Yeah but that was at home. I don't think we've ever beaten a P5 team on the road.

I still don't think the game being on the road makes it fair to say a fan has no objectivity if they thought the Miners would win. Against Arkansas? That's fair. Against Tech, not fair at all.

Okay, what If I said that anyone that thought we would beat Tech was overly optimistic? Would that be better?

Come on man, Do you actually know anyone that sincerely thought we would win that game?

Why, yes.

Wow. That surprises me. I mean UTEP had a good year last year but I didn't see anything that gave me any indication that they would be able to beat Tech. Perhaps they played them close last year but that was at home and with a different QB.

I figured hanging with Tech for three quarters would be nice.

Allen got hurt simply because Doughty made a bone headed decision and left him out to dry, god that hit still makes me cringe. It reminds me of footage I have seen of the Theisman injury =/.

Ya, UTEP fans are complaining that Coach Kugler overused Jones. It seemed like he was the Miner's only weapon. Even when he wasn't running the ball he was catching it.

Kugs was quoted as saying "If you have a thoroughbred race horse, you ride that horse." It's like the old saying, "If your only tool is a hammer, everything starts to look like a nail."

I don't agree that he was our only weapon but I could be wrong. We'll find out as the season progresses.

I am so glad that we at least try not to do that with Dixon.

If Jones is our only horse, then Kugler needs to be fired.

This made me laugh. :)

You must have been a mechanic in the Air Force. We used to say, "if it don't fit, use a bigger hammer."

Wow! I hadn't kept up with that. He was the perfect balance to Devon's power run game.
