It's too bad the betting here is closed. UTEP would be showing me da money! Looks like nobody got in on this action. Why it it closed so early?
After Howzit lost it all in the S&L scandals of the 80's he rebuilt his wealth but lost it again when the tech bubble crashed and his tech heavy portfolio was wiped out. Then he invested in a little company called Enron; which didn't end up so well for him. So he's turned his fortunes to college football gambling, where his aggressive wager on the UTEP Miners is sure to get him back in the black.
You forgot the part about hunting down JohnnyMack, cutting off his gentalia, and then feeding them to him. Oh wait...that's yet to come.
