Utep takes on old rival BYU in the New Mexico Bowl on Saturday and I am scrambling to see if I can make it up there to catch Buckram and Vittatoe in their last game in Miner Orange.We have been following the Miners as a family ever since we moved to El Paso and are happy to see them playing in a Bowl game.
The Bowl won't be a sellout by a long shot but Miner fans should try to make the game to support the team if the have the opportunity. The Miner Rush has been doing a great job in covering the Bowl game and the official New Mexico Bowl website has great info about the game and the events. The Mine Shaft is another blog that is covering the Miners as they prepare for the Saturday afternoon kickoff.
I know alot of fans are upset that UTEP is even playing in a Bowl with a 6-6 record but I tend to look at the glass as being half full instead of half empty. I am sure plenty of other schools would love to be playing in a Bowl this time of year. It is a great experience for the players and fans and a reward for all the hard work they have put in throughout the year. Here's hoping that the Miners get a big win in New Mexico and end the year holding up the Clay Pot.
Would like to hear your predictions for the game or comments.
