Just thinking, since El Paso overreacts to any kind of inclement weather, if there’s even a hint of snow for Saturday, would the game get postponed? 😳❄️
UTEP vs NMSU
- Thread starter picks up
- Start date
so the word for the day is "amen?"
I wouldn't say El Paso overreacts. It's not often we get this type of weather, so it's better to err on the side of caution.
Snow will be gone by tomorrow. It's going to be a high of 54 degrees on Saturday.
Go to Ticketmaster and look for yourself

$700 is in Row 30 and above. Lower level seats are $1,000+. I already made about $20,000.
Had I known there would be this much interest, I would have bought a row of tickets and resold them on StubHub.
They got 4,004 for the LA Tech game at home. I doubt they travel that many
I remember last hearing it in 90-91.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...kvia.com
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.
"They" didn't do away with it. People just stopped doing it. Much like people say "bring back the Miner Maniacs"... they weren't done away with, they just got older and stopped going to the games
The best way to solve the problem with walkup lines is to sell out 2 days before the game.
Had fun with this UTEP-Eggie handicap looking ahead at a solid CBB betting card last night.
Opponent Adjusted number: UTEP -7
Non adjusted number: UTEP -9.5
Rivalry adjusted with a sellout crowd: UTEP -5.5
Total between 135.5-137 in all scenarios should be a rock fight, Hooten will muck this one up and knows Golding well obviously.
Hoping they cancel my underhand softball tourney in Dallas area saturday so I can fully watch.
Miners should win, anything less is a major letdown.
Four likes on this post and I’ll post my Saturday card when the lines come out later.

I thought the DHC doors opened usually one hour before tipoff?
If UTEP considered renovating the DHC, Memorial Gym and the Coliseum would be in play.
It normally is an hour before. It's smart to open earlier for a sold out game.
Of course, there will be people who get to the game at 6:55 complaining about the long lines.
UTEP should open the doors at 4:00. They’ll need the extra time for the staff how to figure out the mobile ticket hand scanning devices. Also to accommodate the single will-call ticket window. And also because of the single file entrance into The Don, and everyone must be carefully screened to near cavity searches to ensure nothing illegal is brought inside, like a sealed unopened water bottle. After all, it’s the UTEP way. 🤡
