Capital One Bowl Mascot Challenge!

Okay Miners, here is the deal. Paydirt Pete was selected as on of the 16 mascots in this years Capital One Bowl Mascot Challenge. So, what you say? Well, on our quest to become a Tier 1 school, this is huge! This is an opportunity to show people that even though we are hundreds of miles away from UT Austin, Texas A&M, etc. that we still have that Texas spirit.

Here is what you need to know about the Mascot Challenge:

• Each week, Paydirt Pete will be taking on a new opponent. This is for the entire 12 weeks of the NCAA College Football season
• In order to win, we need to text our vote 'PaydirtPete" to 69866 as much as humanly possible EACH WEEK.
• If you don't feel comfortable texting you can vote online at capitalonebowl.com
• Votes are UNLIMITED so vote as often as you can!
• It isn't based on just wins/losses. It is based on total number of votes. We need to be in the Top 8 by week 12 in order to advance to the finals.
• If we win, the Mascot program and UTEP will receive $15,000!

So, now you know what the Mascot Challenge is about, VOTE! Do it while you're waiting for your children outside of school, waiting for your order of green chicken enchiladas at L&J, waiting for the shuttle to campus, or when you're waiting for class to start.
