I’d love to have conversations with kids my age to see how they feel about UTEP athletics. The odds of the connection with the youth for UTEP changing is low, but one can dream.
The announced crowd of 6,100 felt more than ten thousand UTEP fans were at the Don Haskins Center rooting on the Miners against UAB last Saturday night.
As most sports venues have started to lay out their plans to have fans back inside arenas, UTEP athletics announced their plans to have 100 percent capacity at all home sporting events this 2021-22 athletics season.
Less than 72 hours away from tip-off of the 2020-21 season, UTEP officials made the decision to play the start of the basketball season in the Don Haskins Center without fans in attendance.
Gauging the pulse of the UTEP football fan base, the excitement has hit a brick wall and frustrations continue to rise. Can you blame them, though? This is the same program that has only seven winning seasons since their last bowl victory in 1967.
