That is worrisome. That is an impressive record. Guy must know how to prepare. Here is to Bronco getting our guys ready.

Re: Oregon State is Favored
my Iphone ESPN app currently lists BYU as favored by 2.5 points with the over/under at 60.5.
Are more people betting on Oregon pushing the line back to BYU?

And the only true redemption and manner of earning respect in that situation is to go out and win the game.BerliNY wrote:I've said it before and I'll say it again: Oddsmakers are the only ones that can be trusted with the responsibility of ranking teams. That said it's still pretty frustrating to play the underdog role on a neutral field against a team that we outrank in every major poll.
Boise State did it, as well as others.... You can't scream for respect. People lose respect for you if you do so.... You earn it decisively "between the lines," "between the whistles" and on the scoreboard.
RESPECT!!?
Remember what happened to the man who refused to call Muhammad Ali so...? He walked into the ring sneering "Cassius Clay...," He was carried away on a stretcher whispering uncontrollably "Muhammad Alli, Muhammad Ali, your name is Muhammad Ali...."
