Anyone know what the Texas/Texas Tech line opened at the stardust yesterday?

I am curious to know but can't find the opening number. What a insane line! 16.5 points???? Hell, the Texas/Colorado line closed at 16 and tech is 10x better then those chumps.. I have never seen a line that jumped out like that to me..Mark this one down boys, No way texas blows out tech by 17 plus!

Checked Vegas Insider and it looks like they opened it at 15.5

Thanks guys... I honestly think this line is off by 10 points and would not be shocked to see Tech beat them straight up. I think the bookmakers are wrong on this one.

Texas will score 40 without breaking a sweat. Tech will have to score nonstop to keep up. Should be a fun game.

Be careful ......Tech is ok, but look closely at their schedule. They are playing teams where they have the better athletes and scheme. ......But they don't have that advantage when they play Texas (or any other top notch school). They DO NOT have better athletes than Texas. Texas gets all the blue chip prospects (just like Oklahoma, Ohio St, Miami, and so on) .....Tech gets the left overs. Texas has the athletes to shut down that run and shoot stuff. They will score 17+ points on turnovers alone. The Texas offense will not be stopped. I see a score of 55-24........

Good points but i think tech has enough to stay with these guys. Nebraska has one of the better (if not top ten by the numbers) defenses and tech moved the ball all day on them up and down the field. We shall see but i love tech with all those points.
