Since so many of you are chalking up your trip to Kyle as a win and talking big about this year, which of you will step forward and put money on the game? No point spread.

There is no way in hell I would ever bet on a Tech game, much less a Tech vs. A&M game.

If I bet for Tech, they will lose.
If I bet against Tech, they will win.

And besides....some of us are smart enough not to predict the outcome of a Tech v. A&M game....too damn unpredictable.

I don't believe in gambling.

why would you not give us a spread?

If I bet against Tech, they will win.

Then take the bet...I'm sure your fellow TTechsters will reimburse you for ensuring victory.

I'll give you points.

I never bet money....only beer.

If tech loses, I'll let SA and Paul win in 42.

Naked,

I will step forward. $100 bucks spread included...that's only fair. How can I contact you to work out the details.

Now that it is time to nut up, the predictions from the technicals are not so bold.

For the record, I would not have bet on us last year in Lubbock. Nor did I make any bold predictions otherwise.

If we are playing with spread, we will have to wait till the week of the game and see what the spread will be before we start betting.

Buck-

I don't even know SA personally, but I do know that because he is an Aggie, and I am an Aggie, that we will both personally whip your ass (and your partner..don't bring a horn, they don't know what the hell it is) in 42 because we are smarter and better than ttuer's.[/pompous ass mode]

Buck,
I'm with Paul, we'd smoke you techsters in 42! I'm fairly certain you can major in bones under the college of Agriculture at A&M .

DallasRaider,
Buck is a Raider.

first of all, yall could give me the worst 42 player you know, pair him with me, and I would beat anyone on this board

back to the business at hand, what is all this crying about wanting to take the spread on your bet?

that is chicken ****, especially considering all the big talk you techsters have been spewing out

I agree. If you can't take your own team without points, you need to stop talking smack. Smack talk is for winners. If the bet is whether or not A&M is going to beat you by a little or beat you by a lot, you need to shut your hole.

Big 12-0, that is without a doubt the lamest statement I've ever heard. Make up something about having lost big in the past, or how you don't want to just take their money... but this makes you look like such a wuss. Hell, even these guys know you never bet on your own team, they're just checking to see if there is anything behind your 'talk'... now we all know there isn't.

Go home, meat.

Aggie War Hymn-"Let's bet, if you don't bet then that means we beat you," "If we beat you in 42 then that means we are better then you." Ags, this is really getting pitiful. You guys are losing respect by the minute!

Better to have had respect, and lost it, than to never have been respected at all I guess.

The only bad press is no press at all...

Better to be hated than ignored...

Success breeds contempt...

Everyone hates a winner...

I give myself a WTF?

PaulAg,

I live in a constant state of pompous ass mode..

Well, you live in Valley Ranch, and you're a horn...so I guess it's your right.

I only turn it on every once in a while.

Paul...

Actually I live in Grapevine now..

Grapevine is much better than The Ranch.

It is so funny how a little thing like beer in a grocery store can amaze you. I just sit and stare at the beer aisle and weep for joy..

Grapevine is a pretty nice area. Are you over by the GHS or closer to CHHS?

When I lived in DFW, we lived in one of the lower middle class areas of Bedford, and we used to drive out to see all the houses in Colleyville.

We were poor.

Oh, and beer is good.

Paul..

I am not sure, I just moved two weeks ago..

I live where Dove road empties into the south shore of the Lake..

Beer is good

Understatement of the century.

I have no clue where Dove road is, but I do know where Grapevine lake is.

To add to my story, we didn't have time to look at street signs because when we rolled into town the cops generally followed us and then escorted us out. Good times.

Just some idle rantings before I log off..

1. Thats Bullcrap!
2. They give scholarships too..
3. Half the teams lost today..
4. Thats a Chickensh** question.
5. Does anyone have a question besides Larry Bowen? Anybody....Anybody..

I give answer 2 and 3 to my boss at work sometimes when a project is not one of my best.

I'm in for $100.

P.S. Has anyone ever successfully collected on a message board bet?

"I don't know what's wrong with them. Maybe it's their lack of disrespect." - Seth McKinney on Tech fans

I did.

I put $100 on the 1999 Texas vs TT game against the spread (14.5), ironically. I got the money on the following wednesday. Good guy actually...

hook em

I didn't say anything about betting on the UT game, although I'd think about it since it is in Lubbock.

Ironic not because there is discussion of betting on the same game, but rather because it was my team versus TT. Either way, we beat you like red-headed step children.

I must be too stupid to follow the logic of your first sentence. I did understand the part about the beating. I have no idea what Tech will show up with defensively this year. Against atm, I don't think that matters as much. The ags are "self limiting". If Tech has a half decent offensive day with few turnovers and the ags will drop their 6th of 8 to Tech. Against Texas, Tech will need a better than average offensive day and a stellar defensive day. I'm not yet ready to put money on a stellar defensive day for Tech.

I would not have bet on the Aggies last year before or during the season. This year? I won't bet on the game with the sips..admit they are loaded. Mac does cut the point spread in half with his lack of coaching skills.

Bet on the Tech game this year? Sure, that's money in the bank this season!

I don't blame you Chile. What with all those offensive starters coming back to repeat the huge production from last year.

Yep, I am anxious to see how many times we can cross the 30 yard line...our own 30 yard line!

I do remember the ags crossing our 30 last year. But your QB threw to the black jerseys. I don't know if you knew this, but that QB will be under center again this year.

maybe not...I have a sneaky suspicion that we might see Jason C. or Reggie M. if the offense sputters early.
