How do you cancel your Miner All Access? It is not apparent from their screens.

Why is everyone surprised?

We all knew Peruna's Law was in effect for tonight several days ago.

So true. Could you imagine having to make that long, awful, boring drive back to Dallas after watching that awful excuse of a game?

I think you might have to call to cancel. I think that's how I had to do it that way one year.

We used to look down on Rice and TCU. Now we can't field a team remotely comparable to either. How much longer Oh Lord! How much longer!

I am horrified when our schedule has not been seeded with the likes of Purdue, Illinois, Ohio State, Air Force, Oklahoma State, Army....etc. In stead we are groveling with Texas State, NTSU, SFA and yes we used to laugh at Rice and TCU. Now they laugh at us. Pretty pathetic fall from our historical heritage.

All self inflicted, we cheated enough to warrant the death penalty, then over corrected the situation and set up an impossible atmosphere for 20 years.

Or maybe this feeling?

Yeah ANCIENT history. It's time to stop livin' in '82 with Uncle Rico. We haven't been good since years before anyone on the current team was even born. You've got to start somewhere and losing 70-0 to Ohio State and Texas isn't going to do us any good.

Until we can beat ANY division 1 bowl subdivision team, there is no point in scheduling good D1 teams.

I think you have to call them. That is what I did last time.

the espn box score shows demyron martin getting an interception. Didn't see/listen to the game. Was he in on D? It also shows Rock Dennis with 3 passing attempts. Really?

9:30 flight tomorrow morning. I came away from the game proud of our defense. Offense performed about as could be expected, what with the timing difficulties. Three things that could've made the game closer:

Bell instead of McElroy
Pick up the damn blocked punt and run it for a TD
yell "PETER!!!!!" at JW and the other guy and we get the ball on their 40

one other thing: the clock had run out before they called time at the end of the first half.

and one more thing: bad, bad, bad, bad, BAD penalty on Serge when he had a lapse in judgment and gave them a first down

Couldn't have said it any better. I don't understand why anyone would want to see us get completely plastered by an Ohio State or whoever when we get drilled by the likes of UTEP and friggin' Tulane.
