That was such a fun game, I'll never forget it. Unfortunately no, it's been forever since the Don was rocking like that.

UTEP gets more fans to their games than 90% of G6 and mid majors. UTEP hasn’t had a “good” team in 10 years.

Look at coaching salaries as well. When compared to their future MWC schools, only NIU and Hawaii pay their HC less than UTEP. Money rules everything and the cycle of mediocrity will continue if we want champagne but we can pay for malt liquor.

Even if we paid Walden 1 million that moves him from 105th to 90th in the country in terms of salary.

One of the reasons we keep coaches to the end of their contracts through disappointing seasons is the lack of money. We can’t upgrade the DHC or Sun Bowl without money. We can’t hire more competitive or better coaches without money.

The Sun Bowl capacity dwarfs most of G5 schools and is third in the new MW behind AF and UNLV. 35k/9.5k sounding unrealistic because of the past decade of results doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be a goal for the programs going forward.

It’s just unrealistic; especially with the way the teams have performed over the last 10 years. 5k and 20k are the new bars here.

While what you say here 100% true, you can't help but notice that DK appears to be SOUR over the situation.

Honestly That win really don’t mean shit in the grand scheme of things and clearly didn’t move the needle here my brother from another. ❤️

UTEP finished the year 5-7 and Boise won 10 games and sadly got worked in the conference championship game. If UTEP had went to a bowl that win is a signature one for sure.

Boise has won 27 games and three conference championship game appearances since then meaning their staff has the right to call other G5 teams whatever they hell they want IMO.

We as UTEP fans have a right to be pissy when someone disses us but in this case he’s 100 percent correct and we gotta take a L on this one.

You Never hear coaches say what they really wanna say but DK let loose there and kept it 💯. DK was about unload on Nelson when he asked about the camp competition but regained coaches speak composure really quick.

Wonder if Walden will troll that tweet or any UTEP staffer.

Not sure about either but looks like the 2 backs they just picked up could help. The other one was north Texas leading rusher and second team all ACC

Not only that, I can’t think of any G5 schools currently averaging 35k, maybe ECU? And as for 9.5k, that’s practically unheard of. Those are some incredibly high standards, in the current landscape of G5 programs.
