Looks like it may be on espn3... Not sure though

Yeah, it's on ESPN3. So you can view it online. I'm sure if you get gameplan, you can get it. Or if you have a XBOX 360, there is a new ESPN app that you can watch it on. You have to have the XBOX Live Gold subscription, I'm sure.

Scott looks like he's got good vision... Well the d is a bit slow but still

May need to see mackey... Stout is throwing it up too much... He's not exactly throwing it to randy moss or Fitzgerald

I did think we would easily cover the 21 point spread... But I've learned not to bet on the Rebels! The play calling seemed to get TOO conservative way TOO early in the game. It's happened before with Nutt, but I thought Lee was calling the plays this year.

Stoudt's gotta protect the ball, and the linemen have to protect him.

As far as literally betting on the rebels... I always take then as the underdog... If and when we lose to better teams we put up a fight and lose by small margins beating the spread... Especially in basketball

Assuming we're always picked to loose, you're right. But it works the other way when we are heavy favorites. Like today, we could have all made money taking SIU and the 21 points. I agree as a coach you shouldn't care about the Vegas line, but you don't impress voters when you never cover the spread against the cupcake teams.

As the UNDERDOG! only take them when they are picked to lose
