Born in 1914 in El Paso, the UTEP Miners have built a uniquely West Texas brand of college football played against the dramatic backdrop of Sun Bowl Stadium, carved into the Franklin Mountains. Saturday nights glow with desert sunsets, the pickaxe hand sign and Paydirt Pete leading a spirited student section, with tailgates that start early and carry the rhythm of the Sun City.

The Miners’ résumé features conference titles, including the 1956 Border crown and a share of the 2000 WAC title, plus memorable Sun Bowl victories, highlighted by the 1967 win over Ole Miss. Legends such as Pro Football Hall of Famer Don Maynard and NFL Pro Bowler Aaron Jones forged their paths here. The annual Battle of I-10 with New Mexico State turns up the volume every year, drawing fans who live for loud, local and unforgettable game days.
