Miners open at Jax St, Battle of I-10 on a Wednesday!

Those first two games vs Jacksonville St and UIW aren’t going to be pushovers. There’s a possibility this team could start 0-2. And if that happens 0-5 is a strong possibility. I know I’m being a Debbie Downer right now but this team needs upgrade at QB now.
 
Home opener against UIW, and I am afraid utep will lose that game. Wouldn't be surprised by an 0-4 start.

Get to see Cowing again. Cool.

I see maybe 1 win next season, and that's if utep plays well in Florida.
 
The NMSU game should be a Thanksgiving Weekend tradition.

Instead we get Liberty on Thanksgiving Weekend and NMSU on a Random Wednesday.
That is the problem when you “whore yourself out”. CUSA decided not to several years ago and got stuck with CBSSN, Stadium, and Facebook games for small money. They did have more say on when their games were played.

It didn’t work out like they thought and allowed the SBC to poach teams. So now, CUSA was stuck and basically had to take the latest deal, because all of the teams left are trash.

So now ESPN can say “NMSU at UTEP is going to be on Wednesday” and both schools have no say in the matter.
 
Shoot most of their coaching staff is at Texas State and they already out recruiting UTEP like every other G5 school in the state. They have brought in some legit dudes already, not JUCOs with 200 twitter followers.
There is 0 reason for that. UTEP has had a 100 year head start on their football program in Division 1. But that’s UTEP for you.

To be fair, that's been Dimels only strength. El paso is a tough sell.
Dimel has produced more NFL draft declarations the past two seasons than undrafted NFL free-agents and only two of his QBs he’s recruited have actually seen the field (I think), dude has zero strengths as a HC. He has a kid on his roster who is a walk-on QB from El Paso high and he didn’t win a single game his senior year……not buying that El Paso is a tough sell either i mean know what you mean though no disrespect, Dimel ain’t selling shit but playing time to JUCO kids in my opinion,

1. UTEP and NMSU playing on a weekday is stupid. This whole schedule is bad for us.

2. You always complained about UTEP not being on ESPN. You finally got what you wanted and you still complain.
When did I complain about that? The more ESPN games, the better. Those are games I definitely won’t go to and can watch them at home.
 
Thank you Wilson and Senter for these awesome Wednesday night games due to your low expectations from UTEP Athletics. Can’t wait and neither can the 2,000 fans that will be in attendance. #CUSAforlife.
 
this year team has to win at least 7 wins to show any kind of improvement. that being said, this years schedule is very tough to get 7 wins. They agreed to this schedule and the money games.. So, lets see what the Miners can come up this....
