Can't wait! I have been wanting to see them!

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

About to beat another SEC giant underscoring how important a leader at QB is.

Would we be ok with UTEP jumping ship if the new MWC looked something like this? I have UNLV and Air Force leaving in this example.

New MWC:

West:

San Jose St

Nevada

Sacramento St.

Utah St.

Wyoming

Hawaii

East:

UNM

NMSU

UTEP

Texas St.

La Tech

N. Dakota St.

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?

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?

Mine is 1973.

1973 Games​

First game of the season vs Idaho set the tone

I figured this would be a good ongoing thread. The football has been fun. The Patriots and Seahawks game was great of course.

My early Super Bowl pick is Chiefs v. Packers.

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?

yahoo has Clemson vs Washington St.

That would be huge for the Sun Bowl if they can get Clemson.

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.

Game is on Thursday, ESPNU at 6 Mountain. WKU is off this week, last game was 9/28, close loss at Boston College.

UTEP 10
WKU 77

Checked in private if anyone I blocked made one. No one has so here you go

Don't know if there is much interest in Minerlsnd in this game but it's worth noting two NMSU transfers are putting a spanking on the tide:
Pavia & Stowers are doing an impressive job for Vanderbilt. Glad they're not playing for the Aggies - that would be another loss for The Miners.

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.

This beast is nasty.

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.

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

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.
