Is this board what makes you feel important? You challenge my posts then can back crap up big man? You are the reason UTEP stays stuck in a rut. You care nothing of the success of the programs. You come on this board pretending you know everything. Fact is you know nothing of Economics or basic math. You have season tickets??? Wow, then you bitch at all the players and coaches. Be proactive. Know what that means? Look it up. maybe you'll understand what being a true fan is. If not, go back to Mexico and cheer on some soccer team. What else you got big man?
Has anyone thought of this?

Do you buy season tickets? I'm guessing not since you live in Albuquerque, right? I have a friend who is a UTEP graduate, lives in San Antonio, buys season tickets, and comes to one or two games a year and donates the rest of his tickets. He does this to support his school. Sounds like all you're willing to give is $5 -- big supporter!
Yeah Unihorn, I live in Albuquerque but still make 2-3 basketball and at least 1 football game a year. See, if you go back and read my posts, you'd see that I said I would donate at LEAST $5.00. Why do people like me and your friend do the donating when we don't even live in El Paso? You live there but sounds like you're too cheap to put up $5.00. Yeah, I am a big supporter from long distance. I don't have to be but I went to UTEP and marched in the marching band for 4 years. You must live with Chihuahua boy. You post crap that makes no sense, you have no points to what you post and like Chihuahua boy, you make fun of people because they make you look stupid. Chihuahua boy has nothing to come back at me with except, "Keep it going so we can continue to laugh at your posts. " A typical defense mechanism idiots use when they look and feel stupid.
I spend thousands of dollars a year on UTEP football and basketball tickets -- I do my part already.
Come on! This bozo goes to to to three basketball games a year and one football game a year. And he's even willing to give another $5!!! And he was in the marching band!!!! Puts you to shame.
Actually, he never "threatened" to leave. He was asked to interview for the open job at Lamar. It did get the attention of the administration and of some boosters who came up with a nice annuity plus incentives package. Which was long overdue. Of course, he did leave briefly one time for the University of Detroit job, but returned after one day up there.

Hey, I have an idea. You like making fun of people. Go tell current band members that you think you're more important because you buy such expensive seats. At BB games, tell Pep band members that they're useless. Try it, I dare you. Poor pendejo likes to ridicule? And then Bozo is the best you can come up with. You must be a real smart couple of guys huh? Lol, funny how people on this board enjoy seeing put in your place. They must be as tired as I am of having to listen to you both. Lol.
Financially what UTEP lacks is big money donors, people who drop 5,6,7 figures on a routine basis. UTEP doesn't have that yet (we have to hope a UTEP grad makes it big and cares about the university enough to give back). Everything we regular folk give is just enough to keep the lights on, barely.
At least you make great valid points and talk like an adult unlike Chih boy who makes no points and really has nothing intelligent to say. Thanks for your post.
That post must have taken you an hour to write, looking for all those ooooooo's...lol. You are a bright one aren't you?
Well do it. I think this is pretty interesting..
That's what we really need. Brian Young paid for UTEP's headsets awhile back and Paul Foster (who didn't even go to UTEP) paid for the practice facility and Larry K. Durham paid for the beautiful weight room. If we can get at least 5-10 more big money donors, it will greatly benefit UTEP.
Well once you figure out the price of your season tickets, let us know
So, to show my support for the future success of UTEP, if someone on this board can speak to anyone in the UTEP athletic department, figure out how a bank account can be set up, I'll be the first to send in $20. Hopefully someone here knows someone at UTEP that can get this rolling. As I tried to say before, if we can all band together, rally the media, contact alumni and any other long distance UTEP supporters, get the city involved and have 60, 000 people drop $5.00 to the cause, that's at least $300,000 more the athletic didn't have before. I would think more people would donate more than $5.00 and probably more than $20.00 as long as they knew this was all set up correctly and that all money donated could be accounted for. I'm tired of wasting my time arguing with the regulars who just don't get it. Who knows, we could actually afford to pay Floyd, Kugler or any other future head coaches a million dollar salary and finally have some coaching stability here in El Paso.
CHi, you do a lot of poking at UTEP and claim to be a season ticket holder yet you know nothing about past nor even recent past about UTEP athletics. The Rab affair literally played out on public sports radio, local news, internet and in the papers and you had no idea?
WHERE DID YOU GO CHIHUAHUA BOY?????? Get kidnapped by the cartels or did someone finally shut that big stupid trap of yours? I thought you were a big loyal Miner fan but you have disappeared. Thank God. You were an idiot anyway!!!
Baylor got where they are today because they are in the big 12…. Their attendance for basketball sucks !!
We've had the largest recruiting budget in hoops since Memphis left.
Not true actually. He did have an extramarital affair that resulted in a child, but the mother of this child was not a UTEP cheerleader
Student, yes.
Cheerleader, no.
The whole affair played out like a tabloid then at some point the part about it being a cheerleader was added, but it was never true. It just got repeated so much that it "became" true. Much the same way people "remember" that Jeep Jackson died from a drug overdose
I like your thinking but I do recall one of our coaches (some time ago) stating that it was difficult to recruit to El Paso. The coach further clarified that they would fly the recruits in at night. El Paso is a great place to live, especially if you are from El Paso BUT the city really hasn't advanced like other southwest cities. Take for example, Tucson or Phoenix. El Paso has some work to do.
Coach Don Haskins spoiled generations with his loyalty and unfortunately, he was a once in a lifetime person. We (including myself) are all waiting for the next Don. While it isn't unreasonable for us to hope for that, we need to support the Miners financially. Even with a winning season, this year, our football team was unable to draw a sellout crowd or even get close. Our fanbase can be fickle.
Will a big-name coach put butts in the seats? I do think it would help but we also need to work on the marketing of UTEP and the narrative. Media plays a big part in this as well.
