Offensive line needs work. However, Jackson is average 4 yards per carry (ESPN stats). Not great but definitely not bad either. Cade needs to be efficient.

Senter does not influence any decision on UTEP’s behalf. A number of things are considered, but who the AD is, is not of them. I don’t believe Senter has any bad blood with current MWC schools because of scheduling or poaching coaches.

UTEP will move conferences because they are wanted. The why doesn’t matter. Senter could cold call everyone, it’s not going to make a difference. He’s not selling insurance or fishing for donations.

It’s also foolish to believe Senter/Wilson haven’t been in contact with anyone from the MWC either or they’re not trying or haven’t ever “tried”.

Senter has little popularity because of Dimel and Terry, and to some extent Golding. Do you think he likes flying his teams to Miami and Delaware, when he could be flying them to Albuquerque or Phoenix?

If Jerry wanted Dak to be the guy: ok… but he messed up not locking him down years ago when he had the chance and it would have been cheaper. Now I feel like Dallas is going to be in that vicious cycle they were in during those Romo years where they were having to guarantee contracts and convert money, making problems down the road tomorrow in order to create cap space today.

According to overthecap.com Dak’s cap is almost 90 million in 2025. So you know they’re going to have to do something to lessen the blow.

I agree. Just like Stull his hires and his decision to hang on to coaches LONG after they proved they weren’t “the guy” are what have cost us the opportunity to get out of C-USA every time conference realignment rolled around.

"This is on Wilson" for sure. Now let's get out of CUSA.

People…. Please understand for the 100th time Senter Does Not Make the Decision to have Utep Leave the Conference. He will be told what to do by the University President. If you want to be upset at Senter hires or raising money for Athletics or something like that, cool, but stop saying Senter should be on the phone with MWC or PAC 12, that’s not how it works!

All I know is Utep needs to do something drastic to have a chance to become relevant again

I'm not giving any credit. I'm saying an entity, advocates, and higher up tightened up UTEP athletics information that the SID department controls, or under Bob Stull's tenure, lack there of. This site was a pillar of UTEP "desmadre" weekly at times. SID does everything but UTEP equipment managers had more information than they did. He is no Bob Stull, that's for sure but UTEP fan base and boosters busted Stull's huevos badly, too.

MW has to play this well and adding UTEP and NMSU might not be the best decision for the MW. We both bring losses and a horrid crime scene that is in court still and literally left a crime trail on I-25. Do they need that now? No.

Senter has made bad coaching hires and made bad decisions with them. Everything else is fine. Jim Senter is not the reason why UTEP is in CUSA and currently remains in CUSA. He won’t be the reason (if) the Miners end up in the MWC either.

The way the OSU and WSU backstabbed the MWC reminds me of the parable I learned in elementary school.

The Old Lady and the Snake 🐍

An old woman was walking down the road when she saw a gang of thugs beating a poisonous snake. She rescued the snake and carried it back to her home, where she nursed it back to health. They became friends and lived together for many months. One day they were going into town and the old woman picked him up and the snake bit her. Repeatedly. "O God," she screamed, "I am dying! Why? I was your friend. I saved your life! I trusted you! Why did you bite me?"

The snake looked up at her and said, "Lady, you knew I was a snake when you first picked me up."

LC vs Mayfield rivalry has that ground breaking documentary UTEP doesn't have.🙄

The comments are getting ridiculous along with the lawsuits.

How terrible do we have to be? With all the connections UTEP has—Sun Bowl, Wilson, and AD @ Boise, and with how desperate the PAC is….how terrible do we have to be to not even get a sniff?!

That’s how bad Stull and Kugler set the program back after the momentum we had with Price.

And Kugler had the nerve to say he inherited a dumpster fire. That man scorched the earth and then threw salt on the charred remains.

Sorry, but if they don’t want UNM, they definitely do not want UTEP.

Seems to me that there is alot of ego's involved and alot of "we have to survive" going on.

The PAC12 is promising a better deals than the MW when its basically the same conference. Now that the lawsuits are involved, its becoming personal. The MW is trying everything to not die.

The only value UTEP brings over UNM is the exit fees.

As of today, the Mountain West is not a Conference at 7 teams but neither is the PAC12.

Maybe right now, but realize that's there further realignment on the horizon for the East side of college athletics. Guess who probably will get raided again and will have to resort to more FCS call ups? If you're not overjoyed with Jax St. and Kennesaw St., then you're probably not going to be happy with those call ups either.

Granted, it might also affect the MW as well.

Oh yeah for sure, ACC implosion will cause a big(ger) mess.

Once star players get paid they become lazy.
