Poll: I am a Graduate and/or Fan of UTEP

[TxRdKiller]

My tongues speaking friend 2Step got me thinking with his recent post about how people at his church and elsewhere have visceral feeling about UTEP so I thought I'd ask where 'diggers sit on the subject.

Fili fits into option 4

I mean I'm tempted to vote that. Atleast the athletic department.

Ok good. Fili isn’t. Has no ties to El Paso nor UTEP

 

[UTEPfan1966]

Stupid poll. We all know where posters stand based off idiotic replies.

I’m an uneducated swine from Northeast El Paso who trolls on the inter webs and likes to gamble on collegiate athletic events. Non-smoker.

420?

 

[groundrounds]

I attended UTEP for 6 years off and on in the 80s. Been a fan since childhood because my parents graduated for there. Watched the '66 game on TV as a child.

Only on days that end in Y.

[JeeberD]

Go Rockets! My bro graduated in '88 and I would have been class of '95 except we moved to Colorado before my junior year.

 

[Cube Jack]

What if I graduated in 2000?

 

[NeptunianEmp]

Many, many moons ago, Haskins allowed my elementary school basketball team (boys & girls, all age groups) visit and hang with the team and play around on the court. Freezing my arse off for Miner v. Hoyas tickets and watching UTEP win, UTEP ❤️ was born.

My option isnt up there.

- does it really matter why we are UTEP fans?

What's your option? I figured you at least had El Paso ties because I think you said you went to the Tim Hardaway Basketball Camp. I didn't think people not from El Paso would even know about that thing.

Im from El Paso and im a UTSA dropout. I never went to Utep.

My option is, im a fan because there was no other choice.

 

[FiliUTEP]

I dont really understand the question? What are you asking??

 

[chuwy9]

Class of 2005 grad but I’ve been a fan since I was a kid. My folks would take us to games when they could afford to.

Then why wouldn't the third option be yours?

 

[TxRdKiller]

What if I graduated in 2000?

2nd poll option. "... in or after year 2000" as in "in year 2000 or after year 2000"

Those were some great years in Miners basketball history. UTEP basketball was winning WAC championships and was a regular participant in the NCAA tourney. I remember those great victories over some talented teams like Georgetown, Ohio State, Utah and others. UTEP basketball was the hottest ticket in town and fans would sell out the SEC, as it was called back then. I hope Golding can take this team back to the glory years.
