What genius agreed to that? The attendance might not even crack 10,000.
2 PM start versus UTSA?

I don't remember it ever being like that in the '80s. I seem to remember it starting in the early 2000s for the last couple of games of the season. I don't know if it's a mandate from the conferences to protect teams from "cold weather" in the "winter months" but I don't ever remember feeling too cold at UTEP night games in the '80s. If it's a rule from above, it's a stupid rule to impose on the southwest desert city of El Paso.
November home games have had kickoffs in the afternoons. It's been like that for several years now.
The bowl clincher vs MTSU game in 14 was super cold. The game we lost vs LT the following year was also super freezing. That was an early game. I remember my then wife not going or taking our kids cuz of the weather. That's as far as my memory goes cuz I left EP in 2016 and didn't attend any games after the Army debacle.
El Paso needs to stop sleeping in so late. Get up and get out. It's not like people have anything better to do at 2pm.
This has been known since the schedule was announced. Shouldn't be a surprise to anyone at this point
Can't hurt. The 7pm starting times hasn't been packing them in. I swear, there are more excuses for not going than Carter has pills.

I very clearly remember my wife and daughters leaving in the second quarter cuz they were freezing. Of course I stayed and they picked me up after the game. That's cool that it wasn't cold for you.No it wasn’t. I was there and it wasn’t super cold. High was 73 that day.

It’s okay to be wrong. I tailgated that day in a short sleeved tshirt and as I provided in the link, high was 73 and the low was 50. Usually the low is not achieved between 5-8pm. You can check out the highlights. It was so cold none of the players or refs were wearing long sleeves and neither were the coaches.
Wife and kids probably went to go spend time with another man or something and just used that as an excuse.
Good one man! Maybe it was too cold for toddlers and that's why UTEP moved the starting time to 2pm. I'm glad they're thinking of families.
