aggies

UTEP head coach Sean Kugler made no bones about it when he returned to his alma mater -- his Miners would put it all on the line. As in the offensive and defensive line.

The UTEP Miners made an impression last weekend, if not on national television (provided America was still awake at 12:45 am MDT) then certainly on their coach.

Before heading to Spokane, Washington for their second round NCAA Tournament match-up with San Diego St., NMSU head coach Marvin Menzies joined Steve on SportsTalk on Monday. Menzies talked about the Aggies trip to the tournament, coaching against Steve Fischer and much more...

Courtesy UTEP Athletics --  KC Ross Miller scored 26 points and Daniel Mullings chipped in with 17 as NM State beat UTEP for the second time in nine days, 77-68, on Saturday night in the Don Haskins Center.  Head coach Tim Floyd and Miners Cedrick Lang and Justin Crosgile commented on the loss.

The NMSU football program is not good. It's so not good, the Aggies are having to bribe their students to get them to come to the games. And even that's not going well, in reality or in our cartoon!

So, Johnny Manziel can't take cash for his autograph? But the NCAA, which is investigating him for doing just that, CAN make money by selling a jersey with "Football" written like a name on the back? Not that Manziel is the most likable guy in the world, but his money-for-my-mark story sure is making a mockery of a bad system -- something we HAD to put to music!

CBS' Greg Gumbel had an unfortunate slip of the tongue on the first big day of the NCAA Tournament, saying St. Louis beat "New Mexican State". At least he wasn't calling them "New Mexico" like analyst Dan Bonner kept doing during the game.

Highlights from the players, insight from the coaches and more -- Duke Keith recaps the Battle of I-10a, as the UTEP Miners clawed their way back to beat the NMSU Aggies at the Don Haskins Center Wednesday night.

The UTEP Miners dominated with big plays on both offense and defense to win their first game of the season, 41-28, over New Mexico State in the Battle of I-10.

You could tell this loss stung Mike Price just by looking.
