WT Football

Thanks!

Clean bill of health. 2nd heart catheter in 3 years. Both times my cardiologist says the stress test was a false positive. clear arteries, strong heart muscle.

But....4 years ago he found a 90% blockage, when I had no symptoms, and put in a stent. Had a real heart attack back in 2017, and got a stent back then.

Glad you are okay!

WT has definitely improved especially on offense and the defense seemed to play better the last quarter against Mines.

I dont think its improved enough to win any of the games against the top 3.

Amazing how not recovering that on side kick in Odessa 2 years ago have sent both programs in completely opposite directions.

I don't think 1 play in a game made any difference. McBroom just couldn't hire a good football coach.

Best of luck with that!

I’m wondering if WT can stop WNMU’s passing attack. Before the season I thought the New Mexico teams and Sul Ross would be sure wins, but now I’m not sure who to pick for Saturday’s game.

WNMU can certainly throw the ball, but they couldn’t stop anything NM Highlands could do on offense. They won’t be able to stop WT either. Could be a shootout, but at least WT showed a defensive pulse at times in their first two games against far tougher opponents than WNMU. WT really should win this game by multiple scores.

I don't think they will win, but I think WT will be competitive with UTPB provided they can stay healthy that long. I might be wrong, but roster doesn't seem real deep.

Losing to Western Colorado and Mines in competitive games doesn't make WT a bad team.

I’m thinking 5-6. I cannot remember when WT beat a team when they were the under dog.

In two games WT has given up 78 points against teams that are run first offense. UTPB might score 100 on WT.

WT has lost the last three games played and 8-15 since 2023.

Looking like a 6-5 season. 7-4 at best if Buffs can beat someone they aren't supposed to.

If you hadn’t heard, former WT quarterback Ben Arbuckle is the new OC at Oklahoma. It sounds like things are going well for him so far.

Ben was a Nesbitt QB who was ridiculed by new coach Hunter Hughes, who instead started a guy who couldn’t pass or run very well. Ben put up with Hughes for a year before leaving the team.

The unsportsman call against WT's DC on the sideline when he caught an out of bounds pass and pushed it back onto the field was a 100% chickens!t call by the official. Also, the WT deep pass in the 4th inside the 5 was an obvious interference. I mean OBVIOUS. No call by an inept official. D2 officiating may be worse than HS.

WT was hurt when Hibbler decided not to catch a punt in the 1st that ultimately went out on the 2. Turned into a 30 yd Mines TD drive. Also the D had stopped Mines on a 3rd and @ 20 in the 3rd but a facemark erased a good stop. Turned into a Mines TD drive. #7 Landon was a load, 6'2 230 he wound up with 130 rushing. The one pass Martinez would like to have over would be the wide open uncontested one he overthrew in the end zone. daaaamn.

At least someone on the defensive side can catch.

I was there last night and there was definitely some really bad officiating. There were bad calls made on both sides, but it seemed like there were a lot of holds and inteference by Mines that wasn't called. Another bad missed call was when the Mines defender fell down in the the third quarter and just held on to the WT tight end's foot and dragged along with him, but no call with the ref right there. That being said, WT made too many mistakes, and Mines was really good at pinning them deep.

I am surprised. Tied at 31, 3 minutes left 3rd Qut.

This really didnt surprised me. Mines has regressed and WT has improved.
