Just curious, how is it that a young coach like Kinne, who accomplished far more at the FCS level than Walden ever did, and is now 16-10 after two seasons with two bowl wins at a program that doesn’t exactly have a rich football history, is still flying under the radar? Meanwhile, Walden, sitting at 10-15, is suddenly being talked about as a must hire guy? Feels like some narratives are doing a lot more work than the resumes.
You really need to learn how to express yourself more clearly, because right now you’re making absolutely no sense. Let me break it down for you. I stand by everything I said. If Walden goes 7-6 this year, he’s not getting hired away plain and simple. One decent season doesn’t suddenly make him a hot commodity.
A conference without stability, tradition, and full commitment? You're describing the last 15 years of Conference USA. And things aren't getting better. Half the teams would switch conferences at the drop of a hat.
Back then, UTEP was having a ton more success than they are having now.
I’m glad you clarified your mistake. I was clear you were contradicting yourself. You said in one breath, “He Won’t be hired away after year two, if he went 7-6 and won a Bowl game” Followed by then saying “When did I say he wouldn’t get interest from a bigger school after year 2” Followed by, “I hope they go 7-6 and win a bowl so you can see how much interest he gets” lol all good man it’s hard to keep up sometime, but I get ya and we shall see! It’s a big IF at this anyways, so whatever.
Exactly. This board would be so pissed if that happened. Waiting for a Pac 12 invite that would never come.
I still don’t see anywhere that I said Walden would be hired after Year 2. I’m pretty sure I mentioned early in the thread that it would take a magical season, something along the lines of 12-2.
In the short term, I wouldn’t be thrilled if NMSU ended up getting the invite we declined. That would sting no doubt. But looking at the bigger picture, I think it’ll ultimately be irrelevant.
Corona, you’re lost brotha no body ever said you said that!!! As a matter of fact I said, you said the opposite. I’m not sure what you’ve been arguing or why you got confused. 🤔 Somewhere you got super lost. I never said you said that I literally said you, said he Would Not!!!
I’m not lost for shit
Post 1661 you replied
It’s summer. No topic is dead until mid August.
This is like the Iran vs Israel war , JCorona or Natty don't know when to give it up.
Corona, yes brotha you are absolutely lost lol I never said that you said he’ll be hired after year 2. What are you arguing bro? lol it’s low key hilarious that you do not get it! I’m saying the complete opposite and agreeing that you said He Will Not be hired or considered by another school after year 2!!!! I’ve been saying if he wins a bowl game he will in fact get looks from Bigger Schools!!! We obviously disagree on that! Bro idk how you got lost a long the way lol 😆 I literally was never arguing that you ever said he’d get hired away from Utep year 2!!! Hahah 😂
You’re right my bad, enough. A when so so when do we hear about lawsuits being settled and how much money Utep is getting from the teams that left?it'll go on....
JCorona gonna bomb you 12 hours into the ceasefire
It’s clear you’re the one who’s confused in this conversation and your reading comprehension leaves a lot to be desired. I’ll leave it at that and with a quote from your own words.
You’re free to not read it. Misty binks goes on and on and on with his little stupid Tik tok videos. But I learned a little secret. Don’t read the thread. Try it instead of being a little whinny bitch.it'll go on....
lol ok 🤡… Move on Bro and add something productive to this thread 🧵 For instance how you believe Utep will be sharing a Conference one day with Cochise College or something, making the same as we make now and would’ve been better off traveling to play the Mighty Blue Hens of Delaware!!! Lmao 🤣
You really outdid yourself it’s impressive how confidently you speak without the burden of understanding. You said what you said and now you’re scrambling like a kid caught in a lie, trying to backpedal through a maze of your own nonsense. I’m done wasting time arguing with someone who’s clearly outmatched by their own words.
No Corona, I’m not back peddling. I actually think you’re a complete Idiot, but I said to the other posters on here I’d drop it. I still know everything I said and how you contradicted yourself and that’s what I was pointing out, but I was trying to bring it back to topic. Just no longer entertained by your Special Needs comprehension is all. So like I said move on back to you’re other terrible takes!
Sounds good. It’s painfully clear you don’t even remember what you said even after quoting your own statement, which honestly explains a lot. Go ahead and crawl back to that gem of a take about “the next KD” and how Joe Golding was definitely taking us to the NCAA tournament last year. Your track record of clueless predictions is truly unmatched, it’s like watching someone confidently miss the point every single time.
Funny how you stick to the KD thing when I never said Dude was the next KD. I said there were similarities in his game. Obviously that was even off and I was Man enough to admit it. I don’t know about saying Golding was taking us to the NCAA though 🤔 I can name many instances where I knew stuff you absolutely didn’t. For instance Jacksonville St. joining the conference before anyone in here or it was reported or that Golding already had an extension on his desk way back when and we had to just accept he’s staying. I know a lot more than you about Utep Athletics and many of the things I can’t say, because I’m told not to by the person who tells me. My takes on how well a player or team will do are no different than takes from a talk show host on ESPN or Fox Sports, sometimes they’re spot on and sometimes they’re off. However where I try to contribute real and sometimes over hopeful takes about Utep Sports. You like to tear down and speak negatively. I’ve been very contrite about being out on Golding now. I did give him 3 years though before coming to that decision. Your take on thinking Utep should’ve stayed is about to look real dumb when the numbers for the new deal come out, which I can tell you will not be under 3 million each school and probably closer to 4!
Wow, thank you so much for the groundbreaking update on Jacksonville State. Seriously, I was tossing and turning all night, wracked with anxiety over which FCS school C-USA was going to scoop up next. You’ve really put a lot of minds at ease.
Thanks for your kind words 🙂 Those were just small examples. I don’t think you’ve contributed anything ever, but a negative attitude. Anyways always open to meet up in DFW to talk Utep Athletics, watch a game, have a beer and see if you’re as tough as you act on here in person lol I wager to say you’re not lol 😆 Also I’ll be in Austin for the Texas Utep game if you get a chance to go first Beers 🍺 on me! Anyways make sure to post your response when the numbers for the new MWC contract come out, we all would like to hear you walk back your comments like usual lol 😆
You call it a negative attitude, I call it being a realist. There’s a big difference between recognizing patterns of failure and living in some delusional “rah-rah, everything’s fine” fantasy land. Sorry if the truth stings. Maybe if UTEP didn’t have a mile long resume of underachievement, there’d be less to point out. But hey, if reality offends you, that’s not really my problem.
Never said anything about fighting nor did I threaten you for the record. I offered you a beer to talk about Utep in person. I said I’m sure you’re not as tough in person, in reference to how you’re quick to talk crap when someone doesn’t agree or you don’t like what they’re saying.
I’m always down for beers and some trash talk with fellow Miner diggers . And for the record, I kept things professional until you decided to start throwing around insults like you were trying to win a message board tough guy contest. But hey, it’s all good. Cease fire activated.
As long as you didn’t steal my lunch money as kid, we’re good!
Let’s just say I know all about the infamous sweaty shirt and the girls practically throwing hands over it, Mr. Heartbreak Kid.
Ok we are definitely meeting for a Beer 🍺 Now. It’s game against Utah St. let’s see it up. I believe you also live here in DFW, right. See this is a great example for Iran and Israel to find common ground and peace ☮️ lol 😆
I lived in Temple from 2009 to 2011, then moved back to El Paso for a few years before leaving again at the end of 2016. I’ve been in Austin ever since. I really miss traveling to away games at SMU, UNT, UTSA, UH, and Rice. Those were special times and I know it’s something that probably won’t happen again especially with the move to the Mountain West.
Fortunately though everyone in the crash escaped with only “Miner” Injuries see what I did there!? lol
Sounds good. I’m also planning to be at the Dynamo stadium when we play SHSU, one last road CUSA game for old times sake.
