15 years ago we couldn’t envision someone like UTSA being in the same conference as us. 5 years ago we couldn’t imagine someone like UTSA being in a better conference than us.
I know that UTEP is an academic institution, and strong academics is the priority, however PickMyAxe’s ‘maybe’ joke about Idaho saving us a spot in the Big West may end up being somewhat prophetic.
We have a president who doesn’t value what a strong athletic program can bring to an institution. We have an athletic director who has probably the easiest AD job in America with the lowest expectations. We have a head fb coach that can justify the most bone headed of play calling and chalk it up as ‘about what he expected’.
I honestly don’t think we’ve seen our own basement yet.
