First of all, I would like to thank God. All glory be to him. I'd also like to thank my family, friends, and the fans for putting up with me being a UTEP fan for these past 40+ years. It's been great. However, after much thought and prayer, I've decided to enter the transfer portal and continue my fandom elsewhere. Much love!

Dang. You’re going to miss exciting matchups with Liberty and Sul Ross for years to come.
Sometimes I think about taking 1 online grad class at a school like ASU just so I can have an (albeit bullshit) emotional attachment to another school and I can toss bummy UTEP athletics in the dumpster.
🤷🏽♂️
I’m jumping on the Coach Prime/Colorado bandwagon.

I watched Colorado today. I think I'll jump on their bandwagon. That team is fun to watch.
Damn. Every time I see this thread title, there is a momentary hope that the “announcement” is that Dimel has been sacked.
I need to lay off the Old Fashioned(s).

There will probably be more capital letters and exclamation points in that thread title.
I watched their first two games and I’m also aboard the Coach Prime bandwagon as much as I hate his arrogance. His team is fun to watch. They play with heart like Billy Gs team did.
I just sat for a fine cigar and some fine Iwai Japanese whiskey. And some Little Milton blues.
I'll probably have me a couple of those tonight. I'm hitting the Kentucky bourbon trail next week, so I'll have more than a few good ones there.
I see that you’re a sophisticated fella.😜 How is that Iwai? I’ve heard a little about it. You drinking it neat, or with a rock or two?
My 75 year old mom just did that last summer and loved it. I’ll have to give it an go some time. Enjoy. Safe travels.
Very tasty. A couple of craft ice balls from my LG fridge with a healthy pour. Really nice.
Highly recommend JJ Grey and Mofro. Just went to Colorado to see him... he's great.
You are one of the few people I’m aware of that knows who they are. Great music!!
Did you see them at Red Rock?
They were at the Caveman Music Festival in Weston, CO. Made a fishing trip out of it and stopped at Eagle Nest, NM on the way up.
Jj grey is fantastic live.
You’re killing me. I had to stop drinking.
And shut up any of ya! I don’t need any sas!😝
UTEP athletic program is on the road to JUCO status
I grew up in Austin so I'll always be a Longhorn fan, but I'm also a proud UTEP grad, so I'll never quit my Miners no matter how bad it gets. Sorry guys.
They are already there thanks to the late Dr. Nat,
Will never happen lol currently budget is 33 million vs avg jc budget of 3-5 million. Please stop smoking and posting lol
They're have the 4th largest athletic budget in the conference so yeah.... this probably doesn't hold water and would never happen. That's what makes it more sad. The state of athletics at Utep mainly Football and Basketball has no excuse to be this bad!
You should. It was a blast, though I wish I did it 20 years ago. At least my liver does. We stayed in Louisville and took a day tour into the interior one of the days there But, there's also about 5 or 6 distilleries in walking distance in downtown. I wasn't expecting much since well it's Kentucky, but was pleasantly surprised.
But at the same time having the 4th highest budget in C-USA is very misleading. At one point we were in a conference with SMU, Houston, UCF, UTSA, Tulsa and on and on and in. Being where we are money wise isn’t a result of an upward trajectory, it’s a result of poor management, perpetual losing and the fact that EVERY one of our original conference mates left for greener pastures and more prestigious conferences while we’re limping along. The fact that we are almost 20 years in C-USA and we lost to Jacksonville St says everything you need to know about the state of UTEP athletics.
Were like that loser freshman who got bullied all through high school and now that we’re Seniors we think we’ve got some street cred, but we immediately get punked out by the freshmen class.
STILL waiting for the “announcement” to be that Senter and Dimel have been shit canned.
You’re going to be waiting a long time.
I think if UTEP loses to UNLV and LaTech, a normal situation might call for it. Even at 1-5, I don’t think UTEP makes a move.
I know. I’m just making fun of myself for having that thought the other night…a couple times. I still blame it on the Old Fashioned(s).
Haha. That’s similar to what my mom said. The Kentucky part. The liver part, I can relate to.
It’s definitely on my to do list. It’s right up my alley.
