What's shakin dude? Y'all have a bunch of injuries? QB1 not back yet? Get into the playoffs and roll em!

Well until we get some news about incoming transfers and recruits for Utep Basketball. We might as well talk about Utep Football after Spring Ball wrapped up.

1. QB Set barring injury
2. RB Set barring injuries
3. WR ??????? Will Smith slap around corner backs like Cowing did last year? (Some Pun intended)
4. O-Line Set barring injuries
5. TE- ???? Hasn't really been featured too much since Dimel arrived.

1. D- line Best in Conference
2. LB Steady
3. Secondary some holes to fill, but has potential
Coaching: Stayed in tact for the most part. This team finished hungry for more after a close loss to a strong Fresno St. team Our defense will be top 30 once again and if Hardison can make smarter decisions, this team could win 8+

Prediction 8-4 6-2 in conference

It's nice to go into a season with high hopes and possibly a team that can live up to it! 2 bowls in a row hasn't happened in awhile, I believe it does next year!!!

I can’t name one.

TV loves covering Aaron Jones, H.S. football and NMSU (especially ABC 7).

No one cared to start an OPT

UTEP 28
USTA 38

35k attendance

Truly a remarkable woman who turned UTEP into a tier 1 university

Always took time to talk to me when I was a lowly student and even later I was honored to attend events at Hoover House.

RIP and tomorrow I hope we win one for you.

for those living in El Paso?? Who is the best coach right now??

I spend more time in Midessa and Lubbock these days. I’m always hoping my road somehow leads me back to El Paso full time. My heart still aches for those affected one year ago.

Tickets are $10, general admission and on sale now. Can’t wait to see the fights on social media when the older fans come looking for their seats.

So the Sleeping Giant phrase has been thrown around lately when it comes to Utep Football. I can see that referring to Basketball, but idk if Football was ever awake lol. I like the positive attitude though and the rhetoric coming from our AD and HC. I actually think it should be sold to recruits and show them pix and video of the sun Bowl packed like in 2000 and how this city will back a winning program. This has been really tough on Miner fans with both sports and I hope next year is a better year and then the following year we see our football team in a bowl and basketball team in the NCAA. Again I don't know if this Giant was ever not sleeping, but Damn It, It's Time to Wake Up!!!!

I see a lot of post and threads being deleted. I just wanna know what can be posted or not

These boards are meant to be a place to respectfully discuss all things UTEP. Disagreements and conflicting opinions are expected and often necessary for productive discourse.

Because most users are anonymous and we’re all communicating behind the distant security of a screen, it’s easy to say things that you wouldn’t say to a person’s face.

The boards will be moderated according to the following guidelines:

• Racist or sexist comments will not be tolerated, this will now be strictly enforced.

• No attacking other posters. Do not bring up their name in posts that they did not start or were not involved in, and do not start posts just to talk about them and get a reaction. Do not consistently respond to their posts with no merit other than to belittle them.

• Do not post unsubstantiated rumors about anyone that could be considered libelous.

• No political threads of any kind, only acceptable threads are OT posts related to sports or El Paso, Texas, New Mexico or other local topics of conversations, pop culture threads will be reviewed so tread lightly please.

• Any derailments of thread topics will result in warnings and possible bans, please stay on topic on said thread.

• Criticism of UTEP is allowed and encouraged if that criticism is supported by reasonable facts and opinion. That does not mean you have free range to bash or alienate a player or coach with your comments. If you disagree with how they played or the effort they put forward, please voice your opinion and state why you hold that opinion. If it's something you would not say to their faces, then don't post it.

• Posting of commercial offers, competing websites, or spamming of the board will not be permitted.

• No pornographic or obscene material of any kind.

• No posting or distributing any material that infringes and/or violates any right of a third party or any law.

Personal attacks on anyone -- whether an anonymous poster or outside person -- will not be tolerated.

Report any content that violates these guidelines.

For those of you with the inside info and good sources. If you had to bet ???? Who do you think the jobs will go to?

First, he's looking as good in the NFL as he did in college. Next, he reps UTEP and El Paso with his TD Celebration. Hopefully, we can parlay this in recruiting.

I think this team has quite on CMP. It's time to go in another direction.

It shows on my guide. 14.2 Fox is also what I was told. Some folks have told me just stick a paper clip in the coaxial port and maybe a small stip of foil for better picture? Is that true? I never heard of it nor tried it.

Is he gonna be playing against the Chihuahuas? If yes anyone know the dates.

To Kansas, to coach at Wichita State. Sucks for us if she gets it, Stull's best hire at UTEP...

She might be going up against UConn in a few years if WSU goes to the AAC, and she will have the Kansas JUCO's on lock. The Shockers might nab themselves one hell of a coach....

It's the second year in a row that no "power" conferences will touch it. The following participants all have losing records:

Coastal Carolina, Hampton, UIC, Loyola (MD), and Utah Valley.

It used to be that there would be one or two teams with losing records, and they were the "power" conference teams. With this kind of field, I'm not sure a CBI championship means anything at all.

The CIT will probably survive, since it's tailored for mid-majors and they only take teams with winning records. I'm not sure how many more seasons the CBI will survive. Well, as long as there is an abundance of 15-17 teams willing to pay to play, I guess it will limp along, but who wants to watch that?

Wow! Obviously alot of shade to CUSA by the selection committee and rightfully so but the NCAA mostly took the top half of power conferences.

Not one team from CUSA made the brackets. Three from MWC.
Of course this was done completely different from the basketball brackets, which at least every conference has a representative.

Will Tim Floyd accept the invite ?

He's the only one that gets called out by other board members...at least on a regular basis. He says the same shit all the time. He has zero regard for those that don't want to hear him.

Rigo! There has to be something you can do to keep this ass off the board for good. Or does he drive up your site clicks/$?
