Is this event still happening today? Any speculation as to what it will be?

And no Fili, UTEP has no involvement with the Sun Bowl game. 🤡

UTEP is having an event next Friday (1/10) at 3pm to celebrate the move to the MWC. Says there’s a “special announcement” too. MWC Commissioner Gloria Nevarez will be in attendance.

I see what ya mean. W. Kentucky Football only perhaps? I just don’t know if they’d do that with a successful Volleyball team and decent basketball team that would have to look for homes.

That was for 10 tickets. I'm waiting for single tickets to be 1k.

What's the MACs response?? Are they going to replace Northern Illinois? Why isn't Western Kentucky and Middle Tennessee calling the MAC?

KaneFan29 said:

That’s not entirely true. 9 teams means 4 games and 1 team is always off or playing in non conference. 10 teams gives you another game of inventory for media partners, during conference play.

One more football team does nothing for MWC right now. A 9 team league has the perfect number of conference games 8. The only move would be if they wanted to go to let’s say 12 teams and not so sure that’s the plan.

MWC is going have add another school near Northern Illinois. They just can't leave them there alone there has to be a plan to add not just one but couple more schools.. Whatever happened to Toledo? But I think they should go for Toledo and Sacramento State.

They got 4,004 for the LA Tech game at home. I doubt they travel that many

Why Fili? I think it’s been made clear before they are only for Football! There is no need for a travel partner in this case.

Former McNeese Linebacker Micah Davey Commits to UTEP

Micah Davey was one of the best defensive players to don the royal blue and sunflower gold in recent memory, but now the former McNeese linebacker has transferred to the University of Texas at El Paso.

Good one Maniac. IMO, since it has been so long since UTEP has done the chant, I'm guessing very few fans are left that remember what it is. I really think the band would need to initiate it. Apparently, in 2014, they reinstated it for home games:

UTEP men's basketball team opens season tonight 'Amen' chant returns this season

The UTEP men’s basketball team will tip-off the 2012-13 season tonight against Oral Roberts on Bring Back the ’80s night. UTEP players are dressed as iconic 80’s characters in the team’s 2012-13 schedule poster. The men’s basketball season ticket stock features Miner legends from the 80’s...

It's been many years, but I think they did away with the Amen chant around the same time they let Strelzin go. I remember opposing schools/coaches complaining about Strelzin's tactics of getting the crowd involved. It's possible that the origin of the chant may have had something to do with it getting axed. It would be great for the younger fans to get a taste of what UTEP basketball was like back in the day. Hopefully, that starts this Saturday.

SOLD OUT! Ticketmaster shows no seats available for sale. I'm sure there's some for resale. My guess is about 3500 Aggie fans will be there.
