EL PASO, Texas – There is just no way we could let another week go by without officially kicking off the basketball season, and we do just that with the latest issue of the Magazine.
Josh Puga gets things started off with the On Deck column and runst through the newst members of the men’s basketball team for you. Sal’s beat is women’s basketball and he dives right into the thick of things with a great article on the team and his outlook on the season. Chris covers the men’s team and writes about the challenges Tim Floyd has and how though all the change, some things remain the same.
We don’t forget about football and Josh wraps up the magazine by asking the question: Is UTEP worth of a bowl?
As always, we bring you interesting stats, your opinion and as many photos that we can fit from Jeff Taylor.
Thanks for reading! Let’s go Miners!

Gentlemen
Another great issue; Thanks.
It was a pleasure to meet you guys and it would have been nice to have had a conversation with you but my family was eager to get the tailgating started, I hope you get a chance to make it to the Tulsa game next year.
GO MINERS!!!
I would say the miners are more than worthy of a bowl game this year. For a team who has started from scratch with a limp to one who is now in full stride you can only look and marvell. CMP and the staff have done an excellent jobin recruiting and enabling the players to succeed.
John, I agree they are looking the part and have been playing well. However, Tulane and Colorado State haven’t exactly been lighting the world on fire with their play. The Miners did what they should have done versus lesser opponents and now the real push for bowl eligibility begins. Southern Miss will be a huge challenge but games against Rice, ECU, Tulsa and UCF will show how far this team has really come. If somehow they can pull the shocker this Saturday, eight wins are not out of the question.

I believe you have to take the SMU , USF and Houston games into consideration as well, the Miners played some very good football and without all the starters, which on a positive note players gained experience, however the way they played against those teams should give you some positive vibes looking forward. No doubt Southern Miss will be tough and we may lose but I feel the team has shown how far they have come since game one and if anything confidence should be high and 7-9 wins is not an impossible task as I see it.
GO MINER!!!!
