I'm still sick to my stomach. Not since the the Southern Utah have I been so disgusted.

Hoping for my Bucs to save this weekend.

Here’s the worst part for me at least. A good team and a good coach makes adjustments at half time. At home we should’ve came out like our hair was on fire 🔥. The fact that a still winnable game at half turned to an almost 30 pt beat down is what makes me question Golding and this team. What happened to us should only happen to a D2 school! No way this can be spinned! Terrible 1st half that’s one thing, but to be worse in the 2nd half in front of a sold out crowd is inexcusable!!! I’ll post again at the end of the regular season going in to the Conference Tournament. It’s pointless and as far as I’m concerned this team deserves to lose support until they prove that they merit the love of the fans of El Paso. Sorry, but you can’t lose to a team that’s not very good and your rival in front of a sold out crowd by near 30 and not expect a huge let down from your fan base!!! I’ve been patient with Golding, but unless he gets this team to the Dance by some miracle he should hit the road. You brought all your players back and this is the results you put out on the court!!!?

His whole week is lost. Probably had a bunch of potential content regarding the sell out. Now, nobody wants to hear about the game or the crowd.

By record they weren't the best, but I agree they were fun to watch. They stumbled and lost 5 of their last 6 games.

The 2006 team was the best. That OT loss against Texas Tech destroyed the teams morale. I believe 5 or 6 of those seniors went to the NFL and we had the talent to run with anyone. Palmer to Higgins was an incredible combo and Marcus Thomas was a beast. Darn shame

He was supposed to give us an “edge” over other mid majors too!

Yeah I don’t expect him to talk extensively about a bad loss, but he could at least acknowledge it. He’s a lot like this board. Have some fans beating their chests over Tarleton St and Sam Houston wins, but don’t acknowledge losses like last night.

To be fair, the 2005 football team was 1 win away from the Conference Championship Game.

If a WAC Championship Game existed in 2004, then UTEP would have been playing in it.

Deaver is now paid by the university to be a hype man. Definitely will never hear anything but positivity from him.

Has anyone heard from Deaver? He has been MIA on X. I wonder why.

Fair enough but that still doesn’t even the score.

Yup. And in the last 20 years we can compare the two programs:

NMSU Football: 3 Bowls, 2 wins, 1 Conference Championship Appearance.
UTEP Football: 4 Bowls, 0 wins, not even close to competing for a Conference Title.

NMSU Basletball: 10 NCAA Tournament Appearances, 1 Win, 9 Conference Tournament Chsmpionships, 7 Regular Season Championships
UTEP Basketball: 2 NCAA Tournament Appearances, 0 wins, 1 Conference Tournament, 1 Regular Season Chsmpionship.

As it stands right now, UTEP has no business saying they’re better than NMSU and we are lucky we are El Paso because THATS why we got in C-USA.

At this point I wouldn’t trust Wilson, Walden and Golding to run a fake jersey stall at the mall let alone handle UTEP Athletics.

2009 was a fun basketball season and 2014 was promising, but I understand how you feel. Our whole athletic program has been sooo far behind the curve for so many years. We never catch any breaks. It's like a bad gambler who never quits. It's depressing.

I did say consistently. They may be able to market the home opener and give away a bunch of tickets for the high school kids .

The football crowds were great over the early part of this season. Was that coming off of a bowl?
