Golding will not be fired. As a matter a fact I’m hearing it wasn’t even in the cards. The 7 game losing streak was downright disgraceful with the talent coming back. We all can agree this team underachieved. Heres the problem. Senter doesn’t judge on NCAA appearances or Conference Championships. He sees it as, if the team is competitive and graduating players, ok cool here’s an extension! Senter might not even be a Utep Miner Fan for all we know. It seems like he’s just scraping by doing the bare minimum to stay employed. Golding is simply a Microcosm of a Bad AD. I don’t have faith in Golding next year unless I seem some quality transfers coming in. Even then I have limited belief in him. Montgomery is a quality kid coming in, but will be a freshman and not ready to lead. We need quality D-1 not D-2 transfers! I will donate $500 to the Collective in hopes that enough Miner Fans do too and make a difference! This will be the last and only time I do this if I don’t see Drastic Improvements!!! I’m tired of complaining, so I’m gonna do what little I’m able to and hope that we can attract some real talent. I’m going into next year expecting the worst and hoping for the best. It’s easy to complain, but at least for now I’m out of breath. Joe, since you’re staying apparently, prove all of us doubters wrong and start recruiting better and then try and out coach someone for God Sakes! I for the life of me can’t understand how this team almost beat Louisville on the road and beat a good Yale team, but folded in Conference play! Anyways he’s staying so we gotta suck it up and hope for the best or whatever smh 🤦🏽

Shitty way to start the day with the news in Europe. Gas prices soaring at the moment, stocks crashing and a lot of uncertainty. Do y'all thing this has the potential to turn into ww3?

Any news yet on this front? Who’s Coach Golding targeting? How many scholarships do we have?

I’ve often wondered why UTEP has always been left behind by past conference mates. Also why past conference mates have then moved up to Power Conferences. The easy answer is, cause UTEP is in El Paso. However I think there’s more to it than just that. Whether it’s teams like Arizona and Arizona St. old Border Conference mates, to BYU, Utah, TCU, SMU, UCF, Houston to Power Conferences or teams from the old WAC and CUSA leaving us behind. I think it’s a combination of things. Smallish TV Market, Historically Bad Football, No Commitment to sports excellence from President and AD and not enough donor support. I believe El Paso has one of the most loyal fan bases for the trash we’ve been served over the last 30 years. It’d be wonderful to get a commitment for excellence from the President, AD and Donors. UTSA passed us in no time and I think will eventually be in the Big 12. It’s just sad to see all the teams that were conference foes and where they are now. I think watching Houston as a #1 seed yet again made me post this, cause I remember not too long ago they were right a long side us smh 🤦🏽

Now that the Miners have been officially eliminated, and so that we can keep a dialogue going, this thread has been created for any and all tournament talk. We should be very used to this scenario at this point. 15 years? Meh, that's but the blink of an eye in the expanse of eternity. Ain't that some boolsh!t!

just curious to gage your thoughts what El Paso can realistically land in the future. the El Paso Chihuahuahus are now entering it's 5th season and has been a tremendous succes. Top Golf just recently opened as well. Mountians Star Sports also just announced a new pro soccer team in hopes of luring MLS down the road. Of course we know what's going with the quality of Life bonds and the Arena fiasco. Unfortunately we also had no chance in landing Amazon's second headquarters.

IMO, Bronzeing is out the door. He will not be back next year. Please post any college basketball coaching changes from good sources.

I won't be there no more
So get out of my way
Let me by
I got better things to do with my time
I don't care anymore
Do you hear, I don't care anymore
I don't care no more
You listening? I don't care no more
No more

I Don't Care Anymore
Song by Phil Collins ‧ 1982

So with last night's split won/loss doubleheader in Albuquerque last night, the Chihuahuas will have their first losing season in team history. A disappointing season to be sure, coming off the cancelled 2020 season and an almost entirely new roster for 2021. Despite that, it's still an enjoyable atmosphere at Southwest University Park. I know the parent MLB clubs can care less about wins, losses, division and league championships in the minor leagues. It's all about player development for The Show. But hopefully the Chihuahuas will rebound in 2022.

Although the Chihuahuas have yet to release their 2022 schedule, they will begin the season on the road April 5th at Round Rock. The first homestand will be April 12th against Oklahoma City.

Monday March 18t his the first day of the portal. I'd like everyone's opinion on who is leaving?

The ladies are currently 13-4 with a two game sweep of UNM and a win at Texas Tech under their belts. Two of those losses were close matches @Arizona State. Is the program turning the corner? They only won 11 games all season last year.

I went to one of the first games and it was cool. I was really surprised by the quality of the soccer. TV doesn't do the athletes justice.

I also really liked that the food and drink options stayed consistent with what the Chihuahuas offer.

That being said, I like the more calm baseball crowds. But I am very impressed with Mountain Star Sports and the quality of product that they've brought to El Paso.

Sinecure
/ˈsinəˌkyo͝or/

noun
noun: sinecure; plural noun: sinecures

1. a position requiring little or no work but giving the holder status or financial benefit.

While the jury is still out, I have to say I am liking what I am seeing. On the surface, it appears the Dimel hire just might have slipped under our radar. Most of us were like, wtf is that? But we seem to like the look now.

What I saw last night was what has really impressed me. Senter was up in the stands for the better part of the game. He was introducing himself and chatting with fans. Sometimes he would sit with a couple for 10-15 minutes. To me, this speaks volumes about this man. He originally said this would involve the entire community, and it seems he meant it. Can you imagine Bob talking to Joe Fan?

While we shall see how he does in time, I like the start....

Ok, hopefully the thread, and title, appease both NoWins and randaddy.

This so called USMNT B team is struggling. If Qatar could finish, they’d be up 3 or 4-0.

Did I mention Arriola doesn’t belong on the field right now. His technique has been rendered null and void by Qatar’s speed. It’s like he’s running in quicksand. Put Zardes in with Dike and move Hoppe over to replace Arriola.

Anybody else watching?

Did coach have little or no contact practices in order to keep everyone healthy? You could tell that they were not very good at tackling. I hope they start hitting during practice this week.

As of yesterday the portal is officially open…any word on David Terrell? Wouldn’t we love to have him back. I almost feel like he has a ton of leverage as well in being able to at least ask for decent NIL. If I’m him I ask for decent compensation and if UTEP doesn’t match your needs you walk. You look at the roster and you’re basically talking about a full overhaul. Aside from Terrell I’m so shocked of how this team looks on paper and was put together.

-Rick Pitino was asked this week how he handles recruiting now . “You recruit almost no freshman. Once you have your 1 or 2 incoming freshman you stop there and look for transfers and graduate transfers,”

Being that there’s been no news about an extension of Golding you’re literally looking for 2 to 3 guys that you feel are going to save your job IMO. If you don’t bring in a big man transfer that can rebound AND score start looking to sell your home within the year Joe. Me personally I’m on the side of we should be going in a new direction NOW, but if the administration is going to let him finish the last year, Golding and his staff better exhaust every option to bring in talent. Charge the credit cards, take out payday loans, because there is no next season JOE! For those that are satisfied with Golding and his staff, I pray for you.

Who and how are you going to get them to El Paso Joe? He’s in a horrible and I mean awful position unless the collective and the school have given him full monetary support to go find some studs . The “we pay every player evenly across our NIL” isn’t going to get the job done. You pay the best and rewarding talent the MOST! I was stunned when I heard that’s how we handle our NIL for at least basketball.

Anyone else have this package? I noticed on my bill today that I was charged the first installment for the season. With MLB on hold until this COVID-19 pandemic passes, how is this justified? Getting no answers from AT&T as of yet.

I’m a lifelong Cowboys fan, but they suck. And they’re boring.

How many of you invest? What are the hot investments right now? Serious. Do any of you know shit about investing?

This thread could serve as a place to post any offers UTEP makes. I know there have been several since Dimel took over. If I’m missing any feel free to add them. As new offers go out we can post them here and see which ones commit when it’s all said and done.
