Can I introduce you to UTEP “Chair Guy”? @600espnelpaso

With UTEP moving to the Mountain West next season, is Joe Golding the right man to lead the Miners?


UTEP, Jacksonville State and Conference USA will review an altercation that appeared to involve a UTEP fan picking up a chair in a fiery exchange with Jacksonville State players on Saturday. Read more: spr.ly/6012B688oG

FINAL: Jax State 64 - UTEP 61 Mostapha El Moutaouakkil hit the game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer. The Miners will finish the season 11-20 and 7-13 in CUSA. MinerTalk is coming up after the game. Send in your offseason wishlist @600espnelpaso


Someone to keep an eye on as the coaching carousel begins to spin is former Texas head coach Rodney Terry. Terry led the Longhorns to three straight NCAA tournaments as well as a Big 12 Tournament title and an Elite Eight appearance in 2023. He also recruited and coached Tre Johnson at Texas, who was selected No. 6 overall in the 2025 NBA Draft. Great story below from @PeteNakos, who includes Terry as a name to watch.

LA Hayes just completed a steal-and-score for the Miners. UTEP's in the driver's seat. UTEP 74 - Kennesaw State 65 | :21 2nd

Tarleton State is expected to formally announce this morning that men’s basketball coach Billy Gillispie will not return next year. They are expected to run a full national search for a new coach.

The Dallas Cowboys and the agent for Pro-Bowl kicker Brandon Aubrey are in agreement that he should be the NFL’s highest-paid player at his position. The disagreement is by how much. More via @toddarcher: espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…

If you were upset about Joe doing this, you don’t deserve to be a fan of this program anymore lol

Tensions flared at the end of the UTEP and New Mexico State men’s basketball game. Not sure what sparked it, but UTEP head coach Joe Golding was clearly frustrated with the NMSU side, including head coach Jason Hooten.
