On the football team, composed of some 80-plus guys, there is one honoree. He's senior defensive back George Kelly. He played in all 12 games, starting four, and he was credited with 65 tackles. Good going, George.
And I'll be the first to point out that he was a junior-college transfer, and I've been ragging on how transfers aren't the way to go in building a program.
Men's basketball had no medal winners.
The best UTEP team was soccer with 5: Denise Desilets, Flo Gutierrez, Angie Kleinfelder, Brittany Popoff and Brittany Vacca.
Softball had 3: Ashley Collazo, Kelynn Frye and Stacie Townsend. And men's track and field had 3: Hans Eriksson, Carlos Montijo and Cesar Ramirez.
Volleyball had 2: Cassandra Burruel and Marie-Therese Joyce. Men's golff had 2: Jordan Bucy and H.J. Roberts.
Joining men's football with 1 was women's basketball: Marta Micula.
Joe, quit being so negative about UTEP athletics! Geez!

Can you imagine how boring the blog would be if Joe wasn't stirring up the hornets?

Tyreke Evans has declared himself eligible for the NBA draft. The Miners will be one of a number of CUSA teams who will beat Memphis next year. The CUSA title will be there for the taking.
