Women's Volleyball

I've noticed some of the ESPN channels showing women's volleyball matches in off hours. It's usually Power 5 conference games. I've noticed also that Conference USA has one or two teams in the top 25 ranking. Maybe I'm just wishing on one hand and farting on the other, that Conference USA could get in on some revenue stream by showing our conference games. UTEP has its' best team in maybe forever and is ranked third in the conference after Western Kentucky and Rice. We might as well try to maximize our impact on things when we have something positive to show for it. I know numerous bloggers are down on CUSA, but still, when we've got something positive happening, play it up. Any thoughts?

OT : ALL THINGS SOCCER (-) WC and EURO CUP 😜

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?

OT: El Paso Chihuahuas

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.

Football Recruiting

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.

Gameday Experience Complaints

Scoreboard: Why are the down, or yards always wrong or delayed from what is actually happening on the field?

Audio: WTF is barbie girl blasting on the speakers? The music selection is very gay. Team was about to receive at start of 2nd half and some random ass slow song was playing on the speakers. Speakers also sound like shit.

Monica: She's got to go. Spend some money on a good and entertaining skilled MC.

Promos suck: You'd figure they would learn from the Chihuahuas or from seeing other D1 schools on the road.

UTEP band director speaker: Loud, too loud. Bring it down or find another way to communicate to the band.

Back to Audio at Sun Bowl: QB is trying to get the play, and we have loud ass music blasting. I think at one point it even caused a delay of game or a forced TO.


Very mickey mouse by UTEP. Simple stuff that can easily improve the experience.

Ineptitude

This Miners football team is the college football equivalent of a chain being only as strong as it's weakest link.

This FBS team is only as strong as it's weakest FCS coach and players. We are a weak FCS team wearing FBS uniforms. This is pathetic.

I'm not advocating for a coaching change after one year but it would not hurt my feelings if we brought in a real FBS level coach with one year to build before we join the MWC.
