ISU (-20.5) opening line vs. Louisiana-Monroe
- Thread starter ChrisMWilliams
- Start date
Virginia, maybe Duke, maybe BC or Wake Forest (I'm not sold on them yet).
I wish I could put Miami in that group but they are similar garbage to FSU.
The BC that got trashed by Kansas at home ?
It's Clemson.. a ginormous gap, and then Virginia. Everyone else is either average or way below average in that conference.
hence why I said maybe. My point is outside of Clemson and maybe a couple decent teams the ACC teams are bad, so I don't care that FSU almost got beat by LAM because we aren't as bad as FSU.
That results in a maybe?
The ACC is struggling. They’d be in serious trouble in terms of conference stability had Clemson not hired Dabo imo. Tough to share the same region as the SEC.
ULM +19 is a no brainer pick, based on what we've seen so far.
Yes. The ACC schools are ALL smaller than most people realize.
PS. AND while this is happening, the Big Xll is showing strength on all fronts.
Because the Sharps saw a good line to bet and took ULM and the 20.5. Now, the line is down to get more money on ISU.
ISU wins 21-0. This is an easy one. Two defensive touchdowns and a 31 play 29 minute drive that takes literally the entire second half and ends in a late TD.
Part of me thinks that we won't even score 20 points. I just hope we win.
I was there. Busy killing brain cells and meeting girls. Pretty much sums up my entire student career at ISU.
So I went ahead and watched most of the game via the condensed version. FSU dominated the first half and it was a really sleepy atmosphere with maybe 1/3 crowd. FSU isn't bad and has some pretty good athletes like Cam Akers but obviously discipline and coaching are not good.
ULM is good sized team and they have a pretty good offense. They do a lot of things that remind me of ISU. Probably the best QB we've seen yet but he has a really weird arm angle / sling shot throw. A couple good receivers like #12 and a TE that can catch. The defense has some size but not real fast or overly hard working. I suppose we'll have to see how much they want to play. I see more points in this game even with potential bad weather.

I know FSU is down, but they are still loaded with talent. Plus, they have come out strong in all 3 games this year. They just cannot figure out how to finish a game yet. When they figure that out, they will be tough.
ULM has a bunch of talented players from Louisiana - many of which we would love to have on our roster. They cannot all go to LSU.
This is going to be a tough game for Iowa State - especially if the Cyclones are not focused. ULM is coming up here to WIN. They are going to be fired up to play a Big Xii team on the road and have good enough players to do so.
So far, I've seen ISU beat an FCS team in OT and lose to a B1G team by 1 this year. ULM is somewhere in between those two teams talent wise, so I am expecting a knock, down drag out fight with the WarHawks.
Let's Go State!
“Meeting” he says... either you’re being modest or you minored in “the friend zone”.
Just an interesting tidbit. The good TE you mention is Josh Pederson who is the son of the former great ULM QB and current Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson. Heck of an athlete.
I had an unofficial double-major in fermentation science and women's studies. I didn't receive any college credit, but spent plenty of time doing "research".

Better not, I stayed up until the end of the Iowa game - went to bed at 4 am (UK).
