Your timeline is wrongIt 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.
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…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?
Senter should be sending Texas a thank you card, a dozen roses, and a bottle of top shelf champagne for bolting to the SEC. That domino falling is the only reason UTEP lucked into a Mountain West invite.
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.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.
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...

So...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 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?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.
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.Senter is sending a message to the MW bottom dwellers in basketball that “We Comin” to take your place.
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.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.

Login to view embedded mediaGreat analogies and you’re exactly right I don’t recall anyone who wanted CTF out after four years. Btw I will always wonder had Isaac Hamilton played how different the Floyd era might have turned out
I’ll let you know when I receive my response from our POS athletic director. He has never not responded.I’ve emailed both Senter and Wilson asking for an explanation. Let’s see if either reply.
My previous emails received no response.
I noticed. Well done. More people should follow your lead, including myself.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.....

Yes, Senter gave him the extension to own the trolls. Great insight!The bigger question is why...?
Maybe owning the trolls?
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.
The bigger question is why...?What difference does it make now? What's done is done.
