It's also the day Marty McFly went to the 1950's and met his parents.

Some of my oldest daughter's 1st words were "Aggies suck". Not far behind were "f*CK byu".


*Note - before the PC police get their panties in a twist the 2nd part is a JOKE

I wasn't living in EP then, but of course have heard about the game.

Any one on here there to storm the field?

What Miner football win would be bigger than this one?

In 2000, when UTEP beat Rice. I remember being on the field at the end of the game.

How sad. We went from playing schools like BYU to FAU.

Only game I missed that year! After the whooping they received at Kent State the previous week, I could just not bring myself to witness the slaughter. Funny thing, I was at home watching tv when a buddy of mine called at halftime to tell me what was going on. He was at a motel with a girl, listening to the game. He was trying to convince me to hurry over to the game with him. I told him what about your chick? He laughed and said, it's cool, she'll wait for me.
