UTEP to play UAB in Midland

[MGNation92]

And to think we couldn't do the same 🥴

[UNT Texas Hooligan]

UTEP didn't want to do the same. The wheels are falling off in El Paso and UTEP now knows that if they don't play outside of El Paso, they will not play another game. They are requesting 4 more mobile morgues for all of the bodies while hospitals are at capacity. Looks like their President and Dana Dimel finally stuck their heads out and realized how bad the situation is in their city.

And NT was scouffed at for offering to pay their way to Denton. Watch us end up playing here or Midland.

We would have played them in a Safeway parking lot as long as it wasn’t in El Paso.

Added curfews and lock-downs in El Paso but the EPISD started letting students go back to campus this week. You have schools open in elementary with less than 10 students attending.

No by their coach and president.

The coach calling for us to forfeit was laughable.

That was actually a pathetic move by their President and coach to call for us to forfeit for not wanting to go into El Paso. Like you are still UTEP, no one is ducking you.  What's even more pathetic is that some in our conference agreed with them and thought we should forfeit for not wanting to play there.

I'd lay down good money no other CUSA football team plays in El Paso this year year. Smatresk made the right call IMO

Thanks!

All of the rescheduling of games and new dates can be confusing!
