Gotta admit Vegas is pretty sharp when it comes to betting lines

[BurninDownTheCouch]

Basketball lines are almost always uncanny accurate.

Let's look at what they think will be WVU's win/loss totals. Vegas has the over/under win total for WVU at 8. Now, I am a little more confident than that, but understand where they're coming from when 2 of the top 4 teams in the country are on our schedule and we play them on the road. So, I'll give them the TCU and Baylor on the road losses as reasonable Vegas assumptions(probably underdogs in those match-ups on the road anyway). That leaves 2 more losses in their minds. Oklahoma in Norman is always a challenge. Wow.. our odd year schedule is brutal. Ah'ite, they have us with one more loss. My bet is they think we could lose one more to either Texas, Oklahoma St., or Kansas St. (on the road)... They're reasonable assumptions for betting purposes if you are taking the under. I personally would be on the over. Their assumption is we win 8. They don't think we lose to Kansas, Iowa St., Texas Tech, $2Georgia Southern, Liberty, or Maryland, which are very solid assumptions to which I wholeheartedly agree.

I think we can beat any team on our schedule including TCU, Baylor, and Oklahoma on the road. But, if not, and if a 4th loss occurs, it will be Texas, Oklahoma St., or Kansas St (on the road).

Therefore, Talon, cancel the bake sale, the pelt sell'n, and the peanut pick'n yard sales to round up fuel money and campin' site fees in Morgantown.... Ain't gonna happen. Save that money for the old lady's electrolysis.

Cat got the Talon's tongue(small as it is) I think I saw it stuck to his fur as he moved through the room..... Nice.... wait until after the game. Talon be like Doc Holliday when questioned by police bout his player's behavior.... Cat had nothing to do with Doc's he just swallowed his.... No habla Ingles policia.... No habla Ingles senor Couch.....take our mujer, just leave us solo.....

Like Apollo Creed said(as will GSU players/coaches/fans), "Ain't gonna be no rematch"

Sorry Couch, I didn't know this thread was directed to me - TALON > (all caps)
Lets see now, are you saying that Vegas is ALWAYS RIGHT?
I don't care about the over/under!
I don't care about giving or taking points!
GSU flys the Black Flag at their games to show that we give no quarter nor expect any from any team!!!!!
WVU WILL GO DOWN!

WE could careless what the odds makers say the line is on this game before the game is even played. All we care about is the outcome at the end of the game.

In less than 100 days it will be GATA Time.

Hey Couch, 81Eagle had an interesting idea to bring WVU & VT closer together.

You two could share an NC trophy case.

Leave the cognitive stuff to TALON - SAVY !!!!!!!!

You are right about that, WVU is definitely going down. Down to about the 3rd string in the 3rd qrter that is.

Oooops, for a minute their I thought you said - WVU was definitely going down on the third string in the 3rd.
Sorry, my bad, carry on.

What a grand coliseum to do battle in & take away a win in our first true year of FBS!

 

[BurninDownTheCouch]

Ol' Couch was asked for a prediction for WVU's opening game against GSU....

 

[GSUsTALON]

The THROW DOWN in Mtown.

I hate to counter your Mr. T analogy of the up coming throw down in Mtown. I mean that was a good clip. The underdog GSU in the RED, WHITE & TRUE BLUE EAGLE trunks and all. Still it's the outcome that must bother U & this board! ;-)

 

[BurninDownTheCouch]

Ah, Talon, we all know that movies are staged. Funny thing is, hopefully, football isn't(sometimes have my doubts). But, I digress. No, there will be no lay-downs, no "cuts", or "take 5".... Just the silence in the minds of our players as they stare down our prey. And, the deafening noise through the earholes of Ga Southern's hideous helmets....confusion will set in(understandably), paralysis of the body and mind on simple assignments, coaches pulling facemasks yelling into player's stunned, wide-eyed, and bloodied, faces. Yes, most folks will be tempted to change channels(we play TV), but the hardcore gladiator-like fan......the one who enjoys carnage, he'll stick around, and be rewarded with his pound of flesh.

Erin Andrews may come back to ESPN for this... That is if I can convince her over our Morgantown weekend together(she's so persistent, but impetuous at times, I wouldn't put it past her).

I just hope our freshman can show stamina and poise... They will have to embrace this opportunity; they won't get this much playing time the rest of the year.

"The Couch" aka "The Spin Doctor"

I can see that your a die hard WVU fan & that's good.
I just don't want my new friend to be crushed under the pressure of defeat as it should become apparent over the next few months. With you this may not happen untill the game is concluded and the sting of defeat is apparent. I don't want this to happen to you. You will be at the game with no ability for me to consul you. I SHUTTER!
