Here is my submission for the UTEP jersey contest.
I’ve always liked the idea of UTEP putting El Paso on their jersey, and I also wanted to include something that pays homage to the roots of the community.

14 years ago today…
On October 3rd, 2009, UTEP knocked off 12th ranked Houston for the their first ranked win in 12 years. Donald Buckram ran for 262 yards and 4 TD’s in the win. Fans stormed the field afterwards. This remains UTEP’s last win over a ranked opponent. #MinerTalk

Tristen Newton was completely overlooked coming from El Paso, despite having a dominant 3,000-point career. He is now an NCAA Division 1 Nation Champion, with a 19-point double-double in the title game. The absolute definition of putting on for the youth in the city. #RECRUIT915

A mediocre FCS coach from Cedar Hill, Utah, talking down on the city of El Paso and UTEP?
Hilarious. I hope Scotty and his squad beats the brakes off that team. And I hope the city of El Paso responds with a packed out Sun Bowl. #MinerTalk
Bulletin board material? Fighting words?
Here's what Southern Utah head coach DeLane Fitzgerald had to say this week about UTEP football, El Paso, Juárez, and what he expects the crowd to look like for tomorrow night's game at the Sun Bowl.
Do with this what you will. #SUUvsUTEP

There aren't many kids my age who care about UTEP athletics. It's always frustrated me that there aren't more teen UTEP fans, and I decided to write about those frustrations in part one of my "Frustrations of a young UTEP fan series." krod.com/the-frustrations-of… @600espnelpaso
