Joe Banyard celebrated his birthday in grand fashion, as the senior running back scored on a 78-yard run in the fourth quarter to give UTEP a lead it would not relinquish.The result is that the Miners are one win away from bowl eligibility for a second straight year...

I have been following professional and major college sports for a long time.  To me sports is just great entertainment.

UTEP head coach Tim Floyd says he's not sure what set things off for the ref to call the first technical foul on him -- he says he set his toe outside the coaching box -- but, boy, it was ON after that first "T"! The Miners lost their second straight for the first time this season, 83-76, at East Carolina...
