I like the value of this play. Texas is listed as (-250) at most shops to advance to the Championship game. They are in a (4 team) bracket along with Arizona, Georgia, and Arkansas. This is by far the weakest of the 2 brackets, with 2 losses needed to send a team packing.

The other 4 team bracket is wide open. I could make an argument for almost every team. Miami, South Carolina, Cal St Fullerton, and LSU will battle to see who draws Texas in the Chamionship. Of course, I would love to see my beloved Gamecocks get another shot at Texas, after losing to them in the 2002 Championship game. Not sure if they can get there, but if they do, I will make the trip to Omaha next Saturday.....

If Texas makes the Championship game, they will likely be favored over any team they face. This could create a "sell back" opportunity worth a look. For now, I am playing:

This play is available at +300 for those with accounts @ sportsbook.com.

I will leave it as +270 and a pending play on my record, as that was the best odds I had seen at the time I made the play.

Hook 'em Horns!

Texas (2-0) will face Georgia (2-1) starting Wednesday.

GA must beat TX twice to send the Horns home. Winner of this battle will play for the Championship game Saturday.....

Pretty nice dog call in a decent size event. Nice payday when it hits. Good luck!

2* Loser on Texas to win it all.

They made it (easily) to the Championship series, but lost 0-2 to Cal State Fullerton.

Congrats to the young men from Fullerton.....
