Tennessee is top 5 overall. Maybe that helped Uteps numbers a little bit??

Could be why they are going after so many TEs in the portal

Didn't the big recruit TE from last year come because of the TE coach??

I saw that. So does that mean Utep is important?

Yup

If Utep played an actual game there would people show up?? Does Juarez have an arena?

minerpride31 said:

We have lost our OC and TE coach already. Both were good recruiters from what I understand. Hopefully we get someone who can match that. Anyone hear any rumblings on their replacements?

GR2 (Sun Bowl North)- closest to the ticket windows, free parking
Private parking lot between Sun Bowl Dr. and N. Mesa St.
Next to Kidd Field- Randolph St

Correction regarding GR2: the cost I $15.00/ game.

Everything from fine dining for the suites and club areas, to BBQ, Italian, and other junk food. A 22k arena is not out of the question when you compare the metro population areas of Louisville and EP, cost of living, housing and average income. Both cities are pretty even, with the exception of not having the HQ for UPS, KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. But EP has PePe's Tamales, Chicos Tacos, and Cattleman's.

GO MINERS!

And Helen of Troy and Lucchese Boot Company and likely other's I'm not aware of. We need more business HQs in EP though.

The ball is in UTEP's court and to fly solo since the County said they will not partner for any bond reno funds, mostly for SB. The voters shot arena bond money down.

True. The ball is in UTEP's court. Every time I drive down from Dallas to Austin, I pass by The Paul and Alejandra Foster Pavilion. In many ways, I'm happy for Baylor. They have intentionally cultivated a strong relationship with one of their billionaire alums which is commendable. On the other hand, I only hope for the day that he can feel such confidence in UTEP to consider giving such a transformational amount to make something similar happen at UTEP. (I understand how much he's already given, btw)

We ain’t getting Tulane, Vanderbilt or Memphis. That leaves us with Butler, NIU and MTSU. Yay back in CUSA with western travel included now.

Click to expand...

I didn’t really mean THIS conference, meant a conference with central time zone teams is acceptable to me. NIU being a football only member is acceptable to me.

It’s only for 1 game per year. 1/2 of which, they would be coming here.

Revenge is a dish best served cold 🤡

So in other words you also don’t want teams east of the Mississippi?

New Orleans, Memphis, Nashville, Indianapolis, Chicago, and Milwaukee are all east of the Mississippi, I would take schools near there over teams in Florida, New York, Delaware, Virginia.

It was a great game to watch, with the exception of the refs. The Yum Center is an incredible venue. It seats 22k and the crowd last night was a little over 11k, but it was loud. Each seat was cushioned, eating options were incredible, with several bars interspersed throughout the venue. All that to say, the experience made me wish that EP would get itself together and build (or renovate the Don) something compatible.
