And the Miners will be 4-5 with games against bottom-dwellers FAU and Rice to follow. Six wins is a very real possibility; the Miners just need to find a way to take down ODU.

I'm a UTEP fan first and foremost, and it is more important to me that they win and succeed than to cheer for them to fail so that I can complain about Kugler.WTF is wrong with you people???? I mean seriously...
What I am saying is last week it was "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!"" This week is "We have a good shot making a bowl game!"
Look man, I want us to win, but let's be realistic and take it ONE game at a time. Last week's win is awesome, but as my daddy used to say, even a blind squirrel can find an acorn once in a while. In other words, if we start winning same games, THEN let's talk about a bowl game.
The over reaction both ways on this board is simply amazing.....
We were all too optimistic following that UTSA game. It's a little unrealistic to have expected a 2-5 team to go 4 - 2 at worst down the stretch to make a bowl.
So everyone was giving me crap because I pointed out how overly optimistic some had become after one win. Some of you were talking bowl game after ONE exciting game we happen to win.
So our schedule is still very weak down the stretch. Does anyone here really think we should/could win out?
Yes...I TOLD YOU SO......look, we need a change and we need it now. I don't care if we win out and become bowl eligible, Kugler must go....
Get off your High Horse you didn't tell anybody Shit!!! Miner fans were hoping they would possibly win against ODU, but knew this was the toughest remaining game. No one said Utep was gonna win out.What was basically suggested is they now have a shot at getting bowl eligible and technically still do against 4 not very good teams! Now does this change things and mean Utep is all of the sudden a Great team, by no means and change is still needed. Utep fans were simply happy that this team found a way to win last week and give us some small gleam of hope to salvage a dissappointing season. Fans are supposed to hope, that's the point of being a fan. Your no physcic and u didn't tell n e one anything we didn't know, GTFOH!So everyone was giving me crap because I pointed out how overly optimistic some had become after one win.

The money quote.I don't care if we win out and become bowl eligible, Kugler must go....
6-6 and a bowl gives the team extra practices, a big perk bowl teams enjoy, and the team will have been to a bowl two out of the last three seasons. I'll take that agony and hope they can build something out of it for the future.I hate to say this, but maybe its better they go 4-8 so Stull is forced to make a chance, cause 6-6 just prolongs the agony.
Its funny but everyone has one fear after another about the future of this football team. C'mon man, lets ban together support this team and the next game and show everyone "UTEP MATTERS!!."
I for one am tired of all the bitching going on on this board...
from Hollywood ......... the basketball team will develop into high energy - high scoring team that will be crazy to watch... it will be the hardest ticket to get by January.
Let have some fun this Saturday at the game...

There ARE way too many Bowl games...whether the Miners make a Bowl or not! I honestly believe there are players who would rather have their season over and done with than to be practicing a couple of more weeks in December just to play another 6-6 team.
I agree.Exposure? Maybe, who honestly watches all these pre Christmas lower tier bowls? I don't. Revenue? Even with some of the mid major bowls, it's been well documented that some teams barely break even. Sorry, but a Bowl game at 6-6, or worse, 5-7 Just doesn't excite me. It's akin to making anything less than the NIT.
I enjoy watching all the bowls but that's not the point. Recruits and potential recruits will certainly watch. The lowest rated bowl viewership last season was the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl with just over 1 million viewers watching Akron vs Utah St. That's worth something and UTEP or any other G5 team should take advantage of that if they can. Does not really matter if you or I are not excited about it.Exposure? Maybe, who honestly watches all these pre Christmas lower tier bowls? I don't. Revenue?
