After wasting my time, energy and money this past weekend, I've cancelled my trip to San Antonio. I'll just watch it on ESPN+. At least this way if I get bored again, I can just turn it off and go find something else to do.

Of course, I'm only referring to the game itself. Obviously, it was great seeing PD, Rhino, DFM, NadB (and wife), Dowty, etc...and so many other great BB&B bros before & during the game. You guys were GREAT!, and kept the entire trip from being a bust.

Was looking forward to meeting you. Unfortunately unexpected obligations appeared. I did watch the debacle on ESPNU, I think it was. Planning on going v UTEP. I was confident we would win and cover today, which we did. I also was confident in the UAB game.

So if UNT was to beat CUAB next weekend, how do they determine the tie breaker?

that was a bad team we beat tonight.....and our O looks so pained and restricted....no flow, no nothing...

That was one of the most lame college football environments I have experienced, by the way... on par with ULM. They did have some hideously overpriced craft beer and some decent sliders to eat.

Anybody that can't see that Holtz has lost this team is blind. Every player and assistant coach on the team can see that Holtz is simply going through the motions. His heart just isn't into coaching anymore, and I totally understand that. I can't blame him for cashing the checks as long as he can. Apathy sets in on almost everybody at some point (President Trump being the most notable exception). I know several people in their 50's and early 60's suffering from the same thing.

This being said, UTSA will destroy Tech today. This Tech team has quit. Who can blame them.

As I was saying..............

At this pt we have a chance to go 9-3 but I expect 7-5 finish. However nothing would surprise me not even 5-6 but 6-6, 7-5 is more likely.

Positives: Defense did its job against a weak offense.
JMAR played a solid game.
Great to see Veal more involved in offense.
Our coverage teams were solid.
All of our remaining games are winable except State

Negatives: We still have no running game which is why it’s hard to confidently expect this team to win 8-9 games.
No running game means we must have 300-400 passing per game (yikes)
Our return teams are still completely ineffective.

Our return teams have been terrible ever since Holtz has been coach. What will it take for us to establish just average special teams play?

Fair Catch Teddy still does not have any punt returns this season. I believe coach has told him to only do fair catches. You can sometimes see his frustration when he realizes he could have had a big gain.

I don’t think coach trusts anyone else back there and doesn’t want Veal to get injured.

I’d love to see Smoke back there making plays.

That’s the dumbest strategy I’ve ever heard of.
