After all of the pomp and circumstance had settled down, the flyover was done and all of the dignitaries had settled into their suites, it was time to finally play the most advertised game in the 2016 season of UTEP football against the Army Black Knights.
The billboards and radio ads had clearly paid off. The fans were out in full force—some wore their Army gear, some UTEP gear, and a surprising amount in both. The cheers went both ways, and on this Saturday it was hard to tell who the crowd truly wanted to win. The Fort Bliss community came out in droves to support the team of possible future officers.
