    Bad news for football

    Ohhhhh, so you really do have a food/beverage jones. If you get to feeling froggy, and jump, let us know. As a UTEP Miner forever, would be proud to patronize your joint. Who's with me?

    Bad news for football

    "open a place" Hmmm. Open a shoe store? Start a bakery? Or, better, what about an authentic sports bar, close to campus where we can go to celebrate UTEP basketball and football victories? Do tell.

    2019 Football Signees -- Suspense Still Lingers

    Oooof. Nothing like a UTEP fan, with a long memory. Thing about a newcomer (freshman or transfer) who comes in, and acts like a selfish jackass, teammates will sniff it out, pronto. You can fool the scouting services, you can shine the media, you might even trick the coaches ... but the...

    2019 Football Signees -- Suspense Still Lingers

    My spies tell me UTEP may yet add another player to the recruiting class of 2019, even as late as this summer. Without disclosing details, Coach Dana Dimel admitted as much today when he texted "we're working on it." Late arrivals have a deep and rich UTEP history. To wit: (*) Winston Dimel --...

    Why can't we be like NMSU...

    Please tell me UTEP admin, coaches, staff and athletes aspire to a higher standard than our neighbor up the street. Yes?

    It's not impossible, just difficult

    To "the dominance of the 1980s and early '90s," you might add the 1960s and '70s. Those decades might be outside your personal frame of reference, but not mine. Let the records show the Miners took on all comers. It was a joy to watch those Don Haskins teams. The hallmarks: sharing the ball on...

    MinerMoments - UTEP vs UNM - Feb 1, 1986 - El Paso, TX

    Full house at The Don and pre-game conference standings, showing UTEP on top, put an extra skip in my step. Can't get enough. More, more, more!

    Here's to all you poster boys (and girls) who back up your B.S. with donations. Picks up.

    Donor Recognition: UTEP

    Jolly good to learn the coaches are chipping in, too. Honorable thing to do. As for negativity in El Paso, I too recognize the attitude does exist, but from this distance, I hear and read positive aspects about the Sun City. Maybe my 300-mile buffer insulates me from the whine.

    Evan Gilyard and Kobe Magee both gone

    On the subject of loyalty, I believe there is no stronger personality trait in a player -- or a teammate or a business associate or co-worker. It has been nearly 50 years since I was a UTEP student, but my alma mater is stuck in my heart, and it's not going anywhere. I know a few (not all) of my...

    UTEP President

    Yaw-w-w-w-n. If the Miners were doing better in football and basketball, this forum would have greeted this non-event at the airport with the attention it deserved. Zero.

    What time of day was this photo? And shouldn't many of these adolescents be in school?

    UTEP President

    Ignore the media. For all the challenges facing UTEP today, we must maintain proper focus ... The newcomer's views on gay marriage are totally immaterial to me. A grain of sand in the desert. Somebody today sent me an electronic blast, asking me to denounce the new president's appointment. I...

    Football Recruiting

    In a recent phoner I had with Coach Dimel, he candidly explained his staff hiring process: He knows his top assistants will get hired away. It's the way of the coaching jungle. Ask Nick Saban at Alabama. To prepare for this eventuality, Dimel says he likes to hire guys for these "quality...

    UTEP President

    Bigwood, we're getting our new Prez. All three major military schools run the triple option. Could there be hope, still?

    Is it Time to Raise Ticket Prices?

    Delighted to read that we have a poster who buys season tix, and goes to games often enough to bark about the seats. Picks up, and viva Miners.

    A little persimmon humor ... I like it.
