I visited the Washington State board (coudn't access the Oregon State board) and there's a thread about the PAC12 rebuild. Only two posts mentioned UTEP. The rest mentioned pretty much everyone else including FCS teams as options for the new PAC12. They have delusions of the PAC12 going back to Memphis and Tulane and UTSA with better offers. Going with Sacramento State or Texas State or USF, etc. The two posts that mentioned UTEP were, well, they shit on UTEP.
Man. We are viewed with incredible disdain. I'm not blind. I know how far we've fallen. But to read the words of others on the Washington State board cut like a hot knife through butter.
I won't sleep well tonight. This really fvcking hurts, man. How could the UTEP leadership have allowed our athletics programs to fall so far as to be viewed with so much disdain. I can't use the word "hate." Their fans likely don't have any reason to "hate" UTEP. But fvck me, man. They have absolutely zero respect for anything UTEP could bring to their uppity conference.
I'm not sure anymore whether I'd like to see UTEP in the PAC12 or just laugh at them for thinking they're so fvcking awesome when they just got dumped by 10 of their 12 schools.
I have so much going through my mind right now and somehow don't know what else there can be to say...
