10/16 @UTEP Game

[HogDawg]

Even our former Rock Star is ragging us:

“ To Utep? Dang bruh… 臘*♂️”

.....It's the smartest thing J'Mar ever said.

Coach O is available at the end of this season

There is ONE measure of hope....

It looks like a major embarrassment looms. UTSA has the tools to beat the crap out of us. I know they think so. Sincere will have his way with our "oops! I can't tackle" defense, and their defense, (their DC) is already scheming for their NEXT opponent...they have Skippy pegged, as does everyone else.

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 think maybe there is the slightest bit more offense, but I like that margin. I'll go Tech 45 UTEP 24.

I was wrong.

I forgot that Holtz was in charge of the team. I’m still in shock that we lost to UTEP, and that’s worse than losing to ULM.

OK, let's not get ahead of ourselves ...

Skip gets the least out of the most talent than any other coach I've ever seen -

Been so since his first year on campus - for the next 6 years the talent was able to overcome his shortcomings for the most part -

The last two years the talent level has fallen off and his coaching has shown through - it's as simple as that

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

[Champ967]

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.

I hope everybody enjoys the shit show in Ruston this weekend.

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.

[FriscoDawg]

Thanks for the info. I never heard mention of this on Fletcher’s show so I figured he was dodging after blowing that huge lead and decided to keep it going.

Skippy is on The Company at 5:00 today.

After UTEP drained 6 minutes in the opening drive and we went 3 and out, I told some friends it was over. Even with the turnovers, the defense had to give the ball back to our unprepared offense. I saw better blocking at my nephews peewee game 2 weeks ago. Our entire sideline looked like they were at a funeral.

I really wish they could beat us this year, because that’s the only thing I can think of that might get Skip fired. If he stays another 3 years, this program will be the same caliber of program as ULM. He’s a cancer that must be removed, and soon if we want to save this program.
