Farmageddon!!!!

For Texas, it’s going to be OU, A&M, and Arkansas, but I would get more hype if Georgia or LSU was their third permanent opponent instead of Arkansas. Don’t get me wrong, I respect the history of this rivalry from the SWC era, but it hasn’t been a premier rivalry since the ‘60s and ‘70s. After joining the SEC in the early ‘90s, outside of some splash seasons with Houston Nutt, Bobby Petrino, Darren McFadden, Felix Jones, Ryan Mallett (RIP), etc., Arkansas hasn’t been nationally relevant in college football and probably won’t be for the foreseeable future. Seems like more of their NIL is allocated to baseball and basketball than football. I think having LSU or Georgia will lead to more intriguing matchups and also be great for recruiting in those states. I know Texas has done well recruiting in those states without playing in those states, but those would be fun road trips to make every other year.

The way I see the 3 permanent opponents Georgia: Florida; Auburn; South Carolina Bama: Auburn; Tennessee; LSU Texas: ou; aggy; Arkansas LSU: Ole Miss; aggy; Bama Tennessee: Vandy; Bama; Florida Auburn: Bama; Georgia; Vandy aggy: Texas; LSU; ou Ole Miss: LSU; Miss St.; Kentucky Miss St.: Ole Miss; Kentucky; Vandy ou: Texas; aggy; Missouri Florida: Georgia; Tennessee; S. Carolina South Carolina: Georgia; Florida; Missouri Vandy: Tennessee; Auburn; Miss St. Missouri: ou; Arkansas; South Carolina Kentucky: Miss St.; Ole Miss; Arkansas Arkansas: Texas; Missouri; Kentucky

Pass. Football starts tomorrow. Don’t need to watch some special.

I’m thinking this may be a precursor to the SEC changing the champion game to a play in game for 3/4 or 5/6.

Vegas set the initial line at -3.5. That’s what Vegas’ analytics are telling them. It’s the casual betting public who are moving the line right now, not Vegas. The smart money will come in Saturday morning before the game, that’s the movement to watch. The movement right now means nothing.

I think you are going to find out the hard way on 8/30 that those guys are all experienced. Until then, we will just have to agree to disagree.

It’s -2.5 on FD, the only book I use. The initial line and the line the morning of the game are the only lines that matter. Right now it’s just casual gamblers moving the line.

I primarily follow FanDuel. Ohio State is -2.5. If the spread only moved .5 after the smart money came in, I would be shocked. It’s going to move a couple points the morning of the game. We won’t know how the sharps are feeling about it until then. If I wake up and Texas is -.5 or it’s an even line, I’ll be extremely nervous.

There's a thread with some of the upcoming games that Gerry and CJ outlined earlier today. For Texas recruits, commits from the state of Florida play tonight and this weekend. Dia Bells game for American Heritage is nationally broadcast tonight and Derrick Cooper with Chaminade Madonna plays tomorrow on national tv. For future Texas high school games I believe you can watch live broadcasts through Dave Campbell's website with a paid subscription as their games start next week.

-2 now

They really didn’t play a prominent role. If you believe that, then you need to say we have 3/5 guys on the Oline because that’s how many have played “prominent” roles in championship or playoff games. I’m guessing a number of those reps are in the final one or two drives after it was game over. This is after you said they’ve played hundreds more snaps than Arch, which is clearly not the case. For a QB, two starts is valuable. There’s some value in the limited snaps versus UGa, A&M and OSU. For him, more than his lack of experience, is whether he gets good pass protection. Same for Sayin. Reps certainly matter, but his pedigree is wholly unique. By and large it’s evenly matched.

Anyone know of any games that would be good to check out in a couple of weeks or have a website that lists the games for the above week? Again, @Gerry Hamilton may know more than anyone about this but I thought I would ask.😁🤘

I saw where the former RB coach at Duncanville is going to my alma mater South Garland. Anyone know about his coaching ability? @Gerry Hamilton may know something. I know he used to play there in high school and was a pretty good player from what I recall. He's also hired Cedric Dockery as the offensive line coach so that will be awesome I'm sure.

If only adults could show as much grace as Arch does on a daily basis. He's all class in terms of how he has managed his situation.

Well it’s at -1.5 now big guy. Moving the wrong way for you. Vegas knows more often than not. The -3.5 was to reel in the Texas $$.

Never said it would go towards Texas. Idk how much you bet or follow it but I do closely. There’s a better chance I suit up at LT than OSU is -5.5. Barring a catastrophic injury of course. I would guess that OSU is somewhere between -1 and -3 come kick.

100%. The absolute worst thing that could happen is for the game to be decided by a controversial call and that be the talk of the season, rather than how great of a game it was and how Texas or Ohio State earned that one.

I just said on the road with 4/5 new OL my prediction is he will struggle. I also have the humility to admit I could be completely wrong and we leave that stadium as quiet as we did in 2005 😞 The line is going to move one way or the other hours before the game. It always does. You just think it’s going to go towards Texas, I think it’s going to go towards the home team. Neither prediction is off base, because it is going to move, we are both just guessing which way that will be.

I whole heartedly agree.
