Rush Podcast Open Thread: Do or die time for UTEP football

The Rush is a podcast brought to you by SB Nation and MinerRush.com, with Alex Nicolas and Anthony Salom talking all things UTEP and Conference USA sports.

Another loss, but some actual positives and football things to talk about as UTEP is in a do-or-die situation this week against FIU.

We review the LA Tech game, and preview the FIU game coming up on Saturday.

Our C-USA Football Power Rankings are close towards the top, we discuss bowl positioning for some teams like ODU, and breakdown the top dogs.

UTEP basketball starts practice on Thursday, we look at some of the big questions surrounding the 2016-17 team, and look at some recruiting notes from the past couple of weeks.

Show starts today at 6:00 p.m. Mountain Time, and we always encourage your interaction via our call in number 347-934-0951, here in the comment thread, or @ us on Twitter, or via email sbnminerrush@gmail.com.
