You?re right. They aren?t. We are the favorite. It?s a toss-up but we have home field advantage.

I personally don?t think he should play even if he is cleared. The Miners offense invites injury especially to guys not intended to be running backs.
As I said in another post, I think Pickles showed a Tebowesque presence and ability that with a little preparation for the right passes could be very effective.

The past 12 years UTEP has had o line coaches for head coaches and we have to patch the o line. I can only shake my head. Of all of the positions after 12 years of running the ball into brick walls and Walden had to plug holes in the line. Am I just old and cranky/crazy or does that seem weird to anyone else? If the answer is that any good players leave and go somewhere else. If that is the case we are just a funnel. The only way to not continue to just be a funnel is to be higher in the funneling order. What can make UTEP a better place to be? Higher level. Can you change the school or location? No. Besides, the school and location isn?t the problem. JVS isn?t a destination school, nor was utsa. But they hired coaches to make a statement that they were serious about winning and moving up the ladder. If we were too poor like we used for an excuse forty years ago it would be one thing. But that nonsense. We have shown that the sun bowl would be packed for a winner. The money is there for the making!

Let me guess. Local high school kids?
We are a borderline fcs program now, playing other borderline fcs teams. I hate it, but I am too old to be delusional. The worst part is that we are iffy against them. I don?t see talented players lining up to enter the portal to come play for an fcs coach at an bcs/fcs school that isn?t very good. I?m being kind. Look at the record as a player would. I hope the El Paso kids can step up to the challenge they will be faced with in the next few years.

Sis. I went to UTEP fb roster and looked at o linemen. You have to go see it. Like one senior a couple of these and a couple of these. Mostly local high school kids. I think there are two ap players. Out of nineteen.

My guess is that our an has passes a dozen times in practice. They hadn?t practiced with him in the position enough to trust him in a game still with in reach. The coaches didn?t want him to pass.
Now, I saw Tim Tebow. A powerful running back at the quarterback position because he can pass well enough to be a threat to pass on your ass if you just pack the box.
With a week of learning to make his reads, he is going to be a star. That?s right. You heard it here first. That kid played and was a star an at a Christian School. He knows ho to pass the ball, you watch and see. That kid is a football player. Your qb doesn?t plow linebackers with great joy without loving the physicality and domination of competition unless they are a fucking football player!
He wins our next game.

This game is a big game. Tech has always had our number because Skip Holtz was a damned good coach. They have faltered a bit since his departure. That is why we may have an opening. It will give the team a chance to see and show whether or not there is progress for sure or another dose of UTEP hope. I hope I am wrong and that the win was all it took to break the damn. After too many years of a much different reality I need more proof. I will have my fingers crossed that I am wrong again.

Just so you know, the Miners basketball won its exhibition game against a team in Chihuahua 111-62. Basketball is near.
