With 9 days to go, it appears Talon has

come to terms with the inevitable..... Once the drumbeats got louder and louder as game day approached, his voice got fainter and fainter, I totally understand.

The line is between 19 1/2 and 20 1/2(I said 21 early in summer and Tony laughed and said no way)........

We are a heavy favorite over the #49 team in the country
Marshall is a TD favorite over the #86 team in the country.......hummmm

Our opponent is almost twice as good as Marshall's, but we are almost three times the favorite Marshall is. I'm saying we would be a 21 point favorite if it were Marshall walking into MPS as well.

I didn't say that wouldn't be the line , I said no way WVU would cover that number! But with GSU's starting QB on the bench we'll never know the answer to that burning question!

We sure will ... about 11pm on the 5th.

Not really.....losing your starting QB significantly changes a critical variable in the equation. I thought all along WVU would prevail in a close game. But for a option team to lose their starting QB berroe the first snap is usually a fatal blow!

Didn't your only win against a ranked team come in similar fashion? Against a good KSU team that just lost their starting QB?

So, then, technically, we shouldn't even give you credit for the ONE win you have over a ranked team?

Didn't he once say something about his Mom not being in the best of health? I hope things are all right on the home front for Talon.

Not true.... The line wasn't even out when you said that, so there was no basis to say if we "cover" a line that was not out. The question was, 'what will be the line'?

Kinda like when Kansas State lost Ell Roberson and had to play some slow, white dude, giving Marshall their only Top 25 victory in the history of their football program...

Didn't see your reply until after I replied to Tony. That is exactly right, though. Marshall's lone Top 25 victory has a big ol' asterisk next to it...

ValleyBoy has not heard nything out of TALON in several weeks. He must still be in a drunken stuper.

You put the line at 21, I just said I'd take 21...and I still would if GSU was at full strength!

Yes, that's true KSu went on the win the Big 12 but los tt ous without Roberson. The QB position in college football is critical and Roberson was very good college QB and a half ass CFL QB! Too bad for GSU losing their starter but injuries, suspension are part of the game!

A card laid is a card played, Tony. There's no backing out of a bet. Those have been the rules since men used to match spots on bark to see who got to cut off the others head.

Couch is tricky, Tony. Stay away from him on cold days if there's a metal flag pole nearby. He'll throw the triple dog dare at you right off the bat.

Now, do you boys prefer chainsaws or axes?

Hahahah.....more like a difference of opinion than a bet, betting across state lines is illegal. But I would have taken GSU +21 but posted all summer that I thought WVU would win a dogfight but without GSU's QB more like a glorified practice.

The excuses are already flowing... Typical Marshall fan...

Just pointing out the obvious...tough blow for the Eagles!

 

[BurninDownTheCouch]

Just like all of Marshall's loses to WVU, Tony is offering even another team an "excuse" for a loss to the Flagship... GSU fans don't think it's much of a setback. They are very confident in their backup. But, Tony appears to know more about their team than they do.

Whoever Georgia State's backup is would probably have better than an 86 rating playing DIAA ball...

The line was 31 in Vagus & now around 17. Tomorrow you will loss by 3.
