    Not to sound rude, but do you even watch UT football? This statement is wrong in so many ways.

    Sure, VY doesn't have the best accuracy at QB, but there is no doubt that he is the biggest double threat in college football today. His accuracy is good enough, he has greatly improved his short range passing and he is more sharp with his passing than ever.

    Losing Benson is a big loss, but our running back situation is far from suspect. Selvin Young, Ramonce Taylor, Jamaal Charles, and Henry Melton give us more speed and versatility than we've had in a while.

    The same thing goes for losing D. Johnson, not sure what Wright has anything to do w/ guarding Ginn since he won't be at all. Chizik will have our defense on point and Aaron Harris is a beast at linebacker, I personally think he's got more explosion and strength than DJ.

    [Week 2] OSU vs UT

    I may get banned for this because there are lots of Orange Mods...

    But UT is the most overrated team in football history...

    OSU will beat them by 20

    How can you possibly make a statement that this Longhorns team is more overrated than any other team in the history of football? At least provide SOME reasoning for your statement.

    You guys are right....I do apologize for my ill rationalized arguments...


    Fact is....UT will not be able to come close to only losing by 20.....

    You stated that UT will not be able to come close to only losing by 20 and closer to 30.

    We'll bet signatures for a year.

    The bet will be if UT loses by less than 20, I win.

    And if UT loses by more than 20, you win.

    While I think it will be a blowout in OSU's favor.....I am not inclined to give free points....

    WSEX is giving Texas 1 point...I'll happily give you 3.5...on a signature bet///sound good

    Attend UT but dad was an OSU alum and grew up in that loving OSU football. I remember my first game at the Shoe...

    Anyway, should be a great game, no matter who wins. Games like this are hard to come by lately where colleges load up on cream puff non-conference games. Hopefully, it'll be a close, hard-fought game that gets decided on a FG or a TO in the waning seconds. Good luck to both teams.

    The problem is that he can't, so he might as well just right dumb stuff.

    What makes you think OHIO ST will even score 30? They wont even score 20 points.

    Free points? Im giving you free points. You thought UT would lose by way more than 20, and closer to 30. Based on your bold prediction, Im giving you the "free points".

    Wouldn't the "most overrated team in football history" lose by more than 3.5 points at Ohio State, where they haven't lost a night game in years?

    Bold prediction of 30 down to 3.5 points?

    People give spreads because they don't know the outcome. If you know for a fact UT would lose by more than 20 - giving up 15 or 20 points would be irrelevant.

    People are always so supremely confident until someone calls them on their bluff.

    I heard on the radio that OSU has never lost a night game at home, could be wrong though.

    I can't wait for this game! I think UT wins by a touchdown.

    You might be right.

    This game could go either way. Turnovers, our WR's and the kicking game will determine the outcome.
