Yeah I take it with a grain of salt and hope we can keep it up. Like I said it was just nice to see our name!
UTEP vs NMSU
- Thread starter picks up
- Start date
SOLD OUT! Ticketmaster shows no seats available for sale. I'm sure there's some for resale. My guess is about 3500 Aggie fans will be there.
That's crazy. I don't think it'll be packed. I did however score free tickets from a corporate sponsor, so we will be there. Too bad we can't hit G2
Typical UTEP negativity on this board 🙄
They can bearly get 3500 at the pan am, doubt they roll that deep.
If it was Kentucky I'm sure it would be a sellout. Western New Mexico, probably not.
Imagine what their attendance would be like if they went 14 seasons without a NCAA trip. It’s barely the 3rd season there.
OR, if they went 14 seasons without a player related rape or murder.
I don’t give a shit if this team murders 13 of their class mates in May. Just make the damn tournament!
Your priorities are terrible. Get help. lol
Now that it's sold out, don't forget to wear blue everyone. Tell your friends.
What should the priority of a higher institution of learning be? Asking for a friend. 🤡
Great idea, doesn't work. My family and I have tried a few times, no one else joined in, and I have a loud ass voice (ask Train, Corona, and Fanatico, who have sat near me at UTEP/UTSA basketball games).
Good one Maniac. IMO, since it has been so long since UTEP has done the chant, I'm guessing very few fans are left that remember what it is. I really think the band would need to initiate it. Apparently, in 2014, they reinstated it for home games:
UTEP men's basketball team opens season tonight 'Amen' chant returns this season
The UTEP men’s basketball team will tip-off the 2012-13 season tonight against Oral Roberts on Bring Back the ’80s night. UTEP players are dressed as iconic 80’s characters in the team’s 2012-13 schedule poster. The men’s basketball season ticket stock features Miner legends from the 80’s...
It's been many years, but I think they did away with the Amen chant around the same time they let Strelzin go. I remember opposing schools/coaches complaining about Strelzin's tactics of getting the crowd involved. It's possible that the origin of the chant may have had something to do with it getting axed. It would be great for the younger fans to get a taste of what UTEP basketball was like back in the day. Hopefully, that starts this Saturday.
You said there wasn't an arena in the civic center and I just proved you wrong. Just take the L and move on. 👋👋👋👍👍👍

It's funny that people complain about ticket prices, but season tickets were more expensive over a decade ago.
There isn't an arena in the convention center. You have no clue what you're talking about.
Whats the purpose of an arena?? Civic Center host shows and events. How is it not an arena?? Civic Center was the first arena in El Paso. Wiki says it can seat 8k . How does it feel to be wrong again??

There was and never was an arena Downtown. There is a HUGE difference between an arena and convention center.

How many rows does the "arena" have Downtown. Do you have a seating chart?
Fili let me help you out. The civic center is not considered an arena, because there aren’t permanent seats. The Abraham Chavez Center does and seats about 2,000 or so. The Civic Center has an Auditorium that can be opened up and portable seats are brought in and then take out after the event. What is the city doing with all that money? I might’ve missed what they said or didn’t see the vote. What I think should’ve happened is that they took the 180 million and completely revamped the Coliseum to seat 10,000 for sporting events and 13,000 for concerts. Either way El Paso leaders are crooks and it’s sad a city the size of El Paso doesn’t have a respectable arena off campus.Whats the purpose of an arena?? Civic Center host shows and events.

If I recall correctly Strelzin was replaced as the announcer for UTEP games in the early to mid 80s. 'Amen' continued after he left. I somehow forgot that they tried to bring it back in 2014. Too bad it didn't stick.Good one Maniac. IMO, since it has been so long since UTEP has done the chant, I'm guessing very few fans are left that remember what it is.

I agree, it's too bad that young fans have no idea what UTEP Basketball games were like back in the day.
