Three days before UTEP hosts UTSA at the Sun Bowl, Twitter has been buzzing with fans from both schools talking about the big football matchup on Saturday.
Next Monday, ESPN will announce the location for the November 6th edition of College GameDay, and UTEP could be in the running to host the show at the Sun Bowl.
The UTEP football team is off to a 4-1 start, their best record in 11 years. However Sun Bowl attendance has not mirrored the Miners success on the field.
The Sun Bowl Association will team up with the Southwest Flag Football League to host a multiday tournament for the first time in August featuring cash prizes.
