Well here we go fellas.....
The start to the college bowl season, and the end of college football for a year. Thats pretty rough to think about since this one has been so profitable! Anyways tonights game is a game that i am loving! I am putting it out as a very big play. It always seems that the games i really like are early in the week which is rough b/c as i said before i like to build momentum before i start bombing games, but tonight will be an exception........

S. Miss vs. North Texas

North Texas

30 UNITS!!!

First of all there are many things that come into play in capping bowl games like motivation, situations, style of offenses vs. styles of defense, and flat out who is playing for more! For instance if a team got fucked out of a BCS bowl and are now playing in a shit bowl that means nothing, u may want to take the dog. Or if a Qb is trying to impress the scouts b/c he is going to enter the draft, taking that team isnt a bad choice. And most of all, alot of dogs usually come in during bowl season. Again i think this is because of lack of motivation for certain teams playing against another team that really had to play well just to get to that bowl.

There are many reasons for my big play tonight! First of all Jamario Thomas. He is one of the best running backs in the nation. He needs 155 rushing yards to pass Ron Daynes NCAA freshman rushing record. Not to mention that he missed 2 games so far this season. If he didnt he would have already shattered that record. S. Miss allowed JJ arington of cal to rush for 261 yards! And let me tell u that north texas's offensive line is just as good if not better than cals offensive line! And Jamario Thomas in my eyes is a better running back than JJ arington. With that being said, If north texas establishs their running game, they will controll this game. The can eat up the clock and keep the time of posession in their favor unless they just break huge plays off and score alot of points. With establishing the run it makes the passing game twice as effective! I've seen both of these teams play many times this year. Yes S. Miss has played against better competition, but they struggle against the run! And thats basically the bottom line of this game. Since losing their first 4 games SU and ATS north texas has went
7-0 SU and ATS to finish off the season. S. miss on the other hand has been up and down. Not to mention that because of the rain out early in the season s. miss only had 10 days to prepare for this game. North texas had almost a full month! That gives them alot more time to view the other team since they normally dont play each other. North texas is a great team ATS too. They are 6-0 ATS after playing a conference game and off a win against a conference rival this year. They are 15-4 ATS after playing a conference game and off a win against a conference rival the past 3 years. North texas has alot to play for tonight. They are the only team representing the sun belt conference this year. Capping this game very closely i have come up with North texas winning this game by a TD. So i will gladly take the 4.5 points............


GL to everyone and comments are welcome!

Lets start this bowl season off right and finish the college football season strong!!!

gl to you but i am backing my boys from mississippi...but i think the southern miss defense can handle the run with all american linebacker micheal boley and that will force them into the passing game which should be an advantage for the golden eagles...

should be a fun one to watch

I Like the under in tonights game- what do you guys think- Normally I take the over but I think this one is to high!

I like north texas a lot and here's why, SMISS will be keying on thomas, they probably will stack 8 up front and I think this will be a big mistake because North TExas has a more than capable passing game. I agree with preachermann the short preparation will be a factor, and playing in this bowl game is a let down for SMiss after starting the season 4-0. They have gone 2-5 since. North Texas has gone 1-8 in their last 9 games played out of confrence. They should be ready to play and save some face for the Sun-Belt. Good luck everyone...!!

This is what scares me the most.

IMO, it should be a pretty good game even if SoMiss shuts down NT's running game (which i dont see happening) because SoMiss just doesnt have much of an offensive threat. JT will run for 200+, and easily break the record, just as every other respectable RB has done against SoMiss. SoMiss may have the better defense, but their offense still needs to score to win the game. (assuming turnovers are not a big factor :rolleyes: , which they hopefully arent)

simply stated, NT wins as long as they dont turn over the ball and let SoMiss's defense score points for them.

on a side note, i read something interesting about the emotion that NT will be taking into this game in regards to the death of their former QB that led them to their 1 new orleans bowl win. just another intangable to think about.

again, GL to everyone playing today.

North Texas +5.5

Yeah coyote i got NT +5.5 too. GL tonight!

Thanks sponjah....GL tongiht!

Thanks theglov....I am seeing a very profitable bowl season! GL tongiht!!!

myph.....like i said to bparr13, at least one of us will win. GL tonight!

One thing i have to metion though is that too many people are going with S. miss because they lost to cal by only 10. 1 they were also at home, 2 that was the worst game i have seen cal play all season.

The game is going off in 15 minutes.........

GL to everyone!!!

And North Texas backers.........LETS ROCK!!!

sorry buddy but my boys from southern mississippi came to play...new orleans is home for alot of those players so they had a nice home crowd there and took care of the running game only 98 yards given up on the ground on like 28 carries...so they did what i thought they could and make the n.texas go to the air...
