Ball State/ Tulsa

[spang]

YTD:74-69 +29.8

I will start out by saying that Ball State is probably the better team and if conditions are bad tonight as some have stated they will have even more of an advantage. They are a solid team that should still be unbeaten had they not have gave the MAC championship game to Buffalo. The Bulls got every whistle and every break in the world in that game.

However I've been fading the MAC with success and we have Tulsa laying a field goal to a team from a league that is 0-4 in the bowls. On top of that, Ball State has never won a bowl game and playing under a coach who has been elevated to the top spot and is coaching his first game tonight.

I'm just going to toss one unit on Tulsa.A very small play for starters and look for an edge at the half. Tough game to cap with a shitload of variables including the weather to consider.

Tulsa -2' -115 for one unit

Why does everyone keep saying Ball St. has never been in a bowl game?? The fact of the matter is just last year they were smoked by Rutgers. Here is the results of their bowl history.

Record: 0-4

Jan. 5, 2008 International Bowl-Rutgers 52, Ball State 30

Dec. 19, 1996 Las Vegas Bowl-Nevada 18, Ball State 15

Dec. 17, 1993 Las Vegas Bowl-Utah St. 42, Ball State 33

Dec. 9, 1989 California Bowl-Fresno St. 27, Ball State 6

Yeah I read the article and actually emailed the source so they could correct the error. I must have still had that in mind when I quickly put my little write up together. I regularly visit the Ball State website so I knew it very well, just a brain fart. At 52 years old they seem to occur with more frequency than they did in the past.

You seem like a sharp guy that knows the MAC pretty well. You should post more often.

BTW: closing up shop here. I don't have a lean on the Fla/ OK game so I'll just wrap it up now. Thriiled to cash some big plays in the bowl games to get me up 30 units for the season after being in the red for the bulk of the year. Thanks to all the great cappers here that had a positive influence in my outcome.
