Where is JOE GOLDING?

It changed everything in college football. When Texas and Oklahoma left for the SEC the Big 12 responded by raiding the Pac12. Then the Big Ten joined in and took more Pac12 schools.

The Pac2 didn’t fold instead they turned around and took teams from the Mountain West to stay alive. That left the Mountain West needing replacements and that’s how UTEP got the invite.
Your timeline is wrong
Big 12 took AAC teams
Big Ten took UCLA/USC
Big 12 and Big Ten took 6 more Pac 12 teams
ACC took Cal and Stanford

Maybe I'm not aware of something, but what what does Texas going to the SEC have to do with UTEP getting into the Mountain West?
UT/OU moving to the SEC was the first domino to fall opening up several spots and the idea of expansion in the Big 12, which PAC teams acted upon, opening up spots for MWC teams…

Senter’s still relatively new to the whole UTEP scene but we’ve seen this movie before many times. Stability? We’ve handed that out like Halloween candy to just about every coach who’s walked through the door and not once has it actually paid off in our favor.
When Wilson gives Senter his extension, the first thing she is going to mention is how he led us to the MWC. He is playing with house money. SMH.

I don't have a problem with your trolling Corona. I know that in the past, you were a UTEP fan. And yes, I see the weaknesses and mismanagements in our program and I scream and bitch as much as the next fan...but, that's the rub: it's fans being fans. Timewasting, insecure, and "wannabe relevant" trolls are only here for the clicks. They couldn't give two shits about the Miners. So...

Bingo. I will always be a UTEP fan, win or lose. If that makes me "the problem", then so be it.

The trolls here have no lives and no friends and all the attention they get is from this site. I don't hate them. I don't even dislike them. I just feel sorry for them.

Naw the 8 thousand plus that are no longer showing up to the games are the majority.

Appreciate you taking a break to remind us basement dwellers of our place in the fringe. Sorry for noticing the teams under Golding is not even reaching mediocrity and having an opinion on it.

You really brought it home with that last line. Even through all the chest pounding and flexing deep down you’re asking the same questions the trolls are. Welcome to the dark side.

The real irony is that on this board, the “trolls” aren’t just a loud minority anymore, they are the majority, and it’s not even close. You’ve basically got Vegas and maybe one other poor soul still waving the Golding flag like it’s the hill worth dying on. Everyone else? Fully off the Kool Aid, fully done with the excuses. This board has turned into a support group for people recovering from blind optimism.
The dozen, or so, trolls on this site are the majority? You guys still living with your parents don't even attend the games, much the less contribute dollars to the program. The Thousands and thousands of true fans that put their money where their mouth is and attend the games are the true majority. You trolls are on the fringes, like monkeys flinging your feces at people. That said, why the F is Golding getting an extension?

Senter is sending a message to the MW bottom dwellers in basketball that “We Comin” to take your place.
100%. We can't win in CUSA, how the heck are we going to win in the MWC? Bronzing is going to bury this team for the next 3 years at the bottom of it. San Jose State and UC Davis may be the only teams we are on par with. This is going to get really ugly.

The only thing good thing that may come out of this is that Senter gets fired after the next couple of disastrous seasons. My bet is that the football teams improvement may bail him out.

I just can't believe what UTEP has become. Any other school would have fired Bronzing. Only UTEP is dumb enough to give him an extension. You just can't make this up.

Yup. This upcoming football season is the only thing that can save UTEP athletics. Pewter will have to have an immaculate non-conference record for anyone to get excited about this team.

It’s really hard for me to believe that Pewter has many high level supporters, which he must have. People must enjoy losing and beating D2 teams. That’s why attendance has gone to 4,000 announced for most games.

Hey Fanatico....I haven't posted since I said I was done with UTEP. My friend on X sent me the post and I blew a gasket. I just KNEW Joe had a foot out the door. I was looking at tickets again, seeing MY seats were still available. And then this slaps me in the face....

Eff Senter....Eff Heather....Eff Joe mf golding......They are ALL responsible for taking UTEP down like Newsome and Bass are in Cali.....

Joe fires his assistants....They get hired at better places...hmm....Joe loses the WHOLE roster and signs scrubs....Yeah, that's a winning plan. Now we are stuck with a shit coach, a shit AD, and a shit President that apparently want UTEP to get rid of all sports. Eff Scotty while I'm at it!!

I tossed my gear last night. Shirts, shorts, mugs, Mats, etc.....UTEP doesn't care, I know....but now theyve lost my son in the process, meaning his friends too....and the future fan base...

Take care y'all. I just came to vent.....

FUTEP
I noticed. Well done. More people should follow your lead, including myself.

This is pretty much my response. Not every hire is going to work out, I get that. But extending a hire that clearly isn't working out is just a big Eff You to the fan base. Senter and Wilson just don't care.

I have a theory this goes back to Natalicio / Stull. There had been some scandals in the sports program at the same time she was trying to build the academics. I think she hired Stull and told him to try to hire coaches that could win, but top priority was to be squeaky clean so there were no distractions from what she was trying to do with the academic side. If that meant bypassing rising coaches that might bring baggage, so be it. And I think that culture is living on.

The bigger question is why...?
Maybe the powers that be are convinced that in this NIL era, what matters most is something other than results? Maybe potential? Maybe continuity? Maybe owning the trolls? I don't know. But, I'll be at the games...cheering... probably bitching...but for sure, hanging with my friends and family being Miner fans.

Same here. That's the best part. Hanging out with friends and family.

Obviously we all want to win, but the joy is in the experience.

What difference does it make now? What's done is done.
