FELIZ NAVIDAD

I admit, I like that this is a Merry Christmas place more than a "Happy Holidays" place

I don't really care if it's "Merry Christmas," "Happy Hanukkah," "Happy Holidays," "Happy Festivus," or whatever. Enjoy this time of year however you enjoy this time of year. Ultimately it's about love and kindness for one another. Peace.

Realistic Expectations for Mens Basketball after Pre Season

I've said this before: while winning the conference tournament is more important, winning the regular season title is more impressive. For that reason I'm good if Golding wins the conference regular season or the tournament title. Anything less, however, and he should be canned, even if he were to only lose the regular season title by one game and lose the tournament final in overtime.

To me, what's interesting is that most others years UTEP would be the favorite to win CUSA with this team. However, the top 4 or 5 teams all seem to have comparable rosters. It's going to be tough, but if Golding doesn't win the CUSA tournament he has to go. If we're going to the MWC, we need to have the expectations of a a MWC team.
Yep. Also, I expect the "lower" tier teams to be competitive as well. SHSU wad picked third in the preseason, and has a bunch of guys back from last year. NMSU beat UNM at the Pit. Both Jacksonville and Kennesaw have some talent on their rosters. There is more balance this year in CUSA, so it will be a challenge.

I agree with what the expectations should be for UTEP, I just think we all know how Senter operates. If Golding does stick around next year, he for sure is going to have many more spots to fill than this year's veteran team. I don't have much confidence he can recruit enough talent to be competitive in just one year, but that is the challenge for all the teams at this level.
