They are in the process of transitioning from FCS to FBS.

Usually, only one FCS game may count towards bowl eligibility.

UTEP is already playing one FCS team in UIW (which is ranked 3rd in the preseason FCS coaches poll and will probably be one of the 4 toughest opponents UTEP faces this season).

I'm just trying to understand how many games UTEP needs to win to be eligible for a bowl game, particularly if they manage to win against all of JSU, SHSU, and UIW. Could UTEP actually require 8 wins to be bowl-eligible?

LaTech who was 3-9 last year picked 4th. Aggies picked 5th. Guess LaTech made more improvements in the off season than Dismel did.

A loss to Jax St in the first game and we’re in big trouble.

Since I live 1,300 miles away from El Paso, I don't have a chance to catch practices/games, but for those of you that are there, I'd like to hear what you think of the current QB's on the roster as we go through fall practices. Besides GH, I've not seen anyone else who's currently on the team while at UTEP. I have seen Jake McNamara play here in TN a number of times and he was mighty impressive on and off the field. For an undersized QB I love his character, football intelligence, quickness and strength.

GO MINERS!

UTEP hosts UIW and UNLV OOC in 2023 and visits Arizona and NMSU. The Aggie game will be a conference game that year so the Miners need another OOC game.

I noticed that Baylor and Kansas both have openings.

This should be fun.....

So with realignment back in the news, I'm wondering what everyone's ideal conference for UTEP would be?

In my perfect world, UTEP would in a 12 team conference that would see them grouped with:

NMSU
NM
Arizona
Arizona St
Colorado
Colorado St
Utah
BYU
Boise ST
Wyoming
Air Force

What's yours?

UTEP’s Promo department has really impressed me this year. The promos have been tough!!

Is it me or do these unis look tight! Not that these things matter but that post is blowing up on Twitter. Over 260k views so far. Many comments about going into hostile territory to do the shoot.

What animal you think they would've picked? I'm jealous of schools that have animal mascots. Like Texas,Colorado and Georgia Bulldogs. Maybe UTEP could get a burro?? Miners used Burros I think??

Congratulations to Eric Tomlinson now a tight end with the Denver Broncos.

So are we excited that NMSU is now our conference mates and can look forward to the basketball rivalry getting even more intense or we still feel like we're better than the Aggies and don't want them in our conference?

Why not build the arena here??

According to Dan Patrick.

According to other reports, it's inaccurate.

If this happens along with SMU, Rice, UNLV, there could be further movement in conferences that affects UTEP. It's too bad the football team has crapped the bed... we could get left behind if the MWC decides to add.

Ive never been to Red Sands. But i think its a wasted Gold Mine for El Paso, it should not be used for RTVS and off roading.
You dont see New Mexico letting people go off roading at White Sands.
Red Sands should be protected like how New Mexico protects White Sands.

I didnt know Red Sands was a acient sea. Where is Max Grossman why isnt he fighting to protect Red Sands??


"Thirty four million years ago, the entire area used to be under an ancient sea and you'll come across plenty of fossils. Since it's open year round, this is an attraction you don't want to miss. With Off-Road Adventures you can rent an ATV so that you can join in on all the fun in the desert hills."

We're turning up the excitement at our annual UTEP Football Kickoff Luncheon with something truly special - thePreview reveal of our alternate adidas football uniforms for the 2023 season!



Who better to unveil this than Patrick Hegarty, our 1988 UTEP Football Quarterback? It's a blend of tradition and the thrill of what's to come!

So, join us at the El Paso Convention Center on Wednesday, July 26th, from Noon to 1:30 PM, to be part of this unforgettable moment.

Seats are just $65 each or bring your fellow UTEP fans and grab a table for 10 at $650. Remember, some lucky tables will have the unique opportunity to dine with a UTEP Football Student-Athlete, but they're limited, so act fast!

Get ready for an afternoon of nostalgia, excitement, and anticipation. Mark your calendars and book your spot - because this is one reveal you won't want to miss! See you at the luncheon.

Go Miners!

Looks like AD is now in the portal and ready to leave UNM. Any chance he might be willing to come back home? AD is a much quicker and elusive back than what we have on roster. With Quadriz Wadley leaving due to graduation, I think he would be a great compliment to our backfield.

Anyone got a scouting report haha?

is rated as the #12 qb in CUSA and #112 overall. I’m surprised he wasn’t ranked dead last. This changes my opinion of him a little bit. I’ll try not to be so hard on him.
