The expectations have brought us up to this point when UTEP hosts New Mexico (2-1) on Saturday at the Sun Bowl to wrap up non-conference play. Now, the Miners are at a fork in the road for their young season.

For the first time ever, Miner fans will have a chance to choose their season ticket seats in person for UTEP basketball games.

UTEP quarterback Gavin Hardison received a lot of criticism following the 54-13 loss to Boise State on MinerTalk. The hate was unwarranted given the situation Hardison has been in.

In the midst of UTEP's 30-3 blowout victory over New Mexico State, one key Miner was dinged up and didn't return after halftime.

UTEP got off to a fast start in the Battle of I-10 and never looked back, downing NM State 30-3 to snap a three-game losing streak in the rivalry game on Saturday night in front of 19,034 fans at Aggie Memorial Stadium.

For a third consecutive season, MinerTalk is back on 600 ESPN El Paso after every UTEP football and men's basketball game.
