Down in the west Texas town of El Paso, I saw a football team trying to grow... UTEP's off to a fine start, at least as far as the record goes, and gave Brotech all they could have asked for. But now they have to come to Manhattan. Can they avoid suffering for Auburn's misdeeds?

If you can attend the game, attend the game, but if not, come join us and enjoy the game, good eats, drinks, and the company of your fellow Wildcat faithful. Curtis should be in attendance, and you'll want to get there early to grab a good seat, especially with a Saturday crowd.
