Another great weekend of football is upon us! Here are the games I think are worth watching:
You could tell this loss stung Mike Price just by looking.
More withdrawn. Fewer smiles. The kind of attitude you might expect less than 48 hours after getting so over-and-over close to a 10-by-55-yard stretch of lush, green Mississippi grass, but only getting to roll in it once.
It's hard to believe it's been four years since El Paso lost the man who put UTEP -- if not El Paso -- on the map. Don Haskins died on this day in 2008.

It WILL be a big game. The Sun Bowl WILL have a better atmosphere for fun and tailgating. The Miners ARE healthy.
But as the Miners kick off against the Sooners this Saturday night in the Sun Bowl, there was one word you didn't hear from UTEP head coach Mike Price -- "win".
The conference room at the Nolan Richardson Rec Center was almost packed. Seeing two of El Paso's finest in uniform was a clue as to how this would go, as was the fact that there was a lot more gray hair in the audience than any other color
