Rasputin Unveils His UTEP Prediction. What's Yours?

predictions_crystal_ball_2

In anticipation of tomorrow's battle against Texas-El Paso, we asked Rasputin, our staff soothsayer and a seemingly ageless Russian immigrant, to offer his prediction for the game. Rasputin - who is said to have pitched the "My Mother the Car" TV series to NBC - has been a rabid Razorback football fan since the program's debut in 1894.

His forecast is after the jump:

"With the autumn moon lighting my way,
I doth seek escape from the nerve-wracking day.

In the mountainous countryside, I wipe away a tear,
and revel in the visions that soon doth appear.

Many points and many touchdowns - of these I do see,
Victorious by a wide margin, my beloved Hogs will be.

As I look up at the beautiful night sky,
I think, "How quickly this season has gone by!"

The end is suddenly, shockingly at hand,
And the Hogs, maybe they're not the best in the land.

But a strong and spirited finish - that is within their reach,
Make it so, make it so - of the Hogs, this I do beseech.

The pig-emblazoned warriors of Arkansas - 41,
the most honorable and spirited warriors of Texas-El Paso - 17."

Well, we've heard from Raz. Now let's hear from you - vote in the poll and pipe up in the comments thread!
