Will the Eastern Time Zone curse end at Charlotte?
- Thread starter FeralFelidae
- Start date
Charlotte giving up a whopping 253 rushing yards per game. Third worst in the NCAA. Given up 17 rushing TDs. Giving up over 306 passing yards per game. They are 96th in Total Offense. If we don't turn it over 7 times, we'll have a chance to win.

Looks like Life was right. Weather should be moved out and slightly cloudy with strong breeze. Sixty four degrees. Weather should not hamper the game plan. Many UTEP players are from Houston/Galveston, West coast, or North DFW metro area so the humidity should not hamper.

Those are some really big numbers. I'm curious to know if all those yards came late in games where the opposing offensive line wore them down due to their own offensive inefficiency or they are just that bad at stopping the run? And if UTEP can remain patient if the running game isn't effective early. Can they find those holes when Charlotte almost certainly loads the box? Or will they revert back to UNM and check out of runs and start chucking it down the field. I want to be optimistic but I've been burned too many times.
Yeah our running game has been super effective this year. Let’s really utilize it
Just put the right cleats on those linemen and RBs and smash them with the run game.
Really hoping the Miners can get the win at Charlotte... I just hope, we don't get the pass happy UTEP. If so, they probably lose, and lose big. This is a scary game, it will probably dictate where the season heads... a loss, and they probably don't go bowling. A win, and who the hell knows?
Meanwhile plans have been landing all day and departing all day from CLT Airport and 22 mph winds as of 2021 EST
It was ugly, stupid, ridiculous, and embarrassing at times but it was a win in the eastern time zone and I am happy. Go Miners!
I believe the first east coast loss was against Xavier in 1963. So the streak was 59 years long.
Since it had never happened, technically it began when the first pinpoint of matter exploded into being. So 13.7 billion years, give or take a year or 2.
1949 was the tie at West Virginia. We lost at Cincinnati in 1950, so that would probably be the first east coast loss.

EPTimes.com Bloomquist was spot on with this comment:
"UTEP is always going to make everything harder than it has to be....".

Since were re-writing history this year, Dimel should schedule the Ft. Bliss all-stars to avenge the two losses from 1919 and 1921 and the 0-2 all-time record.
Seriously though, I am glad the Eastern Time zone thing is over, was too drunk to properly comment about it on Saturday.

North Carolina is south of the Mason-Dixon Line (by quite a bit) and is on the East Coast. It has about the same latitude as Oklahoma.
"UTEP K Gavin Baechle was named C-USA Special Teams Player of the Week for the second time this season after scoring a season-high 11 points in the win at Charlotte on Saturday....Baechle scored a season-high 11 points (5-5 PATs, 2-2 FG) in UTEP's 41-35 win at Charlotte on Saturday. Baechle extended his streak to 11 consecutive made field goals after hitting on a 22-yard make that gave the Miners a 10-7 edge in the first quarter, while hitting a 29-yarder late in the third that pushed UTEP's lead to 34-21. Baechle is now 11-for-12 on field goals on the season. He leads Conference USA in made field goals (11), attempts (12) and FGM/game (1.8). Nationally, Baechle ranks third in field goals made and is tied eighth in field goals made/per game. Baechle's efforts helped UTEP win its first league game of 2022, while also ending its dreaded winless streak in the eastern time zone (1-26-1)."https://conferenceusa.com/news/2022/10/3/football-fb-oct-3-players-of-the-week.aspx
Education has really gone down since I was a kid.
"Southern separatism in defense of slavery culminated in 1860–61, when 11 Southern states (South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, North Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee) seceded from the Union and formed the Confederate States of America."

I know you're trolling, but North Carolina is south of Virginia. Virginia is usually considered part of the South.

You're moving the goalposts. You said southeast, not Deep South.
UTEP has beaten teams in the Deep South, if that's what you're talking about now.
North Carolina is not southeast. If it was South East why isnt Duke and UNC in the SEC?? 🤔🤔🤔
The U.S. Geological Survey considers the Southeast region to be the states of Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee, plus Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands.
The ACC is in the Southeast U.S., from Florida to Virginia, and Notre Dame in Inidana.
Missouri is in the SEC. North Carolina is more south and east than Missouri.
Speaking of the education going south in this country, a young punk asked my brother if he was a Yankee for talking about the Army of Northern Virginia, led by General Robert E. Lee. I'm glad things are so slow on this site that we can piss on each other over directions on a compass or sections on a map. The Miners must have won their last two games. What do ya think?
