[Intro — Spoken, sarcastic] Ayy, ayy, ayy… El Paso, Texas… the 915. Franklin Mountains looking down like, “What is going on?” UTEP… Scotty Walden… Y’all got a whole city watching this? Turn the beat up. Nah, turn the scoreboard off. LET’S GO! [Chorus — Heavy bass, crowd chants] Miners in shambles, what happened to the plan? Sun Bowl packed? Man, I don’t understand! Fourth quarter coming, everybody gets tense, UTEP on the field, giving up points again! Orange and blue, but the season looking gray, Talking about a comeback, then they throw it away! 915, we deserve something great, But the Miners keep serving up another heartbreak! U-T-E-P! WHAT’S THE SCORE? ANOTHER LOSS! WHAT’S NEW? WHAT’S MORE? [Verse 1 — Football roast] Two and ten in twenty-five, that’s rough, that’s facts, One-and-seven in the league, how you coming back? Then twenty-six rolls in, and the pain don’t stop, Zero points at Oklahoma, man, the offense got locked! Fifty-one to zero, that’s a brutal debut, Sooners took the field like, “What y’all gonna do?” Then Michigan rolled in, fifty-two to seventeen, That ain’t the kind of highlight that belongs on the screen! Oregon State came through, thirty-three to seven, UTEP fans checking scores like they’re praying to heaven! Then New Mexico dropped sixty-one on the board, Battle of I-25? Man, the Lobos went to war! Nevada at the Sun Bowl, thirty to thirteen, Home-field advantage? Where the heck has it been? Scotty Walden, man, we need a new direction, Can’t keep selling hope without some real progression! [Chorus — Bigger, with ad-libs] Miners in shambles, what happened to the plan? (WHAT?) Sun Bowl packed? Man, I don’t understand! (WHY?) Fourth quarter coming, everybody gets tense, UTEP on the field, giving up points again! Orange and blue, but the season looking gray, Talking about a comeback, then they throw it away! 915, we deserve something great, But the Miners keep serving up another heartbreak! [Verse 2 — Basketball roast] Now switch the court, Don Haskins Center, UTEP basketball, when’s the winning streak entering? Sixty-six champions, that’s a legendary name, Bobby Joe Hill put the whole country on notice with that game! Coach Haskins made history, put the Miners on the map, Now the fans want that fire, not another season recap! March Madness dreams, we remember the past, But a championship from ‘66 can’t carry every year that’s passed! Where’s the defense? Where’s the fast break? Why’s the offense looking like it needs a coffee break? Conference games got the fans doing math, Trying to find a winning record like a treasure map! El Paso loves the Miners, yeah, the loyalty is real, But you gotta put some wins up if you want the crowd to feel! We ain’t asking for a dynasty overnight, Just give the 915 a team that’s ready to fight! [Bridge — Beat cuts out, crowd chanting] WHO RUNS THE 915? NOT THE SCOREBOARD! WHO NEEDS A COMEBACK? BOTH TEAMS RIGHT NOW! From the Sun Bowl stands to the basketball floor, We keep buying the hope, but we need something more! Orange! Blue! GIVE THE FANS SOMETHING NEW! Orange! Blue! WE STILL BELIEVE, BUT PROVE IT TOO! [Verse 3 — El Paso reality check] From the Franklin Mountains to the borderland streets, Everybody knows the Miners need to get back on their feet! Chico’s Tacos after games, trying to drown out the pain, Talking about the highlights, but we’re running out of games! The star on the mountain still shines in the night, But the teams need to give us something worth that light! No hate for the players, they’re putting in the grind, But the program needs results, not another “give it time”! Mountain West now, new chapter, new stage, Can’t keep letting losses write the next page! Oklahoma, Michigan, New Mexico too, The whole schedule’s got receipts, and the fans do too! This ain’t about the city, this is all about the teams, El Paso’s got the heart, now deliver on the dreams! So get in that film room, get the playbook right, Give the 915 a reason to go crazy on game night! [Final Chorus — Full beat, stadium crowd] Miners in shambles, but the city stands tall, UTEP, wake up, we need wins, that’s all! Sun Bowl roaring, let the whole crowd sing, Stop making every Saturday a painful thing! Orange and blue, let the comeback begin, Turn the losses around, put some Ws in! 915 forever, yeah, we still rep the name, Now give El Paso something better than the same old game! U-T-E-P! GET IT TOGETHER! 915! WE DESERVE BETTER! [Outro — Spoken] Shoutout to El Paso. Shoutout to the real fans. The 1966 champions built the legacy. Now somebody build the scoreboard. Miners… It’s time to dig yourselves out. [Beat ends.]
