I thought this showed some interesting insight from Vito's Blog; the line has been dropping in the last few days, from 23.5 to 16.5 as of this post and related comments:

Mean Green love from betters!

Having married into an LDS family, I thought the following comment was hilarious!

Posted by Mr Positive @ 1:05 AM Wed, Sep 02, 2009

Not that I wager, but I sent 200 bucks to Vegas to bet this game at 17.5. By the time my buddy got there, Vegas was offering 16.5. I cut my wager to 100. BTW, my Boise buddy, a hardcore LDS guy, decided my passion was worth $25 of his dollars.

Money is flowing to NT.

When the line drops that much Vegas is usually up to something. This is one of just a few games on the ticket Thursday night, so you can bet your ass vegas capped this one right. My guess is Vegas is getting hit hard with money from Joe Public and has to adjust the line to even it out. BSU would be a helluva strong play IMO at this point with this type of line movement.

It is interesting that even a blog entry about the money moving in our direction managed to take on a negative slant.

Please, pretty please, Todge be nice to Vito.

Yeah, like "have some faith, even if you don't wager"!

How is taking a +23 point wager having faith??? That NT doesn't get their ass handed to them by more than 23 shows faith??? Show me how much of this money is on the moneyline. I guarantee you, this movement is not caused by mean green fans betting on the ML for a straight up win. This is Joe Public hitting a -23 point line against a BSU team that lost uber popular front man Nate Davis.

"Having faith" is a little over the top for a topic title....

The title was Vito's, that's why I quoted it. I think he called it faith, based on the movement of the line. Honestly, based on our defensive record of the last few years and Ball State's recent record, Joe Public putting that money on us even with the points might be "faith" on their part.

I guess you're right. In that context I can see that.

I'd like to know where this line opened at BSU -23???? This game opened at BSU -16 in Vegas on Aug.9??? Line movement has been very minimal with a jump to 18.5, but that's expected with a line opening up nearly 1 month in advance.

Right now, the consensus is on BSU to cover with the ML being dominated by BSU. :huh:

      So sick of the crap this football program slings us

      For sure. I think you'll always have some issues that will be attacked. I think you'll also, with any staff, have some issues that are just tendencies and won't go away. The former, we know that Morris is trying a new DC The latter, for example, I'm not holding my breathe for the QB under center any time soon.

      Should we add Texas State to the AAC?

      After the bowl, I’m of the opinion that we should have Texas State on the schedule for an annual home and home series, even if we aren’t in a conference with them. It was a great atmosphere. School is close. Large public Texas institution. Fans are fun and also like to party. What is not to like?

      A troll? I have been a fan, including student and alumni, since 1965. Think you've got me mistaken with someone else. 1. Do that every year. 2. Shirt giveaway for last night's retro night. They called it "Retro Night" and did nothing retro other than give out t's to the first 500 fans. How did they market that? Email to alumni and ticket holders three or four days prior. 3. Do people really look at the schedule and decide that frisbee dogs will make them attend? 4. Denton student day. I am assuming you are referencing the 11am tip-off women's game that, by nature of the tip time, limits attendance to those students. Sorry, I see a lack of creativity and effort because they were doing these same things in the mid 70's when I attended as a kid. I am well aware that we don't choose the announcers. Not by point. Do I think they provided them with incorrect information? Nope, that topic was probably never addressed in the production meeting, but someone from the department should be monitoring the broadcast to correct stupid comments like the one mentioned last night and referenced above. He was complimentary of UNT during the broadcast, but he pulled that "fact" out of his ass and someone should be there to correct them.

      Adding Texas State feels like such an easy call to me. It would be good for attendance and give our fans another easy road game.
