Didn’t see a thread for the game tonight. MTSU is 6-11 on the year with no road wins, a loss to Southern Utah, and their best win being an 11-6 Stephen F Austin squad (who did beat LMU and ACU).

Predictions? Are you going to the game?


I think UTEP stops the bleeding but MTSU makes it close at the end

UTEP 74 - MTSU 68

$15 for adults and $5 for children is cheap.

Anyone know if any good players are coming?

What is Junior day? Would this be considered an official visit for the players?

NMSU is playing the Panthers at 5 on ESPN+ today. I'm gonna watch part of it and see what we're up against. This should be a win for the Miners.

Maybe some blowout losses were technically worse, but this has to be the worst choke job, at least.

So with all the negativity about UTEP football, and the Athletics Department as a whole, it's nice to have some positive news from time to time. Hopefully they'll raise the needed funds in time to participate.

You gotta be kidding me man…wow

A buddy of mine found this gem on YouTube. Great highlites of UTEP from that year. An interesting story about KVIA leading up to that game someone did good research on.

Hope CRT is looking at this local kid — Johnny "Smooth" Melvin‘s son.

Take another 15 year break from this shit. 60 years a UTEP fan. Half of those were somewhat fun.

The FIRST half.

Fvck this shit.

Too bad this won’t happen. UTEP would almost be assured bowling every season. 🤡

So going through various message boards, I have to say a lot of people have considerable hate towards UTEP (particularly former WAC conference mates)

Why?

Honestly, while I expect some hate here and there, it surprises me because we've never had the winning to inspire such dislike.

I think its interesting that some fans of the former WAC 16 place some blame on UTEP for the creation of MWC. (something about how we demanded certain concessions/schedules) I don't remember this so am I remembering things incorrectly?

Any ideas on this?

Utep leading at the half. They are shooting pretty well.

When is the cold streak cominf

I'll go first. 1 shot every time Mondo says "Tremendous"

3 years in and that's where Golding has us. Watch out Northern Colorado and your gaudy #199 ranking, we see you.

GMU hasn’t been to the NCAAs since 2011 and they hired Tony Skinn this past offseason. His first head coaching job. Brought in 10 new players. Currently 12-2 and 1-0 in the A10. Have had 4 home games with under 3,000 in attendance. Have road wins over Toledo and Tulane. Only has 1 non-D1 win.

How is George Mason able to bring in new players and win in year 1 with a first time coach, but we are in year 3 with an experienced coach and suck ass?

Wow! Crickets for this first conference rivalry game since 1961 (Borderland Conference); however, understandable. NMSU is in total rebuild mode and NMSU needs to rebuild trust & Golding has lost 3 on the road and got his shorts handed to him against a middle of the pack WAC team.

This is in LC and expect NMSU coming out firing early. Golding will hit back with his entire bench to tire out the Aggies, but UTEP’s lousy shooting will show up again.

UTEP 66
NMSU 67 (OT)

Just starting the thread. They are saying a lot of tickets have been sold. Hopefully we have a good crowd and more importantly a good result. Go Miners.

I'm not sure Goldings buy out at the end of the year. I figure UTEP would be on the hook for the remainder of his contract. With that said, I think he'll get brought back for at least another year. I wish we could let him go at the end of this year that is not going as well as we all hoped. If he stays and he probably will another year and loses again it'll be 3 straight losing seasons, and I don't think Senter will have a choice. We also didn't think he'd fire Dimel and he did, so maybe Senter is more inclined than we think to try and get a winner at a cost, but doubt it. I for one will say it appears I was wrong about Golding. I preferred him over Tang when hired, but that clearly was wrong. Golding has not sold UTEP basketball in a way to bring quality talent here. It's ridiculously embarrassing to lose to LMU by 20, Abilene Christian and Texas A&M CC (Who's in a down year) and Seattle at home. He's a nice guy, but he has grossly underachieved and I'm out on him as HC until he proves otherwise. Ra Ra, nice guy or whatever he's failed here, miserably!

NCAA denied his eligibility this year and UTEP requested a reevaluation. NCAA has not yet replied to UTEP's appeal. What are the odds that the NCAA will grant UTEPs request and allow Hebb to play this season?
