UTEP @ Sam Houston State Game Thread

[Roy_Bigwood_05]

My betting numbers are right on with Vegas has.

SH’s defense isn’t terrible, UTEP’s offense is terrible.

My betting numbers: SH 21 UTEP 17 but wouldn’t be surprised if UTEP wins this out right. Might actually be a good 4th quarter of drama.

I have seen SHSU defense and yes, it is not bad at all. In the two to three games I saw they were just out on the field too long and tuckered out.

But this is year six of Dimel; we've seen enough. I want the players to win but he doesn't set them up to win. I do see UTEP coming out and perhaps getting two quick scores, but Dimel can't stand success. SHSU "gets off the Schneid" showing no mercy in the second half against a reeling Miner team.

UTEP 17
SHSU 35

 

[NeptunianEmp]

Let’s be consistent at least. SHSU has been to OT during all their home conference games so:
OT
SHSU 20
UTEP 17

 

[utep2step]

Wow, SH I think was the wrong pick for CUSUA they weren't ready. Jacksonville St. has proved it was a good pick both quality of the team they put on the field and attendance. This all makes it even worse if Utep loses tonight.

SHSU studs that won the FCS are gone. They are in rebuild but will be back on top chasing Liberty and WKU in the future. KC Keeler is to good a mid major coach (who UTEP passed up prior). You don't have free agency and the covid players are in their last year in D1 with their extra year.

Keeler > Kill.

Keeler has won a title.

 

[JCorona]

SHSU 17
UTEP 14

Keeler > Kill.

You’ve gone full troll mode. Kill > Keeler > Dimel

Dimel does not belong anywhere in that equation. 🤣

It's not an equation. It's an inequality.

So did some digging and talked to a Booster close to Utep and this name was thrown out there. Jason Simpson UT Martin HC for the last 17 years. Was told his name has been suggested for Senter to look into at the end of the season if and most likely when Dimel is fired after a losing season.

 

[NoNCAAWinsSince1992]

I think the Miners will win. They will probably lose though. Local media hoping they do so they can push their win out agenda!

No thanks. He’s 52 and has a solid job in his part of the country.

Need someone who is like 32 and is black.

The win out Agenda will come to an abrupt hult against W. Kentucky regardless

Just threw out a name that was mentioned, not that I like or dislike it. He has been successful though.

 

[MineroFanatico]

Keeler > Kill.

Keeler has won a title.

I’d take either one over the derpfvck we have right now, however you cray.

Craig Bohl won 3 fcs nattys in a row and ended up at Wyoming. Keeler is good, but to put it into perspective, he’s not even Craig Bohl good…who is not Jerry Kill good.

Kill turned Northern Illinois around in very short order. Took over a lowly Big 10 school and improved Minnesota from year to year until he got sick. Next took over one of the worst programs in America and has since turned that program around. No contest.

WKU isn’t any good. It’s possible UTEP beats them. Only if UTEP wins tonight or cans Dimel before the WKU game.

Keep that name to yourself. Entz will be a name thrown around. 😂

He can be purple for all I care if he wins games.

Same, but we’ve had enough “old” white guys here.

 

[UTEPMiners8106]

I agree that we need a younger guy here. I’m in my early 40s and I feel so out of touch talking to someone in their early 20s. I can only imagine some guy in their 50s or 60s.

 

[Firstdowndash]

Can we get McNamara in there to see what he’s got?

 

[MinerManiac]

Well that possession sucked

 

[Lil_Train]

Can we get McNamara in there to see what he’s got?

He's still out.

 

[NeptunianEmp]

The defense is sucking badly right now.

 

[MinerManiac]

This might be a long night

 

[picks up]

I don't even know why I put myself through this anymore. Why am I still watch?

 

[Firstdowndash]

Wow. Worst team in the land at running the ball and they run up UTEP’s throat.

 

[UTEPMiners8106]

This defense went from being the strength of the team to being absolutely pathetic.

 

[miner1liner]

This might be a long night

I think every game has been . looooooong

 

[miner1liner]

Wow. Worst team in the land at running the ball and they run up UTEP’s throat.

Why do I watch these fiascos

 

[TxRdKiller]

Let’s relax, fellas. Early struggles. We have yet to win a game as we transition from FCS to FBS.

Oh, wait…

 

[MinerManiac]

Can we just scrap that stupid bunch formation?

 

[NoNCAAWinsSince1992]

Can we just scrap that stupid bunch formation?

At least we used a timeout here. Won’t need em next quarter!

 

[T-6 Miner]

Can we just scrap that stupid bunch formation?

Stupid play that never works.

 

[MinerManiac]

And why am I not surprised that we just burned a tineout?

 

[develman]

**** Yeah, this is UTEP football!

 

[Miner_Tavo]

Waste of a down and then waste a timeout right after to top it all off.

 

[Rot]

That stupid play never works. I‘m sure our success rate on that play is around 5%.

 

[NoNCAAWinsSince1992]

Just had a guy quit. Super cool!

Oh, wait…

FBS to FCS? 😉
