If you can’t root for the team of 130+ engineers playing for an opportunity to go to the Natty—while studying for their Thermodynamics (etc.) finals the day before the game—I can make a pretty good argument that you’re not a fan of college football / America. #HelluvaEngineer⚒.

Since 2014 @MinesFootball has had 15 full-time starters at WR. ⚒ 13 have been All-RMAC.⚒ 4 have been All-Americans. So, as a starting WR at MINES, you have 2x the chance of being an All-American than not being All-Conference. How many schools can say that?.
