USU at Utah 2013

I was in vegas last year when the utes played usu and dropped 50 bucks on the utes..... I was pretty pissed until I realized I was in vegas, so I went to the pool and had some drinks.

Also this was the time when byu was playing weber state and I wanted to put 50 on byu to cover but the sports book said they don't take bets in weber state games at all...... byu covered
 
Oh and though I know nobody cares.... I also wanted to bet on a game (can't even remember who was playing) that the favorite was favored by like 60 pts (I was taking the underdog) and vegas woild not let me bet on that game either. (Would have won that one too.)

This is how hard I took the loss at Utah State last year:

If Utah loses this year, Whitt's job should seriously be re-evaluated. If USU has "caught up" to Utah, after Utah has joined the PAC-12, gotten more money, better recruits, better facilities, and everything else we've been told the last 3 years, then Whitt has not done his job. There is no reason why Utah should be losing to a school like Utah State. None at all. Especially with Andersen gone.

Here's the thing. When Scott Barnes got to USU he and Kent Stanley (assistant AD) took a look at all the schools who had been successful over the last couple of years. They identified 7 things that they all had in common. USU finished number 7 this last spring with their new weight and conditioning center. After they identified list of 7, they knew they had to find a coach who could take them in the right direction and they found GA. Knowing that their plan would succeed, they knew that they would have to replace Gary within 5 years. The plan was to have someone waiting in the wings to promote the second Gary left. Matt Wells was introduced as the new coach before Gary was in Wisconsin.

My whole point of this is that I don't believe (and I certainly could be wrong) that last season was a fluke for USU. They have had a plan in place and what we are now seeing is the results of that plan. We have gone from coaches who were just hoping to "keep it close in the fourth quarter so we could have a chance to win" to where we expect to win. After years and years of administrations who didn't care about the football program and AD's who had no plan we've finally turned things around. Hopefully it shows on the field tomorrow...

Exactly. What kind of crank jolly roger operation is the UGLI Sportsbook running? I don't like that game to bet on anyway. Why would I take Utah State when the BYU line looks a lot more favorable? If you want to do college football betting right, you never bet single games. You pick 3 spreads or O/U's a week and try to hit at least 2.

I think a key for this game for the Aggies is the receivers. If they can make some plays the offense should be fine.

That's the other thing I was curious about. What's the scoop there? You guys mainly going to have possession type WR's this year or is there somebody that has been lighting up camp?

Oh yeah, I usually bet on multiple games when I go to Wendover and that's for any sport. I only bet one game if I think a line is way off. That's rare for it to happen, but done it twice (once for an NFL game last season and a BYU game two years ago) and it's paid off nicely for me. I got Utah -3 and I think the line is a steal. I believe the line should be -7. I could be eating crow, but we'll see tomorrow.
