    Do the UTEP fans use a hand signal that closely resembles Hook 'em 'Horns ? I was viewing some photos of a UTEP game and some fans appeared to be giving the "shaka" sign or something similar.

    "The Eyes of Texas"(UTEP's Official Alma Mater)
    The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
    All the live long day.
    The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
    You cannot get away.
    Do not think you can escape them,
    At night or early in the morn-
    The Eyes of Texas are upon you,
    'Till Gabriel Blows His horn


    "Miners Fight"
    Miners Fight! Miners Fight!
    And it's goodbye to Kentucky.
    Miners Fight! Miners Fight!
    For we'll put over one more win.
    Miners Fight! Miners Fight!
    For it's Miners that we love best.
    Hail! Hail! the gangs all here,
    And it's goodbye to all the rest!

    Actually, the UTEP Miners' fight song is a sped up version of Marty Robbins' "El Paso" that they received his permission for when still alive.

    Also, a bit of trivia, I believe UTEP is the only University of Texas System component that the Horns have played in football.

    The College of Mines (later UTEP), 1930 and 1933, good guys winning both.

    UT Austin and UTEP are the only system universities with football teams.
