Miners have Really improved their PR campaign

An exhibition game against a poorly outmanned and outmatched Mexican basketball team is hardly something positive to promote. Guess it’s just the UTEP way.

I think the video is fine and have no problem with them playing the “game”. I am confident it won’t add any value though, especially in terms of Mexicans buying tickets or listening/watching the Miners online.

New MWC Possibility:

Apparently GCU “no showed” the last WCC meeting. Also of note:

MWC will cover $3.5M entrance fee
GCU will get $1.5M in media over the next 6 years - not specific if that’s $1.5 each year or $250k
GCU paid the WCC $16M to enter and would have to pay $1M to leave.

Some people are so set in their opinions that no amount of evidence or reasoning will sway them. Even when presented with facts that contradict their beliefs, they double down, filtering out anything that challenges their perspective. It becomes less about the truth and more about holding on to a narrative they’re emotionally invested in.

True. And you could have dropped this in the Ominous thread and it would apply there too.

OT Mayoral Candidates

If the city gives you a contract worth a dollar, and you kick back 10 cents to philanthropy and invest a quarter into the city, you can see why people would be upset that you're pocketing .65.

This is just an example, not real figures, but again, it comes down to whether you think the city is getting equal value back for its spending.

The defense has made major strides. One of the best sack units in CUSA. The offense still needs work but Jackson is getting it done. UTEP needs bigger hogs on the O line. The penalties have really diminished. I am seeing improvement, but not letting Pickles throw doesn't work at this level with today's faster defensive players, even at mid major level. I'm seeing good things, and I'm realistic with a 4th stringer QB.

Maybe the defense is better, but he’s an offensive coach! If the defense really is better and people notice, the d coord will be gone after the season. Then we start over on defense or hope the linebackers coach is just as good.

Tickers are $9.15. Having them at $5 really isn't going to move the needle.

Have $1 tickets and $1 beer and it will get people to show up.

If you’re only going to discount the cheap ones to $5, yes, that’s true. They could expand the $5 seating to other sections as well. It’s one game, the Miners will surely win. Even if you turn one fan into buying tickets to other games, it’s a win.

They could also give away $500 gas cards. Something, they CHOOSE to do nothing.

Some still are hanging on player development. These guys will leave whenever they want. Not to mention, if some player isn’t doing well, Walden (or any other coach) will still replace him.

Walden has next season to be “competitive”. UTEP cannot afford to keep a 4-20 coach going into the MWC. There’s no way he wins 9 games in 2026 if he could only win 2 or 3 with a CUSA schedule.
