Kendall threw it right to the defender on final interception. Odd as hell.

Kendall threw it right to the defender on final interception. Odd as hell.
Kendall just dumped 10 gallons of gas on the dumpster fire. These commentators keep saying we are a good team. Did they watch the game?
Threw a couple weak ones tonight.Quote:

We found a qb ….. that is human!
How many times does Holtz make comments about how good UTEP is this year in the press conference?
Does he take the blame or pass the blame to the offensive line?
Does he have any player talk or none?
Chances the coaches show is canceled this week?
Chance that the radio sunshine pumpers talk about the positives and completely disregard the coach problem?
Worse effort of the year.
Well Skip got his conference WTF cost us the Western Division, out of the way. Now he can relax and game plan to get 6 wins and keep the people supporting him happy with a trip to the Mr. Clean Toilet Bowl in Cottonwood Falls Kansas.
I feel bad for the people who actually thought Holtz would coach the Dawgs to 7 straight wins and a conference championship showing. I think we can quit all the hoping at this point and just accept that Holtz is a terrible coach and a football program killer. He’s finally made us worse than ULM. Let that sink in!
Arm motion wasn't the same as two weeks ago.Quote:

Well you have to think we lose to UAB and UTSA, that's 6 losses. Will have to win the rest to get to 6 wins. Let's hope basketball season goes better.Quote:

I fully expect those two as losses as well. Charlotte or Rice might get us as well.Quote:

This was planned preseason on The Company. Probably for The Edge too. But Skippy made it seem like he would be appearing on both at least one more time.Quote:

I only watched the first half. Seems like our D came around in the 2nd half and actually played a decent game. There's no excuse for our poor offensive production. From what I watched, our tackles continued to be a liability. We rushed for less than 100 yards despite the fact that Williams was averaging 6 ypc. I didn't see the INTs, but 14/28 for 164 yards and 3 INTs is abysmal.
Perhaps this was our WTF game...I don't know. UTEP looked bad when I watched them, but they've got 6 wins now. I've defended the coaching in the first 5 games, but the end of the NC State game and the UTEP game make me think that, regrettably, Dwayne may be right about this season. If he is, it's time to move on.
In the meantime, I'm gonna watch the MLB playoffs and the Saints.
I’m hoping UTEP can find a way to win CUSA. I know they wont, but I hope they do. That would be the ultimate slap in the face to the Holtz fan boys when one of the worst teams in the history of college football can manage to win the conference, but Holtz can’t.
Coach speak. He can’t coach better because he’s a lousy coach.Quote:

LMAO at posters that predicted a 3-TD victory.
The Holtz lovers have a dilemma. On the one hand they say we have all this talent, yet we’re 2-4 with a bad loss to a crappy UTEP team.
He is light years better than what we have. Last night makes you wonder how he ever started at WVU. Not sure what was going on with him last night, but he needs to get back to how he was playing or h/c next week will get ugly. UTSA is way better than UTEP.Quote:

They can't and they won't. They honestly aren't allowed to ask tough questions. Money donors don't like it.. they are also the business owners who buy advertisements on the radio as well..Quote:

I don't even bother predicting Tech football anymore. You literally NEVER know what you're going to get. Credit to UTEP's defense too...they caused a safety and kept us out of the end zone all night.
If Tech plays like this at ODU again, It will be another loss, and an all-time low in Louisiana Tech Athletics history.Quote:

This game was a carbon copy of the embarrassing 38-3 loss to Georgia Southern in the NO Bowl last December. That team didn't look prepared either, but had a different QB.Quote:

It’s not Rice per se, it all teams Tech should beat. I haven’t felt comfortable we were going to win any particular game in the last 4-5 seasons until the games were in hand because Skip always has a WTF game or two. I used Rice because we are on a 5 or 6 game win streak against them. So now that skip is Dana Dimels B*tch (11-28 at UTEP and 41-67 overall), he can add Mike Bloomgren to his list of CUSA daddies. I had to look him up, didn’t even know he was the head guy at Rice, but it’s his first headcoaching job and he is 9-27 overall. Time for him to spank Skip as well.Quote:

But!
and here it is. Taking a page from our eternal optimist, Champion, I am reminded that at least twice in recent years it appeared Skippy's Bunch was heading for a train wreck, vs. WKU and vs. UAB, and instead pulled out a win! So, if you are so inclined, hold onto that sliver of hope.
Go Dawgs!
I was wrong.Quote:

I'm glad I was busy doing something else this weekend instead of Tech football
Hell I might chose to bushhog next Saturday that's how put out I am with this mess
Among the 6 teams the Miners have beat so far, there are 2 FBS wins amongst them. Tech's only FBS win was over UNT (who has no FBS wins). And New Mexico's only FBS win was over NMSU (who also has no FBS wins).
But give some credit to UTEP. When they play bad teams, they win.
I think ULM would beat tech this year. Not even close.
I don't even care anymore. Skippy's already screwed up the 2021 season, so any good things that happen now won't really matter. After losing to UTEP, Tech is now in the position of "playing chase" in conference again. And we know how that has worked out for us.Quote:

I know it's been said over and over, but our team simply wasn't prepared to play the game. Seemed to me like they felt like they could basically roll the ball out there and beat UTEP. That's not on the players, that's on the coach. There's really no way to spin it imo.
Skippy is on The Company at 5:00 today.Quote:

For a minute I thought this was going to be an inside the huddle snippet of Holtz actually coaching, but then I thought and realized there’s no such thing, haha.
