Let’s see how the reaction is. I remember the last time they consolidated the banners and OH THE UPROAR from the season ticket holders. Went back to the old ones within two weeks
New Banners in Don

Who asked for the banners to be replaced? Were the old ones falling apart or something?
Do some people just invent problems so that they can feel good about themselves when they "fix" them?

Ummm, not good. My issue with the banners was that they were different colors and some were more crooked than others, looked slapped together. My other issue was when Floyd would honor ex-Miners and hung their jersey in the DHC. Guys who averaged 5pts a game, shouldn’t have their jersey hung. I hope those got taken down.
I think it’s a good idea to consolidate some of them. Maybe the NIT, WAC stuff, and conference tournaments, but it’s looks completely barren and the 66 Title banner doesn’t seem to be that much bigger, if at all. I’m all for de-emphasizing something that happened 60 years ago, but you should still have a pretty big banner for an accomplishment like that.
Get ready for some mailed letters from angry 80 year olds Senter!

The national Championship banner looks nice. I can understand why people won’t like any new banners especially if they’re consolidating everything but the old banners were looking old, and there had been several font and color changes through the years. Not to mention they we’re all hanging at different angles.
Actually many people on this very board whined. Jim Cardwell gave enough money to where they won't change back. Funny thing is Jim isn't a UTEP grad though his dad's late business partner, Rip Russell, played football for Texas Western. They were the founders of Petro.
His signature is on the ****ing court and the arena is named the Don Haskins Center.
I distinctly remember a Haskins banner when he made the Hall of Fame. What happened to it?
I don't know. They definitely used to hang it with the other banners, but I don't know when they stopped.
Hangs outside the South entrance with the NCAA Hall of fame ones
How about a banner for the 92 team ? Most programs use a banner to acknowledge their teams that make the regionals
