I wrote about Canelo versus Crawford, prize fighting, and how its ruthlessness is an inextricable part of this country.

Beneath the spectacle and showmanship, one legend ends as another begins.

“Sir, UTEP, the Harvard of the Borderland, just beat a college named after Texas’ first president, in the city named after him too.”

Who?

Roberto José Andrade Franco @randradefranco.bsky.social · 16h

Not only does El Paso have a superior monument than Huntsville, but they also have the superior college football team.

UTEP, the Harvard of the Borderland, sleeps as winners tonight.

Need to talk with therapist about this

Roberto José Andrade Franco @randradefranco.bsky.social · 18h

Oh that's right. Been watching this garbage offense for past few weeks that I forgot they actually scored touchdowns this season.

Every time I want to believe in Locklear...

Roberto José Andrade Franco @randradefranco.bsky.social · 19h

UTEP, the Harvard of the Borderland, has scored touchdowns on back-to-back possessions.

I assume last time they did that was last season when they put a beating on NMSU, the DeVry of New Mexico.

I’m still not sure Locklear is a FBS caliber QB but every time he plays, I’m more convinced that Malachi isn’t one.

Roberto José Andrade Franco @randradefranco.bsky.social · 19h

Utep celebrating touchdowns by breaking rocks with a pick axe seems like the sort of thing that’s going to seem very stupid as soon as someone stabs their leg

If Scotty was half as good at offensive play calls as he is at burning through timeouts, UTEP would be unstoppable

Trying to watch UTEP, the Harvard of the Borderland, but the CBS Sports app isn’t working.

Maybe it’s for the best

As Hispañic Heritáge Month ends, feels like it was very muted this year. Didn’t see many brands pandering.

Even racists didn’t wear fake mustaches and sombreros out of fear they’d get picked up by ICE.

Cowboys are going to finish the season with a 7-7-3 record

Pickens makes me feel old by how I yell “HOLD THE BALL RIGHT” whenever he runs with it

We’re back in the Antonio Ramiro Romo era.

Dak has to be perfect for team to win since the defense is shit.

Roberto José Andrade Franco @randradefranco.bsky.social · 4d

There isn’t a better QB than Dak Prescott right now

People are saying Skylar Locklear is the El Paso Fran Tarkenton

These WRs have let down Nelson all season

How it started…how it’s going.
