So is Rice much improved or does UTSA suck this season?
Glad the games are in the Don if it's the first one.

It seems to me that the Miners do well with 3 pt shooting teams, and not so well with the teams that can bang it inside. You can take the Arizona State game as an example.
If Rice shoots a ton of 3's, we should fair well. Of course, don't hold me to that as I cannot predict what Terry will do, but if things hold true, I hope this is the case.
Give it a rest dude (or duttete). You made your point with dozens of worthless posts: you hate all things UTEP. Please go away.Terry doesn’t know what he is going to do because he doesn’t know what he’s doing. Same goes for Senter and Dimel. What a sorry cast of mediocrity and incompetence. They all need to be fired beginning with the root problem who is Senter.
He isn't the only one saying it. The majority of the board is. You are actually the minority. Enough of the Rah Rah because it isn't helping. Just because he criticizes the poor coaching by Terry and Dimel, and horrible decisions by Senter does not mean he hates UTEP.Give it a rest dude (or duttete).

I wonder how President Wilson feels about the state of the athletic dept. She has the power to change our program.It is very difficult to disagree with the criticism of Terry that is being mentioned by posters on this site. Terry should be criticized the most because he is the highest paid coach in CUSA and has produced mediocre results.
It's coming soon. She didn't hire any of these people. She's gonna want to put her own stamp on UTEP athletics when the money is right.I wonder how President Wilson feels about the state of the athletic dept. She has the power to change our program.
Will she? Has she ever committed on the poor results that her college is paying for?
I’ve never heard it if she has. I think we need to put pressure on her.
One of her early remarks about UTEP athletics was that the tail shouldn't wag the dog. She has also said that athletics is a university's front porch. Both are appropriate and true statements. She does show interest in Miner games by attending and even joining in celebrating the rare football wins. I believe she does want to see athletics succeed at UTEP but appears to be giving the AD and his hires another year to prove themselves. We will see. The 4th fb season with Dimel as HC is coming fast and coach Terry may be about to turn things around in his 3rd year.It's coming soon. She didn't hire any of these people. She's gonna want to put her own stamp on UTEP athletics when the money is right.
This seems like Natalicio’s approach to athletics and coaches. Dimel is getting an extension for sure.Dr Wilson is an highly competent and effective administrator and UTEP is lucky to have her. She is not going to make a rash decision or one in regards to public opinion or loyalty. She will evaluate the athletic department with broad ranging guidelines which are not limited to just on field/court performance. Her guidelines likely include; department budget, administors/coaches/student athletes who attend class and adhere to university/ncaa rules, community outreach, graduation rates and adherence to the mission and goal of the institution. This may not be what some fans want but it is the best way to manage a program and best for the University.

Stull had to get her assurance he would be in full control and more support from her if he accepted the AD position back in the late 90's. She stuck to her word for years but then things went south.This seems like Natalicio’s approach to athletics and coaches. Dimel is getting an extension for sure.
Anyone going to be at the game?
That still remains to be seen on the athletics side, but hopefully she is that way. We are going to see what she is made of this upcoming football season if we have another subpar year.Wilson will take a far more active roll, just as when she took the job, she evaluated everything, before making decisions, and slowly interjected herself. She will act and it will be decisive when she has evidence, cause or need to do so. Natalicio deferred to Stull.
How does that work? Hearing only season ticket holders
He isn't the only one saying it. The majority of the board is. You are actually the minority. Enough of the Rah Rah because it isn't helping. Just because he criticizes the poor coaching by Terry and Dimel, and horrible decisions by Senter does not mean he hates UTEP.
It is actually the opposite, and that he and most on this board are tired of the same crap every year and deserve better. Being a cheerleader and standing by is surely not going to help the problem. We have learned that long ago, and that it actually sets the program back even further.
Can he say it less candidly; sure. And yet is what he saying far from the truth? No.
This is the same thing with the Cowboys. Is it fair to the fans to have to put up with the same crap every single year. This has gone on long enough with our teams and a change has to be made. Don't ask me what exactly the program can do to change within the parameters of our budget, but something has to be done.
I'LL BE THERE!Anyone going to be at the game?
We need to get Kennedy going tonight
Exactly my thoughts. Problem is that Terry keeps playing him at the 4 and 5 positionsMore Agnew is good, but also I think if Kennedy continues to be a non- factor we should see Sjolund with more minutes. If he could play 30 minutes he might score 30 as well.
