For so many UTEP seniors, Saturday's season ending game against North Texas represents the turning of a page, when the word "family" begins to take on a different meaning, when the "real world" becomes much less theoretical.
Cole Freytag is one of those seniors, but for the Coronado alum, that transition is well underway.
He's a receiver, in fact the Miners' top one, and a team leader, but he has other titles. Freytag is a father, a husband and a UTEP alum, who began living in the "real world" two years ago when his wife Karly gave birth to their daughter Brooklyn.
