Jamey's family are avid football fans, and they are also huge fans of the UTEP Miners, even though none of them live in El Paso anymore. So everytime the Miners are playing anywhere in the vicinity, they try to be there to support their team.
Last weekend Jamey's brother Joey brought his wife Gladys, and Gladys's daughters Mayra and Jessica to Houston so we could all go to the UTEP/UH football game at Robertson Stadium. It was a beautiful day for a football game--perfect weather, beautiful blue skies, and lots and lots of UTEP Miner fans. Jamey had to leave early because he got to work the Round 2 AAAA State Playoff Game in Deer Park--he got to operate one of the video cameras and did a good job, evidently--7 of the replay highlights on the jumbo-tron (yes, they have JUMBO-TRON at the high school stadiums here) were from his camera!
The Miners lost 42 to 35, but it was a nail-biter to the very last second and we had a ball.
Here are some photos from our day of fun--enjoy!

Crazy UTEP fan. He was actually a lot of fun through the whole game--kept us excited.
Mayra, getting into the spirit of things...
