Well gentlemen, its time for another season of college football. Nothing really beats the anticipation we go through each spring/summer awaiting the return of our sport. Its been a great summer so far of capping here at CTG. I want to thank everyone who has been involved in the forum in the dog days. The list is too long but guys like lindetrain, garfather, vegaskyle, yessir, jump, hunt, etg, dmoney, signacaller, RJ....the list goes on. Great job. Preperation is what will make us winners by season end. I cannot stress that enough. There is still lots of work to do but fortunately we have the time and talent to get it done.
About myself, I basically play straight plays. I do not do dips/teasers and the only parlays I will look at are very small ML paralys early in the year. I usually just tail Hunt on those and don't even post them. I am not a huge fan of totals but will do present some here and there. The landscape has changed again this season with the clock rules back like 2005. We will have to readjust our capping again but it is for the best. My strengths are my big plays. In the regular season last year I did not lose a single big play of 5 units. I am pretty proud of that fact and intend to keep on it again this year. My goal this year is to eliminate the needless plays. Its tough with big boards but I think I have a pretty good gameplan for this fall. Plays will range from 1-5 units in college football. I will also readjust how much each unit is worth after each 4 weeks that way the units are not on a sliding scale. I don't recommend my style of betting for everyone. It works for me. Flat betting works for others. Thats life. Thats about it..lets go win some money.
Tulsa at UL-Monroe
Lets take a quick look at the Warhawks first. I know this is a team that many of us have targeted as a team to look at this season. Seventeen starters return to a squad that went 4-8 last season. The two bad losses were to SEC teams(Alabama and Arkansas). Their other six losses were by a combined 21 points. They were competitive and finished off the season with two nice wins. Everyone is back on offense basically and I think the offense will only get better. Theye avereaged over 30 ppg their last four games. The defense has six starters back and allowed under 350 ppg and just 22 points. Figure that the three SEC teams they played each hit 40 and thats not too bad whatsoever. The secondary is the weakest part but the front 7 is deep and experienced which should take a lot of pressure off the backfield.
Tulsa has a new coach and a new attack. To read more about it you can vist RJ's thread here..

Paul Smith is an excellent QB but his top two receivers are gone. So not only must they learn a new system but they are inexperienced as well for the most part. The offensive line is green as well and not that deep. With the new attack I would worry about fatigue early. On the other side of the ball Tulsa had a very good defese last year. They eturn half of the unit and will see a slight downgrade this year.
Tulsa won their games against mediocre competiton easily last year. Teams that I would consider on ULM's level for this yearTulsa was very inconsistent against. I expect Tulsa to improve each week with the new system. Week one though I believe they will struggle. ULM at home will move the ball enough and should have success against the green Tulsa O-Line. The early money is all over ULM and when taking a dog at this number you have to expect an outright win. I expect a close, hard fought warhawk win.
UL-Monroe +5.5 -110 1 unit
Thoughts, questions..leave them..and best of luck.
