After seeing it, I dont hate it like I thought I would. Its not bad, but I think they should have gone another way. Maybe putting them in throwback uniforms would have been better. I cant wait for the season to start.

I have not seen the poster, but based on BO's description it sounds like crap. Binks, is there anything that UTEP does that you dont like?

Yup, the Miners were able to take care of a bad Tulane team and did it in front of less than 24,000 fans. Mistabinks might be excited with the Miners 2-6 record, but I am not and neither is El Paso. Idaho fired their coach today, if only we were so lucky.

Because Stull has no plan. That's why UTEP will continue to tolerate 2nd rate football.

Hate to say I told you so, but I told you so. UTEP is 1-6 with Tulane next Saturday. Hopefully Price and his crappy sons will be fired before then. I could see us losing to Tulane, but they're awful. Miners should win by a touchdown.

Good thing we kept Price around for the last 3 year's. I've been calling for his head for that long. Folks, I know what I'm talking about.

Its tomorrow night. If the Miners get blown out, Price deserves to be fired on the plane ride home. I think they will get their asses kicked.

I agree, but I think Still will keep this turd around until the end of the year. Tulsa should wipe out the Miners on Thursday.

Thanks for joining. I think basketball practice starts this Friday or next. I'm not sure because the EP Times sucks and football is in full swing. Even though UTEP has a poor football program, it's still in season and basketball is not. Should be an exciting year, or at least interesting.

Well, I've been preaching for years that keeping Price is a bad football decision and an even worse business decision. Now Stull is stooping to giving away free tickets to the games. If the Miners win, some people will claim its a big victory and hold out hope of making some small time bowl game. SMU & UTEP have a lot in common, they both suck.

Sounds like a plan bunks. Except I would have MWC/MAC/SBC team for the last game. We're already playing an MWC team in UNM. Would only like to play Nevada, Fresno, Hawaii and Air Force out of that bunch.

Apparently at the game on Saturday, ECU's AD said that BYU was looking for help with football scheduling and some sort of scheduling agreement between CUSA & BYU could happen. I hope this turns out to be true. I would love for BYU to be on our future football schedules. Not sure why we haven't done a deal already, but that's UTEP.

I just checked the Miners official website and he's listed on the roster.

1-4. Time to show Price the door. CUSA is horrible and we can't beat any of the good teams. Why does that idiot Still keep Price on board? Coach Price is a joke.

At least this game is going to be on TV!
Too bad its being played in North Carolina. Miners are 0-whatever is EST games. Oh well, more of the same. I don't see the Miners winning, even against this very average ECU team.

As long as the hotel occupancy tax passes in November, the ballpark will be paid for by mostly out of towners. Glad it passed and El Paso is getting this team.

Good win for the Miners, but it's NMSU. Beating them should be expected. I am not impressed one bit. Miners need to beat Wisconsin this Saturday to make me believe they can make a bowl game. Miners are still 1-2 and that's nothing to be excited about. CUSA is an awful league so they will have their chances to win games down the stretch.
Only 32,000 showed up and unless they start winning, you can expect those numbers to fall even further. We play @ecu after Wisconsin and then play crappy SMU the week after. SMU is a must win game.

Are you guys talking about ball? UTEP and Rutgers have never played in football.

I think it will be close. UTEP should win, but NMSU will keep it close. Wouldn't be surprised if UTEP loses though.

No we aren't scheduled to play anytime soon, or are we? It's not like UTEP announces future schedules like all other FBS schools do. Anyway, UL-Monroe went out and beat #8 Arkansas this weekend, while the Miners lost to a supposedly worse Ole Miss squad. It got me to thinking about the differences between the two schools.
La-Monroe re-joined FBS in 1994 playing as an Independent before joining the Sun Belt. Since 94 their overall record is (71-136) with ZERO bowl appearances. Since 1994, UTEP is (78-134-1) with 4 bowl appearances, but no wins. So we're a few bowl games better than them, but have the same amount of bowl victories. Impressive!
Since 1994, UL-Monroe has beat 4 SEC teams. Kentucky, Miss St, Alabama, and Arkansas. Not only have we not beaten any SEC teams during that time frame, we haven't beaten any BCS auto qualifying conference teams! Not a single one.
UL-Monroe averaged 9,826 fans a game in 2000, 7,664 in 2001, 11,298 in 2003, and 15,512 last year. The lowest I could find for UTEP during that time frame was 20,009 in 2003, which is still 8,000 more than UL-Monroe.
UTEP plays in a better conference, has better facilities, is on TV more, and has more money, how can La-Monroe beat SEC teams, but we can't? It's not the fans, if UL-Monroe can draw 15k last season and beat Arkansas, how come we can't? This is La-Monroe, supposedly one of the worst Sun Belt teams.
Conclusion: UTEP is no better than UL-Monroe in football. Fact: We Fucking Suck.

I would say that's pretty accurate. Especially if Lamaison has a poor game.

Does anyone really expect us to win? I don't. Hopefully the Miners give a solid effort. Also, the game is on tv, just a little hard to find. If you have a satellite, you should be okay.
