"Glory Road" is probably the most powerful movie I've ever seen, along with "Remember the Titans"....what an amazing thing Coach Haskins did and how much ground he broke for the entire nation, fantastic athletes!
I was fortunate enough to have shared a brew or two with THE BEAR, I viewed this man as my own father....rough, ,but giving..we shared laughs and life lessons he remembered me during his autograph sessions at the El Paso Saddleblanket. I was Honored. I adopted El Paso in 86 when my Mother moved here from South Texas. I knew the stories and met the legend...Coach all is well here in the City you loved....you are forever in our hearts....D. Nevarez Sgt USMC 82-92
damn what a nice video!!!! T_T Long live Don Haskins!! El Paso will never forget the courage you and your team displayed in that era of hate!! I feel proud everytime i see that single championship banner when i go to the games!!!
UTEP basketball will never be the same. Mr. Haskins you made EL Pasoans proud to be Miners. I enjoyed watching you from afar the stands at the Haskins Center. And when you retired the program became dark. I have not been to a UTEP basketball game since. These coaches that have been at UTEP are only here to move up! Commitment? What commitment!!
Thankyou so much very touching! Long Live the Bear! and GO MINERS!

I hope UTEP can get another banner, though. I'd be so happy to see them winning again. And this comes from a dedicated Jayhawk fan.
