    Here's something I found interesting. @tirk may have seen similar numbers.

    Over the last 10 years the underdog has covered about 50% of the time. The crazy stat is this one—the underdog has won those games outright a bit over 70% of the time. It makes the money lines look attractive if you're playing the underdog.

    Speaking of...underdog SEC teams like Kentucky and Florida this year getting six or more? SEC historically cover well in game like this. I saw 16-4 over the last ten years mentioned the other day with 11 being outright wins.

    People talk about the bowl season being down, and it is in some ways. There's still a lot of entertainment left.

    Bama has had trouble with running quarterbacks who can pass well. Running quarterbacks aren't an issue by themselves. I see a lot use that phrase, and it's intellectually dishonest. It takes a hell of a game, by a dual threat quarterback who does well in both areas. He's capable of both--hell of a quarterback.

    I expect it to be a good ball game. There are some ways OU can attack the Bama defense and have a lot of success.

    clearly you are wrong. If it weren't for a piecemeal offensive line, average running backs, young receivers, and a first year transfer QB then E's game plan would have been victory! If you just watch the play call, it would be obvious to tell. You are not a football guy like me. I played football 40 years ago so I know.

    E for president when my main man T gets the boot!!
