Houston-UTSA game postponed/cancelled

Houston-UTSA game postponed/cancelled

Damn! That was one of the most intriguing G5 matchups of the season. UTSA was expecting a near capacity crowd. It's going to be hard to reschedule that game. Tough break for the birds.

Yep. Was looking forward to it. Only way it gets played is if neither team makes their conference championship. It'll get played that weekend if neither does make it.

Well UTSA will be available that weekend. UTEP will make sure of that. They ain't leaving El Paso with a W this year.

What about three or four NFL games once the season starts my man?

I'm down to throw in a couple of key NFL matchups. Of course every game the Cowboys play in is key so expect to see them a lot on the ballot.

You need to throw in the Raiders and Green Bay for obvious reasons.

GO Miners..

8106, looks like you and I are the only ones calling the upset in the big game this weekend. May the force be with us!

 

[JCorona]

I see a majority is picking Alabama A&M over UAB. I hope you guys are right. Their fans need some humble pie. They pissed me off over on the CUSA board. Saying we are going to be an automatic win for them.

 

[UTEPMiners8106]

I have to go out on a limb since I made my picks late.

 

[JCorona]

I'm currently driving north on I35 headed to Norman. There might not be any updates today. As of now standings updated to reflect yesterday's results.

 

[FarWestTexas]

Hope you find gas on 35, good luck!

 

[JCorona]

One more game to go. Regardless of the result Miners1991 will be the week 1 champion and overall leader.

 

[JCorona]

Week 1 is in the books. The winner for the week is Miners1991 going 14-3. Miner1liner finished in second at 12-3 and could have tied for 1st place but missed out on the early games. I could have made a big jump in the standings but Tennessee blocked the game winning field goal then stopped the game winning 2 point conversion. I was pissed.

The games for this upcoming week will be posted on a new thread as soon as the updated AP top 25 is released.
