Saw that UTEP is going to give away 3 $30,000 cars at the OU game. Um, why? I guess a Top 5 team is not even close to being good enough for El Pasoans to buy tickets to that slaughter. If I were AD, there would be no promotion for that and the NMSU games, save the promos for the crappy games later in the year.
Guess this also means that season ticket sales are really crappy too. Which is no surprise and I want to feel bad for the department, but Bob Stull has no one to blame but themselves. Keep Price around has proven to be a failure on the field and in the box office.

MI already contacted the athletic dept and were only told that ticket sales are ahead of last years and that a sellout for the OU game is probable.

3 fans will have a chance to win a car....granted they make 3 field goals from the 15, 25, and 45 yard lines. I don't think a car will be won. no fan can make a field goal from the 45 unless they have been practicing a long time.

So far only 13,000 season tickets sold according to Stull in the EP times. Yeah more than last year, but thats not saying much, especially with OU and NMSU in September.

Sure it is saying much. It's better to point the needle is the other direction.

Sure it is saying much. It's better to point the needle is the other direction. Thats true Binks, but what would you expect if OU was added to any non-BCS schools home schedule? I would say that every single MAC, MWC, SBC, WAC, and CUSA school would have higher season ticket sales with a Top 5 program as the home opener. Again, El Paso has given up on Price and UTEP. Very few fell for the "buy season tix or no OU Tix" UTEP was trying to shove down our throats. 13,000 is not impressive and UTEP missed a HUGE opportunity by not firing Price after last season. Stull continues to barely be in the black because of his bad business decisions. We need new direction, both on and off the field. UTEP has some of the absolute worst merchandise available to their fans and keeping Price is the worst decision he will ever make. |
