Last night we played against a team that was in 9th place in the conference. Tomorrow we play against the second place team, on that will be looking for revenge from their loss at home to us. I felt confident that we would beat FIU; unfortunately I feel no such confidence against Liberty. I hope I'm wrong.

UTEP 71
Liberty 79

Some early concerns:

Only 4RBs on roster and only 2 TEs??

Is Walden getting rid of the RB and TE position??

"Fall enrollment figures for the 2019-20 academic year reached a record high of 25,177, compared with 25,151 last year."

""I think when we saw UTEP designated as an R1 institution, the word really got out there about the academic quality of UTEP and more and more graduate students are coming here both at the masters level and doctoral level."

I always thought there should be a jobs posting thread. Maybe someone wants to move back to El Paso or someone is thinking of moving to El Paso.

I will start El Paso Chihuahuas are having a job fair February 15. Who is going??

So Happy for Mack he’s worked his way from Kugler ball, to a high school coach, to legit FBS coordinator.

I’ll be praying to the great god of college football named “Allah” that Gymnasium Center is fired this summer and his new replacement can find a way to pay for his buyout next December after Scott Walden goes 4-8 with another FCS level roster and brings Leftwich back home for the 2026 season.

Not looking good against Rutgers. Can't stop the running attack.

Interesting that Miner fans are quite apathetic and understandably so that no one is excited that today is National Signing Day for Football and Walden signed a Top 75 Class!!!

Much has been said about the fact that there isn't much of a delta between the top eight teams in the conference. FIU isn't one of those teams. We should win this one fairly comfortably:

UTEP 81
FIU 67

An old blind man in a wheelchair applies for a job at a logging camp. Bossman says : what can you do? Crip says: I’m an expert wood sniffer.

Boss puts a piece of oak in front of crips nose. Crip says: it’s oak. Very strong. Excellent for support beams.

Boss puts a piece of pine under crips nose. Crip sniffs and says: Pine! Excellent for floors and cabinets!

Frustrated, boss man tells his wife to come over to the applicants wheelchair and lift her skirt right in his face.

Crip sniffs once, then more deeply.

Bossman says well?

Crip says, ok you got me. I don’t know what kind of wood it is.















But I’m certain it’d make an excellent shit house on a fishing boat 🤪

They beat La Tech 64-54 today. I have watched a couple of their games and saw part of today's game. I noticed that their leading scorer Petree didn't play. Can anyone tell me why?

A great idea started years ago is now a nightmare for some. DWI deaths, public intoxication, urination near Kern homes, stabbings, fights, some belligerent owners who will not comply with guidelines, and now the 2nd shooting in 2 weeks in the Cincy District. "The Devil's Triangle" (Northeast) doesn't need the competition.

EPPD needs help with this area.

Teams are arriving. There is no reason UTEP should lose either game no matter who the opponent is

My son plays for Santa Teresa. This was nuts.

Not really recruitment linked but still related to the team. Westmoreland had entered the portal and it looks like he hasn't signed on with a team yet. Is there any chance that he comes back to UTEP for his graduate season? Rivals has him listed as a 4-star and I think it would be great to have him back for one last run. He is a tremendous athlete and a team leader.

Hopinglast time was an aberration. We look good so far. Wish the UTEP app would stop crashing

UNM is currently top dog. 12-1 in conference and #35 in Ken Pom.

San Diego State, Boise State, Utah State, Colorado State, Nevada, UNLV all ahead of UTEP in KenPom.

Looks like they might weaken the MWC. Then UTEP can join with Wyoming and the leftovers.

Why are they playing high school football? And should they?

Discuss in a humble and respectful manner.

For giving purposes, UTEP should be courting these folks full steam ahead. Free tickets, champaign lunches, brunches, interviews by the pool.

I'll start with the obvious.

Paul Foster and Alejandra de la Vega

Also, one of the de la Vega kids at least, Artemio I think, went to UTEP while I was there.

Josh Hunt (Hunt Family)

Bob O'Rear (Microsolft: Net Worth thought to be around 100 Mill at last count)

Who else?
