Week 8 or The Battle of the Facial Hair

This week's opponent is none other than Joe Vandal of Idaho. He seems like a formidable opponent. This is the matchup everyone has been waiting for. It is time for these mascots to go Mustache-a-Mustache. It's time to show this Vandal exactly how a mustache needs to be properly groomed. We used to rock that "cool" I-don't-care-about-my-facial-hair look, but we've grown and look where it's gotten us! Don't worry Joe, I'm sure Pete is willing to give you some pointers.

ESPN had it right when they said Pete's mustache says, “I lack self-restraint not to hurt you." Well, we may not hurt you Joe but we're going to bring it as hard as we can this week and we expect for you to do the same! This will be a fair fight, and may the best facial hair win! Look out Joe, Pete is comin' and he has his clippers ready to help you tame that crazy beard. 

So Miners, don't forget. Vote now. Vote often. Tell your friends, your parents, your compadres, your tia, your tio, your abuelita, and your bearded friends. Vote for Paydirt Pete!

Week 6 Results and Week 7 Matchup

Ah, Midterms....What a glorious time for any college student. Not really! Sorry for the delay in this overdue post. I have been SWAMPED!

So, we defeated Vanderbilt's Mr.C and have moved up to 6-0! This is so impressive. Let's jump to the stats so I can get to the juicy stuff.

Our Record as of Week 6:
Wins: 6
Losses: 0 (goose egg baby!)
Overall votes: 275,404
Place: 2nd


As you all have noticed, we are up against Brutus the Buckeye from Ohio State. This is awesome for 2 reasons. We are up against the Mascot who is cheering on the #1 Football Team in the country. Secondly, because we have a legit shot at bringing him down and cracking his nut of a head wide open! I'm over all these sympathy votes he's been getting because he was attacked by Ohio University's mascot. It is time for us to step up and show the big boys exactly why we deserve to win this Mascot Challenge!

We have an away game, so we need to make sure we get as many votes during the week. Ohio State also has an away game, so they'll be lacking that extra push. So Let's Roast some Buckeyes!

And most importantly!

Week 5 Matchup!

Okay Miners, this is where the competition is going to step up another step. Our opponent for this week is that wacky Duck from Oregon. He will go to any length to try and beat our Paydirt Pete. What we need from you is VOTES! If we can keep the pace, we can surely win.

Don't let that sweet face fool you, the Duck, besides Big Blue, is the only other opponent to go 4-0 just like us. You know what that means? We're here to hand him his first loss. We've done it the first 4 weeks, now we have to continue to do it the next 8 weeks! I have faith in my Miner fans!

So how can you help me help Pete? By telling everyone you know about the competition. I don't care if you have to ask to borrow someone's cell phone and vote, just VOTE. Ask your friends, your parents, your enemies, your teachers, your students, anyone who can text or vote online to do so. Let's help get El Paso on the map, right where we should be!!

This week we have an away game so we need that extra push!
