Being a great husband and father are my two most important goals in life while being faithful to God, Athletic Director at University of Texas at El Paso
Miner Nation you don’t have to tear down other people or programs. It’s ok to celebrate other’s successes. Let their success motivate you, me, us to work harder, invest more and make positive strides towards our goals! Let’s be bigger than jealousy! ⛏⛏⛏⛏⛏⛏

It is exciting to see continual progress on the Sun Bowl Renovation. Outdoor club seats in sections 4,5,6 are now completed. Loge boxes coming soon!

High praise from the 2019 national runner-ups after UTEP's 70-60 exhibition win over the Red Raiders on Saturday.
I want to thank Miss Katie Jensen who has served our department for 30 years. She retires at the end of the month at the ripe old age of 98. Miner Nation that’s not a typo! That’s a human who exemplifies the

Kind of a weird feeling to be standing in high heels! How do women walk in these? Why do they? I have been recruited to help the YWCA fundraiser “Walk A Mile” in her 👠. Helping bring awareness to stop rape, sexual assault and domestic violence.

It’s a great day when your son marries the love of his life and best friend. I had the pleasure of watching them get married today at the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs CO. Congrats Derick and Melanie!
Great time today to meet

and getting to know Tim. Thanks Coach Hardaway for coming to El Paso and encouraging our community, staff, coaches and players! Go Miners!

Hate & racism have no place in our world. One year ago today the Wal Mart shooting happened in EP. 23 people lost their lives and scores of others were injured because of one young man’s ideology. Hate will never win over love. El Pasoans are full of love & acceptance!

While the results of yesterday’s

I couldn’t be more proud of

and
@CoachJoeGolding
and his staff. These guys have fought hard all year long. They were so close. Sports are a metaphor for life. We don’t win at everything. The journey of life is full of disappointments. Stay in the fight/keep believing!
JR, Things will change in a big way for UTEP! But not because of you or folks who feel like you. Every Person Makes A Difference. It doesn’t sound like you will join
#TheMovement
nor will you be a positive difference maker for us.

Beautiful setting this morning as the sun comes up in the East over the Franklin Mountains. I am blessed and grateful to call El Paso home and El Pasoans my family.

I am seeing quite a bit of twitter banter related to football scheduling and especially playing MWC schools. We will try to schedule as many MWC teams as we can. Future games are slated for UNLV, BSU, UNM. Makes sense to play I. The west for non-conference. Go Miners!

You must be referring to some other team or group of young people.

The Haskin Family has been so supportive of all of the new staff and helping us during the transition. I wish I would have had the pleasure of knowing Coach Haskins. Go Miners!
It was definitely my pleasure to meet Mary Haskins last evening! She’s inspirational! We just watched “Glory Road” a few days ago. We also love El Paso & UTEP. I look forward to getting involved in the community, promoting education & supporting the Football Program

New bowl lineups and affiliations by conference are under negotiations during 2018 and CUSA is well positioned to capture quality matchups! UTEP Football win the regular season and enjoy a bowl game atmosphere in 2018! Go Miners!

The rich history and tradition of success and players that UTEP basketball boasts was not easy to achieve nor was it done alone. It is only by community and an

spirit that it was achievable. Now it is our turn to add to this story. We need everyone in El Paso to help!
Competing for and winning championships don’t start on the field on game day. Itshere during early morning winter conditions drills when your tired, cold and doing something the competition isn’t willing to do!

It’s the 90th year of UTEP FB Homecomings this year! We have had several names but “Coming Home” has alway meant the same thing to each person regardless of our name!
First look at the 2018-2019 UTEP men’s basketball schedule. Miners to play at Arizona, at New Mexico and at Marquette. Head coach Rodney Terry says the non-conference slate mirrors the style of play the Miners will see in C-USA.
