    ...i think they played "up" (so to speak) to UH because the overall talent of the team is shown over the span of the season... the miners are what they are

    Coach Price, what happened to "we chose to take the losing road" yet again. get them to their **** together. We beat Houston then lose to 2 other games to teams with less talent? That's consistancy!

    Watching the game, the old proverbial phrase "they shot themselves in the foot" was echoed by many of the Miner Fans. In reality, they shot themselves in the head with all the miscues of the first half. UTEP could have easily won the game, but everytime they are favored by the odds makers, they find a way to lose to a far inferior team...I was thankful for the free tickets to watch the game though. The weather was the only thing perfect in the Sun Bowl today.
