It's amazing how the people still relate to the team. Older people in town went to those games, and they still talk about that, especially when basketball season starts.

We'll relish this for about 24 hours. We still have five more games to go. But we've worked so hard for this, and it's nice to know that it doesn't have to go down to the end. This is a great feeling.

Games like this are good for us. It will get us ready for next week. It's always good playing the quality competition Althoff provides.

I started coming to UTEP games in 1965 and became a season-ticket holder in 1970.

In Mark's situation, he wasn't able to take care of the dog. Our clients have to be able to take care of the dog, feed them properly, make sure they get enough exercise and he wasn't able to do that. So we took the dog back.

It was close ? a couple pounds.
