The Rush - UTEP and Conference USA Sports Talk Presented by SB Nation

The Rush is a podcast brought to you by SB Nation and MinerRush.com, with Alex Nicolas and Anthony Salom talking all things UTEP and Conference USA sports.

This week we will start with some UTEP basketball talk with a focus on UTEP's newest signees, and the start of the regular season on Saturday. 

We'll briefly touch on the Josh McSwiggan situation, and breakdown UTEP's first opponent, and look at the initial C-USA Basketball Power Rankings.

UTEP football had their best win of the season last week, another must win game takes place on Saturday as we will look at the Old Dominion Monarchs and UTEP's keys to victory. 

We also take a loot at the C-USA Football Power Rankings as the bowl picture could shape up more after this week.  

Show starts at 6:00 p.m. Mountain Time, and we always encourage your interaction via our call in number 347-934-0951, here in the comment thread, or @ us on Twitter, or via email sbnminerrush@gmail.com.
