And their coach is 8-0 all time in bowl games...

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

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.

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...."

Still showing Oregon State favored (-2.5) here: http://www.vegasinsider.com/college-foo ... las-vegas/

It would be nice to have another couple links to compare.

Yahoo has six lines. For the Vegas Bowl: one is not available. One is 1 1/2, one is 2 and three are 2 1/2. One over/under is 60 and the other four are 60 1/2.
