11/13/10 College Football Plays of the Day: WV and Okie St.

Two great plays today to go along with my Boise St. winner last night.

The first has to be West Virginia.

The Mountaineers are favored by 5 over the Bearcats of Cincinnati, and they still have a chance to win the Big East.  (Whatever that means) WV is also 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games following a bye week.

Take West Virginia with an easy win.

The second pick today is Oklahoma State.

Oklahoma State is having a great season at 8-1.  Who would've thought Texas would be 4-5 at this point with losses to Iowa State, UCLA, and Baylor?  Isn't Texas supposed to own the Big XII?

The trends say Okie St. is 6-1 ATS in their last seven games, and 5-1-1 ATS in their last seven road games.  Texas keeps getting worse and worse each week.  Oklahoma St is giving 5 on the road, it won't matter.  Take the Oklahoma State Cowboys!

No late night Hawaii game tonight, so these are your two picks.  Go make some money!

Tropical Storm Hermine Brings Rain and Lots of it to Texas

Tropical Storm Hermine crossed the Rio Grande River into south Texas with high winds and heavy rain after making landfall in northeastern Mexico hours earlier, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said.

The storm was about 65 miles southwest of Corpus Christi, Texas, at 4 a.m Tuesday morning.

Hermine’s sustained winds dropped to 50 miles per hour from near hurricane-force when it crossed the coast about 40 miles south of Brownsville. The rain-laden storm is expected to weaken further as it moves from Texas northward into Oklahoma over the next day or so, the center said.

Hermine, the eighth named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season, may bring as much as 8 inches of rain to northeastern Mexico and southern Texas with isolated areas getting as much as a foot of precipitation.

Tropical Storm Hermine in the Gulf

Tropical Storm Hermine is getting a little stronger in the Gulf of Mexico as it heads toward the coasts of Texas and Mexico.

A tropical storm warning was issued early Monday for the southern Texas coast. A tropical storm warning was already in effect for the coast of Mexico from Tampico to the mouth of the Rio Grande.

Hermine's maximum sustained winds have increased to near 45 mph mark.

Heavy rain is predicted with northeastern Mexico into south Texas getting 4 to 8 inches with as much as a foot in some places. It could cause flash floods and mudslides.

The storm is located about 280 miles south-southeast of Brownsville, Texas, and is moving north near 10 mph.
