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.

just curious to gage your thoughts what El Paso can realistically land in the future. the El Paso Chihuahuahus are now entering it's 5th season and has been a tremendous succes. Top Golf just recently opened as well. Mountians Star Sports also just announced a new pro soccer team in hopes of luring MLS down the road. Of course we know what's going with the quality of Life bonds and the Arena fiasco. Unfortunately we also had no chance in landing Amazon's second headquarters.

Nah, just kidding, I don't feel bad.

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?

After looking at the schedule I honestly expected this team to be 11-1 at this point. There were no quality teams besides Louisville really. If Utep was to play Utah Valley again I do think we beat them and San Jose St. However we lost and can’t get those back. CUSA is much improved this year vs last year. Liberty is back to being Liberty in the years they were always in the NCAA and upsetting 5 seeds. La Tech, M. Tennessee and W. Kentucky are all formidable. Utep is probably on par with those 3, I’m not so sure if we are on Liberty’s level this year. I have Utep finishing 4th and going 12-6 or 11-7 in conference. This will at least give us another good position to make a run at a Conference USA Tournament Championship, but we’ll probably have to go through a liberty team that will be squarely on the bubble and intent on getting revenge for last year.

The ladies are currently 13-4 with a two game sweep of UNM and a win at Texas Tech under their belts. Two of those losses were close matches @Arizona State. Is the program turning the corner? They only won 11 games all season last year.

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.

Some early concerns:

Only 4RBs on roster and only 2 TEs??

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

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.

Discuss...🤔 🤔

Twitter/X fans are just trolls not real fans. So my expectations are low for those fans .

My expectations for the student fans are high.

I think for what Utep has put out there the fans and support have been good. I think El Paso could do better but Senter needs to produce winners.

Since there is no EPCC message board.
