New MWC Possibility:

The Sun Bowl needs to look into the future and see how they can position itself to host the opening round of the College Football Playoff.

Eventually, it will be ultra monetized like March Madness. There will be bidding for host sites, brackets will have regions for Travel purposes of fan bases, seeding and selection will get figured out, it will expand teams, the dates will be moved, etc…

The 12 team playoff is the tip of the iceberg.

Unless the playoffs are expanded beyond 12 teams, there’s no way in hell El Paso hosts a first round game, and not until the Sun Bowl undergoes a major renovation or rebuild.

The only junk I'm hearing is people saying Utep has nothing to do with the Sun Bowl. Those are the trolls. That's like saying the Cinderella Castle has nothing to do with Walt Disney World.

I'm pretty sure that we know exactly the way they're feeling as it has happened to us about 3 or 4 times already. It sucks for them but they're loss is our gain.

One thing that I find amusing on X is that Washington State and Oregon State fans are constantly crapping in the new MWC now. They're the UTEP of G5. They were left behind and now think they're the coolest G5s on the country. It must suck for them to go from eating steak to eating bologna.

I think the difference is UNLV said no, or allegedly “couldn’t afford to”. We here, were never invited anywhere when the others left.

Yeah, the OSU and WSU are a funny bunch. They both sucked against new MWC teams in football this year and I think I saw OSU lost to Loyola Marymount in WCC play by 20 the other day.

How would you be feeling if we were all UNLV fans at this point? All the “good” teams left and basically “we” decided not to follow them.

The MWC replaced San Diego, Boise, Fresno, Colorado St, and Utah St with Hawaii, UTEP, GCU, UCDavis, and NIU. 1 group is clearly better than the other. Not to mention the other group added Gonzaga.

Instead of playing Gonzaga and San Diego St in basketball, they’re playing UC Davis and Hawaii in 2 seasons.

The way that we felt when CUSA was down to 5 teams and added all the schools there now, is how they all feel

Dear UNLV fans, you had two good seasons in football, congrats. Your basketball is nowhere the perennial top program it once was. Now settle down.

Due to UNLV’s location, they can be bad at sports. I don’t think the majority of them feel entitled. From what I have read, UNLV chose to remain in the MWC, due to economic reasons. The Pac 12 would definitely take them at this point, assuming it were possible.

What if UTEP had told the MWC, “we can’t afford it, no thanks”? We would be upset about it too. There’s not 1 smart UTEP fan that wouldn’t want to be in the Pac 12. It’s clearly better than the MWC.

Yeah of course I get it. My bewilderment had more to do with seeing UNLV fans ok with staying in the MWC initially, even after Reno moved on to P12.

The Sun Bowl is on the Utep Campus. I hate when you guys say Utep has nothing to do with the Sun Bowl. Utep should kick the Sun Bowl out then have them play Soccoro Field or El Paso High. Utep can start its own own bowl game. The stadium is what makes the Sun Bowl, the Stadium that is own by Utep. Does the Sun Bowl organization pay Utep to have its game there?? What does the contract say?

Once again I have to ask...

Do you really believe the junk you post or are you intentionally trolling by making the dumbest remarks possible?

UTEP vs La Tech.

I think what hurts is only having 1 ticket window. El Paso is a drive crowd and people not going to wait in one ticket window.

UTEP went to electronic tickets a few years ago. It was kind of annoying at first (like most changes), but way better in my opinion.

I agree that it may deter some new or bandwagon fans who are trying to walk up and are unaware, but that's UTEP's fault for not winning. It will all be fine if they just win.

Who cares what UNLV thinks. How you think Oregon State and Wazzu feel?? How you think Texas A&M feels?? Everyone is upset.
