One of the funnier threads I've read in a long time.

But I do not bet on the Aggies as I would not be able to enjoy the game.
Gee. I wonder why that is?
If you really want to know the "secret" to betting a Mack Brown coached team, here it is: Bet against Texas on the 2nd half line when they are playing REALLY crappy teams. They NEVER, NEVER, NEVER cover.
Example 1: In 2003, Texas was playing Rice in Houston. The line was something like 31. In the first half, Texas plays the starters and CRUSHES Rice. The score was Texas 41, Rice 0 at halftime. The 2nd half line comes in at 17 pts. Texas then plays the starters for 1 possession, the 2nd string for 2-3 possessions, and then the scrubs (walkons and 4th string players) for half the 3rd quarter and the entire 4th quarter. Final score: Texas 48, Rice 7. Easy money.
Example 2: Texas again playing rice with the line of 30+. Texas jumps out to a 28-6 halftime lead. The line again comes in at Texas -16 or so. Texas pulls all the starters. Final Score: Texas 35, Rice 13.
Texas NEVER runs it up on the weak teams in the 2nd half. Easiest money in all of college football.
