The line opened at 10.5 with an O/U of 50.5. the line went to 11.5 and back to 10.5. I would have thought it would be more like 9.

Kudos to whoever setup the presser. Every question could be heard clearly. Finally, they figured out how to mic the questioners. Let's keep up the good work next week!

I saw that their starting Mike linebacker Dorian Pringle who is arguably their best player on defense so far this season is out for the season after hurting his knee against Liberty.

Pringle is a Massillon kid who was off to a great start.

Drew Pyne not exactly setting the world on fire. 165 yards per game. 3 TD in 4 games.

They have 3 RB's with 30+ carries. So that's interesting. Keeping them all with fresh legs, I suppose. All with about 150 yards each. Roberts is probably their best, he's currently 2nd on the team in receptions as well. (12) (Leader has 13) they still average about 50 yards less rushing per game than OU does.

They still like to feed the TE, though this one isn't on the same planet as Fannin.

They lost to UC and Louisville, so they haven't exactly played a cupcake schedule, but certainly nowhere near what OU has had to deal with. They beat a bad Liberty team. And scored 26 at home vs ULL.


If OU can put up points, even if the defense is asleep they should be able to hold them off. I just don't see any firepower to the offense, unless Pyne suddenly comes alive. Luckily, the D (other than last week) has been pretty strong. If OU can figure out what led to an avalanche of yards for GW, keep Parker and Chase hot, and limit turnovers - should be a solid W.

With Army playing at ECU tomorrow night, Navy playing in the 3:30 slot vs Rice, and Air Force playing on FS1, they turned to the MAC to fill the noon slot. Of the three conference games this week, this one appears to be the most competitive and features two teams that might be in the running for the MACCG. including the defending champs. And there's the added attraction in Eddie George.

You never know with MAC football, but I'll be a little upset if OU doesn't win by 3-4 TD. Of course, I'll be happy with any healthy win, but OU should pretty handily beat them. I certainly didn't have this one circled as a close one, even though I think Pyne will eventually figure out he's pretty solid at the football, just not this week. And not at home. The defensive collapse vs GW must be getting some betters to lay down cash.

I haven't picked a side yet but 8.5 seems like a smash with the way OUr offense has played. I did take the points, o50.5 and that's up to 51.5 now. It was a similar total last week and that cashed in the first half.

Some sites are down to 7.5 now. It jumped to 11.5 after open which seemed too high to me. Now 7.5 seems low. I hope that there isn't some information out there about an Ohio injury or something that somehow none of us know about.

The OSU line varied between 35 and 27 which one end seemed way too high and the other too low. This one hasn't moved that much but the line also isn't as big and there probably isn't as much money.

I have eight tickets in Section 106 Row 18 -- Free of charge. Hit me up. I'd say use my email turneyiv@gmail.com -- easier for me -- if you want them I need name and phone number to transfer them to.

Parking Pass....the pain.

I have spent the last hour trying to buy a parking pass for tomorrow. It is so Mickey m-O-U-se. No place does it say parking is sold out. You click on a link to buy parking - You choose one of the (2) options - it tells you: "There were no seats that matched your preferences. Please adjust your selections and try again." WTF.

Can't the site just say the lots are sold out for F sake? There is a small chance the site cannot accommodate an Android Tablet but that would make us look more clown town than missing an extra point against the Suckeyes man.

If they need help with technology, I will do it for free. Been there, done that.

If you still need a parking pass, please PM me. I have tickets in the Orange Lot (next to Walter Hall). I'll check back on Saturday morning.

P.S. This may be more difficult than I thought, though I've transferred passes and tickets before electronically. My game tickets, parking passes and OBC End Zone Club tickets were automatically downloaded to my Android Wallet today. The Parking Pass says it can't be shared from the Wallet. I tried to go to OhioBobcats via the app thinking maybe I could transfer from their which would render the download null and void; however the app says "Dev Build," which I suppose means "developmental build." This is new, I think. And, as might be expected to happen with betaware, it freezes and won't open up. Seems things like this should have been worked out before the season began. Reminds me of the City of Athens that always seems to schedule major street repair just when school starts to create the maximum number of traffic jams.

The Dev Build thing has been there for a few years now. But all that app is a different skin around the ohiobobcats.com content. The tickets section is nothing more than a redirect to their website. If you log into the ticket section of ohiobobcats.com it's the same on the phone and you can transfer tickets there.

Just tried to buy one as well and it said it can't find any. I assumed that was because they were sold out but maybe not? Its very annoying though. Have they forced you to prepay in years past? I always remember pulling up to pretty much any parking lot and being able to pay on the spot.

I hope paying at one of the lot(s) is still an option. If not, we will be driving all over Athens to find a damn spot, miss the tailgate and probably KO.

I tried on an Android (PIXEL Pro), Android tablet (using it right now) and a Windows Laptop (last night). ZERO. The fact that each device shows the same thing, leads me to believe prepaid spots are gone (even though it says "no tickets" are available after selecting the prepaid parking box).
