I think we'll split the final four games but how it's going to go is anyone's game.

For the record, I think we squeak by UTSA and roll on of the Florida teams.

Then we'll play UTEP close before they pull away and the other Florida team will squeak by us.

UTSA ...maybe. Those other teams will beat us by 14+ a piece

For the sake of my mental health, I have counted no more wins this season. This way, any wins we may get will be uplifting and exceeding expectations. My life is just better this way.

Same here. Any win at this point counts as a positive suprise.

Those were the good old days on the border. Brother went to school there and ha many fun times in the sun bowl. That was when NMSU and Utep were both good and there were over 51,000 in the sun bowl. Good times and good win by the Miners. Now they are smelling a bowl game. I think we go beat them for some reason. Pass the tequila.

Yes. I'm counting on it as a win - for UTEP!

Too bad Juarez isn't safe to visit any longer. It would give at least some incentive to go out there.

Carlsbad Caverns?

I was actually think of just a little further south of Carlsbad, that being McKittrick Canyon in the Guadalupe Mountains of Texas.

I'll still be in El Paso regardless of how we're looking. Can't say I'm overly optimistic at the moment though.

If we lose, get a to go double order of tacos at Chico's on Montana, then take it to Twinz and order a shot and a bucket of beer. You won't live through the night, and your misery will end quickly, but with a grin on your face.

Never back away from an opportunity to visit Carlsbad. Get past the initial walk over bat shit, and you're good to go!

My kids love it. Tempted to try and make it, but will fight a wife-battle to do it. She has a nephew at SFA and wants us to go visit him that weekend. Either way, there will be better scenery than around here, I suppose - trees or mountains, trees or mountains.

And, oddly enough, I love the drive to El Paso. Don't know why, but long drives out west have never bothered me.

I'm in the early stages of planning a long road trip in December. It looks like EP is a prime candidate for an overnight stopover. I was laughing that we've got this hotel booking thing as a company perk (meh, not earth shattering prices). I looked up rates in EP, and half of them were located in Juarez! Yeeeahhh... Let me get right on that!

Then again, I might keep going a few more miles into New Mexico that night so I can stop somewhere and engage in the never ending battle between chile colorado v. chile verde. Mmm... New Mexico.

Again, it's a shame what's happened to Juarez. When I was a kid, we lived in El Paso for a year. My dad would take us there a lot. He'd have lunch there, buy cigarettes, and whatnot. Cheap and safe. Friendly people. Good days, back then.

Crazy. Mexico ate itself a long time ago, though. America isn't too far behind it. Maybe a couple to three decades. Places like Detroit are already there.

I really miss going down into Juarez for the afternoon, picking up some chile verde burritos off the street (my god those were amazing), maybe throw down a couple losing bets on a couple dog races, throw back a couple XXs and another burrito. I am by geographic origin more familiar with similar activities in Tijuana (which also has gone to "don't go there ever" status) and its amazing tacos de pastor.

Dammit I miss Mexico.

Sounds like a plan. Beer and Mexican food are the two main things I'm now looking forward to on this trip seeing as this football season is going downhill fast.

Do not eat Chico's and most definitely don't go to Twinz. Both will kill you, the latter much faster and bloodier than the former.

      Respect to FAU for cutting their losses and having standards. I love to see actual accountability.

      Kevin Henry-Jennings: South Oak Cliff QB

      According to 24/7, Farrar committed to UNT on April 5, 2021 (offered on March 31, 2021) Still at Skyline High SMU offered Jennings on December 8, 2021 Preston Stone signed on Dec. 16, 2020 and enrolled on Jan. 21, 2021. Dallas Morning News Rhett Lashlee didn’t have any previous knowledge of Henry-Jennings when he was hired as the next head coach at SMU. In fact, when he and some other SMU coaches went to the regional final against Lovejoy on Dec. 4, they were there to look at other players. After the first quarter, Henry-Jennings had caught his attention. What stood out to Lashlee the most wasn’t Henry-Jennings’ athleticism — though he has plenty of it — but the way he threw the ball. Like NFL receivers at Robinson’s camp saw before the season, Lashlee saw someone who could make every throw, and do it with accurate touch. Henry-Jennings completed 18 of 25 passes for 250 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for two touchdowns, leading South Oak Cliff to the state semifinals for the first time since 1970. “All those things, seeing it in person, we just walked away thinking it made sense,” Lashlee said. Lashlee hopped on a FaceTime four days later and offered Henry-Jennings a scholarship. He visited SMU that weekend, committed on a Sunday and then signed with the Mustangs on Wednesday.
