You Lincoln folks have a short memory. We at UTEP were putting guys like Johnnie Lee Higgins and Quintin Demps into the league while you were still finding your footing. Respect isn't given, it's earned on the field in November, not in some ESPN article. I watched the Miners beat your Lions in the old Sun Belt days when rivalries meant something, and we did it with overlooked kids who became men in our program. This portal frenzy you're praising is just free agency, it kills the soul of a team. You can't buy the kind of loyalty we had with players who stayed through four hard years to build something. Go ahead and collect transfers, we'll keep building our way, the right way.
