Texas opens as a 42 point favorite v UTEP

[bernorange 8348]

I'm not going to feel confident about a Horn victory until I hear Snacks' prognostication.

Like somebody said earlier, "U Take-Em Points." Clearly, we can cover; Herman just won't. He'll lay it off on, "Well, we have to get the younger guys some PT. With this covid thing, you never know when you'll have to play 'em." Then, if pressed, he'll have more explanatory coach-speak. But the truth is, running it up's just not in his DNA.

Our backups should be able to run it up on UTEP.

Just saw this game is on LHN...phuck....haven’t had to worry about LHN since I had season Tix...passed on them this year.  I’m a cord cutter, so how in the world do we watch this game...can’t go to a damn bar. 

 

I'm predicting bars will be allowed to reopen next week (i.e. after Labor Day).

Pretty much this. If our backups aren’t running it up on UTEP then I’d be concerned about how good our depth is. Even running base plays they should be able to.

Herman against the spread versus non P-5 opponents at Texas: 3-1, including beating SJSU 56-0, but don’t let facts get in the way of your narrative.

It’s UTEP.  As somebody else mentioned, if our backups aren’t running it up on them, we have a problem.  Herman can be as conservative a he wants to be in second half, our players are still going to score and UTEP isn’t going to be scoring.

Tailgate in the bed of your truck maybe?? 😁

 

[Mossyhorn 143]

What I want:

Texas win;

no injuries;

1st team defense gets 3 & outs on 1st three UTEP possessions; 

scores by offense, defense, ST, & backup QB;

penalties at a minimum, no PI’s or PF’s.  

In other words, cover the spread.

So there are no cashless transactions? 25% of the capacity, but more alcohol.

The line between my index finger and my ring finger.

Their starting tight end is kind of a badass... but nonetheless:

Anyone have a gauge on “market value” for tickets for this game? Prices on StubHub seem ridiculously high.

I’ve got 4 in 104 row 5, and have a conflict and can’t go. I guess 1/5 of the total cost is a legit starting point?

Whoever is back up QB better play the entire 4th, and hopefully half the 3rd.  In fact if Sam doesn't play one series in the 3rd then sit I'll be pissed. All I'm saying.  

Agreed. Casey Thompson should get plenty of playing time against UTEP. Wouldn't be surprised in the 4th if they also give some rotations to Hudson Card and Ja'Quinden Jackson.

Opposite.  Yes cashless.  The X is on the cash icon.

That graphic could use some work. It fooled me too.

I don't know. Is Texas playing them or is ISU now taking our place?

West Virginia is the best team I’ve seen all day. If these games are any indication we are going to look rusty.
 

I hope we come out and stomp a mudhole in their ass.

Well, the team West Virginia beat got stomped by Marshall last week 50+ to 0.

[HRSchenker 2259]

UTEP +43.5 is looking really tempting right now. I mean I know we're not Kansas State or Iowa State but goddamn this is only week 1. I wanna see us hang 70 on these fucks

Seems like it's been forever, but it's Game Day. Hook'Em Horn's!

Every offense has been a cluster today im

That’s pretty cool. I hope you won’t be offended if I try to copy that.

Yeah, SMU struggling with Texas State last weekend was our first sign. Offenses are just not in sync yet due to the interrupted offseason. Hopefully for us, a scrimmage against UTEP and then 2 more weeks to practice before Tech will help get our offense on track.

Not at all. Let me know if you have any questions, I'm happy to offer any advice.

Hook'Em

Anyone know if lhn will reair the game later tonight after the postgame show?  I have no way to record it and would prefer watching the stars game live.
