Why is this surprising? He got kicked off the team last year and this happens every year!
Good luck to Lew, but I think we are set ok with enough guards.
We need V Hunter to come back. (I know it's not happening but it would be good for us and him as well.
GO MINERS
Mine was when he...he.., wait give me a minute , when heeee, hmmm, .....well when he signed with UTEP .What was your favorite Lew Stallworth moment/memory?
its been a pretty quiet off-season by Floyds standards.
Summer is when the Floyd off season pretty much begins. Summer we find out which player(s) in the recruiting class won't wear a Miner uniform.........-> There will be at least 1.
Then one player from the current recruiting class will quit and go back home.
The Orange and White scrimmage happens and all the Floyd homers start saying this player and that player has improved so much and we will be in the top 25 blah blah blah
The season starts and once again we don't even make it to the finals in the CUSA Tournament.
Then "next year" is the year
People who want Floyd fired get put down and will mention for the 1000 time Floyd's coaching background.
Then repeat.
If you go to the games, you have every right to rip Floyd. It's the local "fans" who whine on this site and on call-in shows, but who don't support the team by going to most of the games, that are part of the problem.
Okay. Here we go. I don't see why anyone could think that attending all the games means your opinion is worth more than others. Its a dumb take. I bet that 99% of the people who read this message board are fans of at least 1 NFL, NHL, MLB, or NBA team, yet hardly attend the games. Does that make you less of a fan because you don't go to the game?
Did you ever think the reason that more people don't go is because they don't like the product or find certain teams interesting?
If you don't like the coaches or whatever, you should still go to the games and spend your money there? Do you know how stupid that sounds? If you disliked the food at a restaurant would you keep going there? If you disliked the owner of a business would you continue going to his business and making him money???
Sports is the same thing. Supporting a team you're not happy with means you do not want change and are satisfied with the product.
UTEP has the money,,,,we have the highest recruiting budget in CUSA for basketball. But we have zero CUSA regular season titles and zero CUSA Tournament Final appearances. What we need is a new basketball coach.
What Lew put on his Instagram account a few days ago:
"Life is all about leaning and being a better person than you were yesterday. We as humans learn by experience and through our life choices. Sometimes in life you mess up, you make mistakes.. But ultimately you grow. You become the person you want to be for the rest of your life. During my time in El Paso I've grown mentally, physically, and spiritually. I can't even begin to explain the invaluable lessons I've learned from everything and everyone in this special city. I thank coach Floyd, coach Cantu, Coach Johnson, Coach Deweese, coach Braswell, Bob Stull, the trainers, the athletic department, the fans, and most of all my teammates for helping me on this journey. I came, I saw, I conquered, and I'm grateful for this special opportunity. El Paso will always have a special place in my heart and I would never trade the people or the experiences I've had here for anything. Thank you and I love you all."
I have a small business in real estate, if I had a larger budget, I'd offer him a job just to keep him here in El Paso despite his departure.

Really??? You are obviously not emotionally, financially, fanatically or otherwise invested in UTEP athletics if you are comparing it to supporting a restaurant or business owner - really?? I'm guess you are not a UTEP alum and/or are not even originally from El Paso. No restaurant or business owner has the impact UTEP has for the community and not only did I invest money and time into my degree from UTEP (unlike I did to any restaurant or business owner), but I'm very proud and supportive of UTEP's ongoing success and invested in every way to see that happen, regardless of current situations, b/c I know money is needed to be successful in the future and long term............you, my friend (using that term very loosely in this situation) are an idiot.
You need better examples, bruh, I'm not in any way/shape/form emotionally connected to or invested in the success or proud of and supportive of future success of a taco stand or a renter if I'm a landlord - that's STRICTLY business................my support, financial and otherwise, of UTEP is not strictly business..........much broader and deeper for the university and city that I love - for you to continue to compare UTEP to the examples you spew clearly shows your very finicky support.

I buy tickets and go to games because it's fun and because I'm a fan. The dollars I spend are entertainment dollars, not food and shelter dollars. It is unrealistic to expect UTEP to have the success of a program like Texas for many reasons which should be obvious. You are a "hardliner" meaning every dollar you spend on UTEP has to have a measurable return on investment. UTEP would be unwise to court your kind because you're a dry hole.
