Fans. Four straight nationally televised games. Who is going to waste their time and energy watching? I think you can count me out. I'll find something better to do on Wednesday night
Crucial month of football coming up for UTEP
- Thread starter STexMiner
- Start date
The only hope for a decent crowd for those games is if GECU and Oscar step up and purchase a bunch of tickets again.
Friday games are a tough sell even if the Miners are good. It's competing with the high schools.
That’s not really true. Yes, high school games take away potential fans. However, El Paso is not Lincoln, NE or South Bend, IN. There’s plenty of people here and not everyone has relatives who play or care about their high school team. I have been to 2 HS school games since I graduated from HS and both times I went because of the others I was with. I agreed to go, I wouldn’t have gone on my own. I DGAF about high school football.
UTEP’s first ever CUSA game against Houston was nationally televised (when that meant something) and was on a Friday night. Attendance was almost 46,000 and high school games were still played and El Paso had a lot less residents then too.
If you give people a reason to attend, they will. Especially with ample notice. Fans won’t attend Friday night’s game because UTEP is 1-4 and they suck. Not because Franklin, Eastwood, and Andress are playing.
You know how many high school football games I've been to since I dropped out of high school over 40 years ago?

Waste of time. Nothing will happen.
Married at First Sight will be back on Wednesday nights by then
I've got my fingers crossed that The Golden Bachelor is on Wednesdays.
I just saw that Jimmy Senter signed the petition to fire Dimel. Stay tuned and lets see what happens tomorrow.
