    Tony Mejia of CBS SportsLine picked against the Tigers:
    Texas 76, LSU 67

    Doesn't sound right to me but I haven't read enough about the match-up to make a decent argument. Is this legit?

    Something else to keep in mind - this game isn't really at Texas. It's in Houston and an enormous contingent of LSU fans will be attending.

    I feel confident that we'll win by at least 6 points and possibly more. I'm getting anxious as hell.

    Yes, and with Texas not looking so hot to start the season, I don't think UT will travel as well as otherwise expected. It will probably be a wash in terms of home court advantage.

    Right - Interestingly enough - I know more LSU fans in Houston going to the game than I do Horns fans from Austin making the drive - and I know the road nuts here.

    Granted - Houston has it's share of Horns fans too, but we'll show well.

    Any strategy tips on flipping between this game and the Saints? I can only record 2 shows at any one time (and am then forced to watch one of the two recording shows) and Family Guy isn't getting the axe at 8:00.

    I've seen Tx a couple of time and they have a bunch of quality athletes that just haven't come together as a team. I don't see it happening in time for tonight's game but would bet they'll be a force later in the year. Barnes is a pretty good coach.

    Neither.

    You should come join me at the Sports Bar off I-35 near Rundberg (It's called 300 Sports Bar). Old name was Texas Sports Bar (totally renovated, beautiful, spacious and plenty of plasmas, and 2 big screens). You can watch both games simulataneously.

    9504 N Ih 35 is the address
