#1 Texas (0-0/0-0) at #3 Ohio State (0-0/0-0) Game thread

😂😂.  Stop with using the facts.  It hurts. 

Well the obvious counterpoint is-- Ohio State's record against the SEC since 2024, is 2-0.

Or that maybe the counterpoint is that a guy whose team is 3-8-1 against Vanderbilt shouldn't throw stones

Or maybe the counterpoint is that an engineer who's trying to quote statistical facts in an effort to put someone in his place, should make an attempt to at least get them correct.

That record is now 4-8-1 thank you very much.

(And Texas has won 100% of the games played in the last 96 years)

I don't know, the math seems sound to me...

Is this why Tennessee came to the Shoe in December thinking it's going to be a breeze?

[utee94]

Dunno, can't speak for the fake UT.

Horns certainly didn't take the Buckeyes lightly in Arlington, they gave their best shot and just weren't quite good enough.

Same thing's gonna happen on Saturday.

But maybe next year in Austin...

Ya well most of those SEC matchups have been below the mason-dixon,so HFA really exits. It was in the low 20's for that game VS the Vols,so basically football weather.And even tOSU should pull it out this week it prolly would mean losing the rematch later - that's no fun.Texas defense will be a hard out,depth and talent,deep rotation

SurlyHorns be like this Saturday Nite

beat me to it

The point spread on Saturday's Texas-Ohio State showdown has been on the move all week, with the Longhorns becoming a favorite at some sportsbooks.

The Buckeyes opened as a 3-point favorite months ago, but sportsbooks have been reporting a steady stream of money on the Longhorns throughout the summer, causing the line to move toward Texas.

The consensus line was a pick 'em as of noon ET Friday, while at ESPN BET, the odds have moved multiple times between the Buckeyes and Longhorns being favored.

Circa, a sportsbook known to cater to professional bettors, had seen enough interest on the Longhorns to move them to a 1-point favorite on Thursday. Derek Stevens, the owner of Circa, said on VSIN that a $550,000 bet on Texas preceded the move to Longhorns -1. The line had ticked back to pick 'em by early Friday at Circa.

Degenerate gamblers don't know anything.

another poke at Nubbz?

Degenerate gamblers don't know anything. 

Yep. As my old bookie friend said, if bettors are moving the line, take the other side. The oddsmakers are usually right more often than the betting public.

Some friends and family coming over for the 11 AM game.  I'm doing breakfast tacos with choices of eggs, chorizo, potato, bacon, cheese, homemade salsa, and my sister's boyfriend is bringing over the carne guisada.  We'll have mimosas, screwdrivers, bloody marys, and other assorted adult beverages.

Hook 'em Horns!
