Are We On The Precipitous Of A UTEP Golden Era

Hopefully having Nelson will draw some good portal receivers that can create separation and make plays

Will Walden let this dude throw the ball downfield? Or are we gonna just see this guy rifle the ball across the the field to the sidelines on screen plays every other play? Is Walden gonna try to justify this high school offense with a QB who can get to the screen faster than Locklear?

Man it was stupid of me missing Alice Cooper live. I saw snippets of his SB appearance and the man was in fine form like he was in the 70's to mid 80's. Decades of sobriety, religion, golf and humility have done him wonders.
He performed when the sun was still out and thousands were still in line. I have no idea why they put him out so early. There was 30+ minute breaks before Def Leopard and Motley Crue. He easily could have come out an hour later

Does ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ QB transfer affect ticket sales?

We all forget this completely forgettable "highly ranked" transfer? Keith Frazier.

A mcDonalds all American, top 20 overall recruit! And he was one of the worst teammates I ever saw wear a UTEP jersey. If I recall correctly, he didn't even finish the year. It was good riddance.


I'm extremely hyped about Nelson's signing but it's silly to think one player is going to move the needle with attendance before they've taken a snap. After the opening game, Utep attendance is 100% dependent on team success after years of failure.
Frazier was by all accounts a good kid and teammate. He has a mental health issue and left the team midway through the year. Even Floyd said he was a good kid and wished there was more he could’ve done for him

You always bring up programs that have a one year turnaround, now you say it doesn’t mean anything.
We will be happy to have a winning season but alll us want to have prolong success.
No one thinks or expects us to compete with the P -5 schools.
I’m talking about sustainability. There’s a really really good chance UTEP will never sustain it because of history. If Walden wins and moves on, time for the next guy to come in a win ASAP. Not wait 4 or 5 years to appear in the NM Bowl.

But we have to accept that talented players can lose games because mentality, coaching, preparation and execution can be the deciding factor in close games.

Walden has definitely brought in better talent, and I applaud that. But just like we didn’t let Dimel off the hook when he was talking about Time of Posession when he was losing we can’t applaud the recruiting if he wins 3 games this fall.
I get it and agree and it’s yet to be seen at this point. I’m hoping and betting on eking better though. I un like some on here liked Walden and was my number 1 choice.

Kane it doesn’t matter what was brotha. I think you’re failing to see something that you’ve even said in the past about how bad Utep Football Recruiting was and couldn’t be expected to compete at a high level. Question for you? Do you think the talent of a team full of top 75 recruits after 3 years vs a team full of 125 ranked recruits will be better or worse? Simple question let’s see how you answer that?
I’m not sure exactly what you’re asking. You and others need to stop with 3 years stuff. Each year is a new year now.

A team full of better players should do better versus the same competition than a team not full of better players.
