reading the UTEP comments in minerillistrated it sounds like the majority of there players are from el paso. Many with no other offers. El Paso is not full of football talent. Back in the day we would win city and first game was odessa permian, never turn out the way we had it planned. Someone mentioned they could not get worse, when I was growing up in El Paso UTEP was beyond bad. Lost a game to Utah 86-6 and the rest of the season was not much better. I do recall the miners always pulled in the crowds, not much other things to do in the Sun City. The high school at that time all had their own stadiums and all played on Friday nights. Granted I left el paso in 1978 and never looked back so things might be better there. I remember walking the first time on the NTSU campus and seeing all the green. I loved it and hayden fry was here for one year while i was attending. that is why I bleed green.
