One thing for sure spring game will be interesting. I also remember when Caracter joined Utep, there was high buzz around the team.

I don't think thousands of people buy tickets just to see Malachi. There was high buzz that year because UTEP was coming off a good season.

But DC added to it. He also was a former 5 star recruit.

There was already a buzz after UTEP did well in the CBI.

False there was no buzz.

 

[utep1966]

False there was no buzz.

Of course there was. Games sold out quick. You clearly wasn't a fan during that time.

 

[dementiajoe]

Nope. Wins affect ticket sales, not just one player, who probably won’t last beyond one season.

Hey Fili, should we have mariachis greet Malachi when he arrives? 🤡

So you saying that DC didn't contribute to the hype??

Can't because Sun Bowl isn't part of Utep remember??

Yes, that's what I'm saying.

huh???????????

Wrong. Also Malachi is now a 3 star.

I think UTEP is gonna market the hell out of this and that UT Martin game will have a big crowd. If we open with a win at Utah State, Sun Bowl will have 40k+

Yep, UTEP always markets the first home game.

 

[FiliUTEP]

What about jersey sales??

Why would you suddenly sell thousands more tickets for a guy who couldn't see the field at two different schools?

Now if you had gotten Arch Manning to leave Austin for UTEP, that's a different story.

 

[Prospero915]

It absolutely will!

 

[KaneFan29]

It absolutely will!

Nobody knows who this guy is. The average ticket buyer isn’t buying tickets to see 1 guy play. He’s not Shauder Sanders or Dillion Gabriel and we shouldn’t expect him to be.

Bingo.

20 pass attempts, 1 INT in his collegiate career and . If you listen to the BBOC podcast in August they reported Nelson was getting outplayed daily by the 38th ranked player in Utah (Madsen). Collin Wilson and Stuckey had a good inside source and I was very high on Nelson going to Boise from a betting standpoint but he never made any noise and there was some pretty bad things said about him.

Gonna be funny when Locklear or McConnell or the new freshman start over him. I like the upside the freshman from SA has over this potential Diva.

Calm down dude. You're more negative than Kane (and that's saying a lot).

El Paso football fans will know all about him by the time the season starts. He's the highest rated athlete to ever sign with UTEP. There will definitely be a boost in attendance. (whether small or large). Especially if he's able to produce and the wins start coming.
And what if we lock in a few more standout players because of this signing??

He’s not Zion or LeBron James. He’s not an established college star. If wins come, fans will come regardless of who is the QB.

Fans didn’t show up when Aaron Jones played here and he was a local kid. The best local player ever and you think people will just show up for this guy. Not happening.

 

[dementiajoe]

This guy could put on a UTEP jersey, yet fans still wouldn’t show up just on name value alone.

As Al Davis famously said, “JUST WIN BABY!”

I mean, the Sun Bowl sold a lot of tickets just to see the Pope on a big screen. Just saying.

And the Dallas Cowboys sold out two scrimmages - TWICE! Some El Pasoans are suckers for any kind of entertainment. 🤡

You're a sucker if you want to see two NFL teams in your own backyard? I'm not a Cowboys fan, but those scrimmages were fun.

El Pasoans waited in line for a New Albertsons. El Paso is all about the hype train.

They waited in line because Albertson's was giving out free money.

Aaron Jones wasn't a 5 star recruit . Now if KJ Lewis have gone to Utep then i think he would sell tickets. You act like El Pasoans don't have the Internet.

 

[FiliUTEP]

So far since Utep posted. It has received 3k likes and counting and 68 comments and 800 shares.

A lot of them obviously don’t. Since the common excuses we hear is that they don’t know when UTEP plays or how to buy online tickets.

Jones wasn’t a 5 star recruit but he was here for 4 years and played in front of sub 20k crowds his last 4 home games. Hey, go ahead and believe people will buy tickets to see 1 relatively unknown QB.

It goes back to the university to properly market and move tickets. The first home game of the season doesn’t have trouble getting 30k plus, and it’s on the university to get the word out.

Most of the casual fans will see a 5* QB and be interested to see at least the first game. Most people couldn’t name a single player on this year’s team but showed up to see what the new coach was about (not a great first impression but still).

I would like to see UTEP send out some people to sell tickets at different events, maybe have a kiosk at the Chihuahuas games for example.

Jones played on some bad teams and in a tough to watch offense.

That’s fine and dandy. There are already a few “smart guys” suggesting EP is going to turn out for Nelson just because he’s a “5 star recruit”.

Casual and neutral fans will be showing up to see a “5 star recruit”. Having a 5* QB is a great marketing tool towards the casual/neutral fans as it will increase curiosity and give UTEP someone to focus their marketing on. It is a lot easier to convince someone to go buy tickets and see a game if there is a 5* recruit or a new coach or some other driving factor.

How UTEP decides to handle it and whether they fully capitalize on the situation is to be seen.

We all forget this completely forgettable "highly ranked" transfer? Keith Frazier.

A mcDonalds all American, top 20 overall recruit! And he was one of the worst teammates I ever saw wear a UTEP jersey. If I recall correctly, he didn't even finish the year. It was good riddance.


I'm extremely hyped about Nelson's signing but it's silly to think one player is going to move the needle with attendance before they've taken a snap. After the opening game, Utep attendance is 100% dependent on team success after years of failure.

And let us not forget Fred Rouse.
