Game Thread #1 Texas at #2/#3 tOSU, Sat. Aug. 30th, 12pm ET, FOX

I hate to give the weasels any credit, ever, but they had a point about a few of our squads. There was some softness, but not lately and I don't see that at all with 2025, players or coaches. They don't seem lost because leaders left. They have stepped up as leaders. I'm not at all worried about this group against Texas to open and I'm not sure there's been another year's team where I wouldn't have had some uncertainty with a game like this, especially to start the season.

Texas Overtaking Ohio State As Betting Favorite

It seems a lot of money is pouring in on Texas to defeat Ohio State tomorrow.

The No. 3 Buckeyes opened as a 3-point favorite to defeat the No. 1 Longhorns at home. But that line has continued dipping as the days passed, and now, as kickoff is less than 24 hours away, Texas is favored by most of the biggest oddsmakers.

DraftKings now favors Texas by 1.5 points. FanDuel has taken the same line, as has ESPNBet.

No doubt the point spread swing for this game will be talked about throughout Columbus, including in the Ohio State locker room, and you're going to see this team infuriated by that as an "us [Ohio] against the world" thing that makes the whole stadium and the team come out foaming at the mouth tomorrow.

If I'm a Texas fan the last thing in the world I want is to have the defending champion Ohio State Buckeyes generate a very strong rallying cry in the last 24 hours preceding the game.

Is anyone outside of our own homers giving us a chance to win this game?

It's hilarious how the narrative has legit gotten formed that Texas has s significant talent advantage and Ohio State will be lucky to keep up.

I think the sports media world just really wants another Manning to piggy back on for years to come that's where the desire for him to shine and Texas to do well comes from outside of ESPNSEC and other SEC hack world, who are throating Texas for the obvious reason .
