[Pam Cummings 9576]

Well at least if the fans aren't enjoying the football, Vegas is providing an opportunity to get rich. Hammer the ML!!

[Steel Shank 9414]

I see this going one of two ways.

[Steamboat1874 4032]

Overreact much?

 

We will crush Baylor.

I’m expecting a “We’re back” type speech after Baylor.

“Overreact?” 

When was the last time Texas “crushed” a Big 12 opponent?

[BabaYaga 15210]

Texas line @ -14?  Like the -18 against Tech and -11 against TCU.....lol.  At this point I'll probably be flipping back and forth between the game and something more interesting, like what new revolutionary new product that can make my life better.

2017 vs 0-8 Baylor 38-7 

2015 vs 0-9 Kansas 59-20

2011 vs 2-6 Kansas 43-0

2011 vs 5-4 Tech 52-20

 

 

If you want to stretch it Tech last year but that was 28-21 at halftime hardly crushing.

 

so 4 times in the past decade

Baylor is going to win outright.  Coach clock resets to midnight after the game.

[Wally Fairway 5521]

better odds - the game is never played, because of the Rona (I doubt that they truly isolated/quarantined the team) 

Quote

Athletic director Mack Rhoades on Oct. 12 told SicEm365 Radio that there were 28 active cases of COVID-19 among players and 14 among football staff members. Rhoades said he thought the outbreak was linked to someone who received a false negative test for the virus but then traveled with the team for an Oct. 3 game at West Virginia.

and Baylor's math sucks - 19 players +14 staff > 28 cases a week ago.
Playing this game seems like a good way to get the virus into the Horns locker room
 

[Js1 85104]

14 point favorite for what? Number of more penalties? 

[BrazilHorn 6576]

Unless CDC can rig up speakers and animatronics on the cardboard fan cutouts DKR is going to be a ghost town. The weather is way to nice and there is way to much to do to spend it watching a poorly coached, undisciplined shit show of a team play a game that will be over officiated as it seems like every Big12 referee is on steroids and wants to get as much "gun showing" time in as possible on national TV.

I think Baylor pushes Texas' shit in with at least two completely boneheaded plays on ST by Texas and the Texas OL continuing their quest to kill as many drives as possible with stupid penalties after big gains.

[dingleberryswitzer 2724]

^^ agrees, except for the ghost town thing.  There will be people there.  Shoot I'll watch.... Unless something better comes up.

 

Overall, I'm just not sure.  Herman will do all he can to keep the games close whether he has the lead or is behind.  I'll probably say TX by one after a failed Baylor 2 PT conversion in the final minute.  Of course this will be after taking a 14 point lead into the 4th.  But in all honesty I haven't watched a minute I Baylor. 

[927 E. 41st 1124]

I think we win, and IF we have a big lead Herman will keep his foot on the gas due to the heat on his seat. 

If we lose, it is my wish that we leave Herman somewhere in McLennan county and let him find his own way home!

[HeyMcFly 144]

lol we about to put their QB on the heisman map this week.

We almost covered but then we ended up losing.

CDC will promise him after a hard fought loss to take him to Pappadeaux.  Drive up to Waco, be like HA SUCKER! and drive off.  He has to walk home and there's no Pappadeaux.

Yep.  A more interesting line might be:

Will Baylor have +14 more cases than us?

Fuck Tom Herman. 

[Extra Anejo 99]

Baylor has looked bad this year but they haven’t fielded anywhere close to a full team of starters either. Probably Saturday they will have a full two deep. If I were to bet, I’d say Baylor covers but I never bet on UT because I drink too much.
