Suddenly, UTEP Has A Future

The past, being what it is for UTEP football, usually puts the present on shaky ground. And instability means there's no footing for the future.

So it is nice to notice the unusual -- a two-game winning streak in November that has the Miners on an outcropping near a summit unimagined after the first three games of 2008: bowl eligibility.

Of course, two missed steps against Houston and East Carolina and the fall from so near the top would hurt all the more. But Mike Price and his Miners keep climbing even after recuperating from some serious falls over the last two years.

A 36-10 win over SMU didn't hurt.

Two road games to finish out the regular season -- at Houston and at East Carolina -- won't help.

The UTEP coach talked about both at his weekly press conference.

I wonder why everybody blogs with Muench? maybe we like his mean ways against UTEP, and with Duke since he is a nice guy hardly anyone bothers to blog, is weird but true.

Lets see if anyone answers here is Claude Britten still a Miner, he had such a good trip in China that i tought he was going to be a big contributor to the Miners but he did not play against Texas Southern looking for a good explanation there?
