Early in the year I considered going, just to see family. But my yearly golf outing got scheduled for this weekend. And I'm glad it did.

UTSA favored by three TDs in the early going.

I thought you were kidding... jesus. we are 21.5 underdogs to a team that didn't play FBS football 5 years ago.

Welcome to the new normal.

Ditto.
Earlier, I had this game penciled in for a road trip and pleasant weekend in SA. Now I've (easily) found some other things to do.
If there's a way to watch it with streaming, etc I might watch.
50/50

This is always one of the games we go to for a couple of reasons - closer distance and the fact that my wife is a UTSA alum. However, given how our season has turned out thus far, I don't think we will be making the four hour trip to San Antonio. I'll hope for the best, and root from afar.

Let me know if yall find a stream, I wont be making the trip to SA

I was never going to this game.

I had been to all the SWC stadiums, Alamodome and New Orleans Dome. Also, I saw a UH game in the soccer stadium just to see the soccer stadium.

We hold them under the spread. But can we outscore them? Yes. Rice 21, United States Tennis Association 15.

Score by quarters:
(6-0,6-4,2-6,7-5)

This is The MOB's road trip for the '17 season, so we'll be there.
However, in the fashion of its much larger cousin, UTSA has both made the Rice game their homecoming, and scheduled homecoming half time events that preclude a MOB show.

We found out about the lack of performance time yesterday.

...sigh...

We might be able to beat the United States Tennis Association. Too bad for us we're playing an actual football team. UTSA 42-Rice 6. This team packed it in the second half of last season. That's one of the many reasons why Bailiff should have been terminated.

I'll be there in a suite with mostly UTSA fans. So sorry about the MOB....

Returning against UTSA: QB @SamGlaes12, RB @SamuellStewartt, G Ken Thompson, CB @Dangelo_Ellis, K @WillHarrison_25 & WR @camcam1093

Glaesmann will start while Miklo Smalls has been promoted to the #2 QB. Bailiff said expect to see Smalls more t/o the rest of the season.

Jackson Tyner will still see time. Bailiff said the offense will employ him in a number of ways (i.e. tight end) in the coming weeks.

Does this bring back horror memories of the QB by committee approach from years past?

That said, its not physically possible to be worse than we are now, so maybe the heyday of QB-by-committee may be a step up.

Line down to 20 points.

Actually, no. Instead of three #1s, we seem to have a clear 1, 2, 3. Looks like the plan is to give Smalls more time and experience to prep him for the future. Isn't this what we have been begging for?

I thought Ellis was out for the season.

Other than the Cleveland Browns, I literally cannot think of another example where the depth chart is less clear. Sure we have a 1,2,3 for this week but lord knows what it will be next.

You have a 1,2,3 where your 2 doesn't play unless your 1 gets hurt or the game is way out of reach. Your 3 doesn't play unless your 2 gets hurt. If we wanted to give Smalls practice and training, we could have played him as a garbage time QB for Stanford, Pitt, UTEP or the entire second half for UH.

We've been begging for a cohesive development plan - not week by week shuffling of the depth chart. I literally have no idea what we are doing now. If Smalls was our #3 and the plan was to not play him barring injury, then why did we start him against Army? Shouldn't he have been the backup? That begs the question of what are we doing in practice?

Given that Hue Jackson will probably be fired in the near future, I think Cleveland is a perfect landing spot for Bailiff. Its a match of questionable roster moves and depth charts made in heaven.

C'mon, now. At the time we played Stanford, Pitt, et al, the plan was obviously to redshirt Smalls. Then Glaesman got hurt, Tyner was not effective, and the need became so great the plan changed. Now the redshirt has been burned, and they are doing this year what they planned for next year - working him in, giving him some experience. Why is your assumption that it was always planned to use Smalls this year? I thought one of the knocks on Bailiff was that he didn't adjust to changing situations. Well, he seems to be trying to adjust to this one.

Clearly Glaesman will start, and Smalls will see some time. Tyner will be the #3 and may see some action along the way as they ease him into a new role, as TE. Not at all what we had in 2009. Now if they start alternating series within the threesome, I will retract my statement.
