Just asking, UTEP head basketball coach Rodney Terry left his job to be an assistant at UT Longhorns today. Any word Kimani Young might be interested in the Miners head coaching job vacancy at his alma mater. Was a star player there back in 1990's.

Wasn't that 1966? First all black starting 5 to win the championship.National Champs. 1967. Beat Adolph Rupp.
Sister city to Juarez Mexico. That says it could be a little rough around the edges:The problem with taking the UTEP job is that you have to live in El Paso.
TBF it is a classic nice place to visit wouldn't want to live there location. Guadalupe Mountains and Big Bend National Parks are spectacular, especially in spring.The problem with taking the UTEP job is that you have to live in El Paso.
You are correct, it was 1966. I remember watching that game, rooting for Texas Western. I checked the list of all previous champions and seeing Connecticut listed 4 times put a big smile on my face.Wasn't that 1966? First all black starting 5 to win the championship.
I've told this story before, but it's been awhile. I had to go to a maquiladora trade show there in 1994. The highlights of my first night in El Paso:I've probably been to El Paso more than most here as I went to college 45 minutes away in New Mexico and have friends that still live there. El Paso has a ton of history, a beautiful backdrop with the Franklin Mountains, and obviously the best Mexican food around. Also one of the best steakhouses in the States not too far away. Surprisingly one of the safest cities in the United States of its size with it bordering Juarez. The Sun Bowl is a phenomenal place to catch a football game.
With all that said...it isn't a place I'd want to live and raise a family. There isn't a ton going on and Juarez is no longer an area where locals want to go into anymore. Though Juarez on Thursday's when I was in college was another story...happy to be able to get out of there alive and tell a few stories!
