they couldn't believe it. Started talking about how much money they should put on us. Just a another indication of how people perceive our program. They are expecting a beat down...so am I.

hands of Vegas experts rather than "die hard Bama fans". Those were the same guys that praised us hiring Crooms

guys don't stay in business by people consistently beating them. I had 2 roomies @ State that bet big nightly, they won some, they lost some but both ended up losing stereos, tv's, golf clubs etc in the long run. I would bet some basketball games (back in those days UTEP always** covered) and honestly made some beer drinking money but their problems taught me alot.

Edited to ask: Any of you remember "Johnny" that lived in the neighborhood out behind Christys Burgers on 12? Thats where me and my roomies always dabbled in pointspreads. The only room in the whole house I remember having any furniture in it was the dining room and that was only a table and chair where he sat and answered the phones and paid/collected. Always wondered if the neighbors knew what was up w/ all of those cars coming and going.
