just exactly what a team of leaping unknowns supposedly completely out of their worlds and minds could do and how far off the experts could be. It took someone to believe the opposite of what the world was told and thought was true. It took absolute faith in those men. Faith against all that was known and true. Faith that the world was and had been wrong for so long and faith in himself that it could be proven by him and them. But the real faith he had was in what is right and what is wrong. So he set out to right the wrong. You know who else had faith and showed it? The people of El Paso. They knew what he knew. It is how the people of El Paso are. Hard working. No such thing as an entitlement. Pride taken in hard work and pride taken in the rewards hard work brings. Honest as a straight ditch dug in triple digit heat with a pick and shovel. Those are the people who will still have the Miners football team in their hearts and souls.
The one thing that was present last season was a beating heart and a desire to live. No one can say that last season's team was in not ways a better team that the season's before. The case can be made that injuries were a freak situation that just made last season a complete misrepresentation of progress made. So, taking a Mulligan, let's see what Dimel's game looks like after back surgery. Let's see if it corrected the problem.
I believe the fans will come out to start because that is how Miners fans are. If, in fact, the injuries were the problem and with that solved the Miners are a rumbling, sand rail plowing throw opponents like Red Sands on a Saturday night, the fans will return quickly. Not because Miners fans are bandwagon fans. No. Miners fans are always Miners fans, but they sometimes have few opportunities to cheer.
So, here's to the coaches, players and fans of the UTEP Miners. Coaches have a very hard job to do to meet that faith level needed from their players and themselves. The players have to play-use their skills-to play with that faith in themselves and their teammates, and finally, it takes the fans to do their part.
Here we fucking go again!
GO MINERS! Get this first one as quick as we can and lets set the place on fire. Let's burn El Paso to the ground with Miners insanity brought about by wins. Let the wins cause El Pasoans to dance like the Italians of Tarantula in the moonlight after a spider bite.
