Air Force tabs Calhoun to replace DeBerry

NCAA Football Betting Lines

12/23/2006 - Colorado Springs, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Air Force Academy hired Troy Calhoun as its new head football coach a little more than a week after Fisher DeBerry retired.

Calhoun, who is finishing his first season as the Houston Texans offensive coordinator/quarterback coach, returns to the school from where he graduated in 1989.

Head coach Gary Kubiak brought Calhoun with him from Denver when he became Houston's head coach last year.

Calhoun worked closely with Denver head coach Mike Shanahan in 2005 when he was assistant to the head coach. The Broncos won the AFC West for the 10th time in franchise history.

The offense ranked fifth in the league with 360.4 yards per game, while the defense gave up only 85.2 yards per game on the ground, which ranked second in the NFL.

He became a well-rounded NFL coach with Denver, working as a defensive assistant (2003) before becoming the offensive assistant/special teams coach (2004).

While with the Broncos, Calhoun's teams made the playoffs each year, averaging 11 win per season.

Calhoun, who was the freshman quarterback for the 1985 Falcons that finished fifth in the polls and was 12-1, began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Air Force from 1989-90.

In 1995 he was the quarterbacks coach for Ohio and then spent the next three years as the offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach before taking the same position as Wake Forest.

DeBerry, 68, had been at the academy for 27 seasons, spending the last 23 as head coach. His teams posted a 169-107-1 mark overall, recording 17 winning seasons, before falling upon tough times recently.

The Falcons, who went just 4-8 this year (3-5 Mountain West), have had three straight losing campaigns, marking the first time that has happened at Air Force since 1979-81.

Stanley Cup betting

New York, NY – October 3, 2007 – The dress rehearsal is over! The NHL preseason has ended and now that fans have had a glimpse of what is to come it is time to hit the book! Stanley Cup odds are live at MySportsbook.com, the world’s largest online sportsbook and casino.

The Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings remain on top of the odds charts after an impressive start in the preseason. Betting lines opened for both teams at 6-1 in June. Since then the Sens have fallen to 7-1 and the Red Wings are now caught in a pack including the defending champion Carolina Hurricanes, the San Jose Sharks and the Anaheim Ducks, all at 10-1.

MySportsbook.com has also posted props on each team’s point total for the regular season. The Senators lead the charge at 108.5 followed by the Ducks at 106.5. Detroit will attempt a repeat for the prize as the Red Wings are deadlocked with the Predators at 104.5 a piece. The temporary loss of highly touted rookie Evgeni Malkin puts a lot of pressure on the stick of assistant captain Sidney Crosby - his lowly Pittsburgh Penguins are listed at 71.5.

Even if bettors are not brave enough to put their money on the underdog, an early bet on the favorites at sportsbook.com tends to produce bigger payouts than a mid-season wager. Placing a $1,000 bet last summer on the Detroit Red Wings or Ottawa Senators would have paid out to $8,000 and $10,000 respectively, opposed to a $2,500 or $3,000 payout at the beginning of the playoffs.
