Stranded Pitt players hitch ride with UTEP coach
Three Pitt football players stranded in Dallas hitched a more than 600-mile-long ride to El Paso with UTEP basketball coach Joe Golding.
ESPN, CBS and YAHOO have all picked up the story on Golding and his act of kindness. This is positive news for UTEP, the Sun Bowl game and the city of El Paso at a time when news coming out of El Paso hasn’t been very good. Kudos to Coach Golding for representing our beloved UTEP and the 915 in a positive light!
Nobody right now. But you can't afford that one; it's too much money.' I said, 'Just give it to us; we got to get home, man.'"
We need to pay Golding more....

Go ahead, bruh. Take care of the pay raise...
I would bet the dude at the rental car place had no clue he was UTEP's coach AND I would bet it's a business expense anyway.
Seriously a cool thing to do, though.
Goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover. Golding makes more money than anyone at the rental car place ever will.
I can just hear the Pitt players: “are we there yet?”
Without a doubt what Golding did was a very cool thing, however he first needs to prove he can win here so he can get paid more.

Ok, y'all what I meant to sarcastically say is we need to pay our coach more so it looks like he can afford a rental car.
Don't worry. Almost everyone got it.
Bro, there's no reading involved. All you had to do was listen to the Pitt coach talk about the incident on the original tweet posted.
He didnt explain why they were left stranded. I looked them up and none of them have played this season. Looks to me they were left behind.
UTEP basketball coach Joe Golding helps stranded Pitt football players get to Sun Bowl from Dallas airport
The holiday airline crunch put some Pitt players in a pinch before Golding offered them a ride to El Paso.

Jake Frantl, Samuel Okunlola and Hudson Primus were all traveling through Dallas to El Paso on Sunday en route to the Sun Bowl after spending time with their families. Like so many other holiday travelers, they found their plans disrupted when their flights got canceled on Sunday, leaving them stranded in Dallas in search of a plan.
Wasn’t to hard to figure out. Yes Fili, college athletes have family.
Grew up playing soccer and wearing Adidas. All Day I Dream About Soccer.
Golding talking “dad/parent” in this situation. I told my kid on the east coast to “stay put!! The storm is coming in!”. What do they do? Drives to major city airport and flies out to DIA! Dios mio!! Luckily the flight was from the Caribbean and not cancelled.
Did you read the stories that have been posted about it? They clearly outline why they were there. Oh wait, of course you didn’t read
If there weren’t pictures, he didn’t get it.
Give him a break. Reading IS hard!
Nice of Golding to do what he did, but is it just me or is this being blown out of proportion? Is our society so bad now that doing good deeds are so out of the ordinary?
I don't know if it's blown out of proportion. I think it's simply an interesting human interest story that folks enjoy hearing in contrast to all the garbage we get on the daily news.
It also provides an upside for EP. UTEP and Golding.
