With COVID cases skyrocketing in El Paso over the last few weeks, UTEP made the smart move by choosing to play their football game Saturday in front of no fans.

The Pac-12's decision to go with a seven-game conference schedule puts a representative from their league against the ACC at the Tony The Tiger Sun Bowl.

Before the SEC gets ready to kick off its 2020 season and after only two weeks of college football, UTEP ranks 12th in the FBS among the national average attendance leaders.

Many years ago El Paso hosted a football scrimmage game between the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Oilers.

The Sun Bowl renovations were first put on display for the home opener between UTEP and Stephen F. Austin on Saturday, Sept. 5.

Earlier this week, the Mountain West released the league model for the upcoming season, featuring an eight conference schedule plus two non-conference opponents and a start date set for Sept. 26. This complicates things for the college football season in the area.

Earlier this week, UTEP Director of Athletics Jim Senter tweeted out a picture of the first portion of the stadium update that was completed.

The Ivy League conference could be heading toward playing their football season in the spring. Can this become a trend across college football?

According to a report in Forbes by Kurt Badenhausen, the Las Vegas Raiders are looking at the Sun Bowl in El Paso as an alternate site to host games in 2020.

This energetic, sports-loving tiger has really captured the hearts of El Pasoans, not only from his Sun Bowl antics but for already giving back to our community.
