Locomotive said 5 years ago they wanted to build a stadium with city help and you run with that as a stone cold fact. I don’t see why an article with quotes from anonymous CUSA coaches should be automatically discarded as fiction.
If we don't have a football season
- Thread starter nattybry
- Start date
Terry is a modest recruiter that doesn't coach well IMO...yes
I'm saying we need a recruiter that is ALSO a good coach
It is a fact and there currently is no quote from MountainStar stating otherwise.
Maybe it’s not fiction, but it doesn’t make it a fact either......
You're wrong I showed you the latest statement made by the Locomotive regarding a stadium. No mention of the city at all. You use whatever outdated info best fits your narrative.
I'll believe the words of a professional football coach that knows our league well.
Nothing positive could ever be true about UTEP so I don't expect anything but complaints and negativity from you.
No you didn’t. I kept asking for a link, you never provided. Please re-link
When UTEP football wins a bowl game, wins in the eastern time zone, wins a meaningful road game, beats a Top 25 opponent, and wins CUSA, I will be more positive.
When basketball goes to the NCAAs more than 3 times in 30 years, beats a Top 25 opponent, and doesn’t have trouble qualifying for the CUSA tournament, I will be more positive.

Imo we need a mastermind x’s and o’s coach. It's assumed that most years we will lose recruiting battles to instate g5 rivals. We are never going to be that team full of 3 and 4-star recruits. We don't have the local talent for that or the name recognition to best UH and SMU. We need a coach that can win by outsmarting others and not depend mostly on individual natural talent.

We absolutely want our own building,” he said. “Certainly, [Southwest University Park] works well, and every chance I get to give kudos to our grounds crew, they’re the ones that make it happen and certainly they do a great job of the conversion, but at the same time we would love to be in a soccer-specific stadium where they don’t have to do all the work, and we can have a little bit more of a flexible schedule. That’s absolutely the long-term goal.”
We want to be a leader,” Forrest said. “When new teams come in, we want people to point to us and say, ‘that’s who you need to talk to about ticket sales,’ ‘that’s who you need to talk to about sponsorships,’ ‘they do a great job with digital marketing.’ We want to be that leader, and we know that stuff is not given, it’s earned, and we’re hell-bent on doing everything we can in the USL to be the best that we can be.”
Now your turn to post the link where Locomotive said they will only build a stadium with city funds.
"An on-campus party at Rutgers that several athletes attended may have led to the coronavirus outbreak that forced the entire team into a two-week quarantine, NJ.com reported on Wednesday."

Says absolutely nothing about how/who would finance it. All articles have stated the city would be needed to help pay for it. Until there is information to the contrary, that remains the plan.
It’s a moot point, as there won’t be any stadiums built, any-****ing-where for a long, long time.
I posted a link about the stadium with zero mention of the city helping. Your turn to post links where the Locomotive says city funding is needed.
There’s ZERO mention of who is paying for it.
I am not going to be discussing this any further.
I don't remember asking you a goddamned thing.
So why do you spread misinformation? As Trump says, you're fake news.
It’s actual news, as you are saying something else that has no proof.

“As for how the project will be funded, it still needs to be figured out.
"Anything would need to be going to the voters for their approval," Hunt said.”
Keywords - anything and voters
Keywords - maybe and hasn’t met with the city yet.
Like I said you took one vague article from five years ago and ran with it.
Post the update what happened after they met with the city? Did they ever meet?
It’s from 4 years ago, not 5. There is no statement from MountainStar where they claim they planned on fully funding a soccer stadium at any point.
They already asked taxpayers for money for the baseball stadium, don’t you think it would be good PR for them to come out and say they were going to pay for this one?
It doesn’t matter now. As stadiums for minor league teams will be taking a backseat for a long time. Unless it’s close to completion or already in the works, no new stadium is being built in the US for a long time.
I will bet you any amount of money that the Locomotive don’t have a stadium built for them within the next 10 years.
Just a gut, no basis on facts feeling, Tech vs UTEP will happen, UT vs UTEP will not.
UT wants LSU game badly. Tech lost two OOC games and wanted rematch vs 'cats but that got spit roasted.

BIG 12 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE WILL HAVE MAJOR IMPACT ON UTEP BUDGET
STEVE KAPLOWITZJuly 22, 2020
Before the end of the month, the Big 12 is expected to announce their plans regarding the 2020 football schedule. Although the Big 10 and Pac-12 have already condensed their regular seasons to only conference matchups, the other three Power 5 conferences are yet to decide on how many games they will play. Brian Davis, who covers Texas Longhorns football and men's basketball for the Austin American Statesman, tweeted a few of the latest rumors that he is hearing, which would have a major impact on UTEP and its athletic department.

Two of the Miners four non-conference games are against Big 12 schools. UTEP kicks off their 2020 season at home against Texas Tech and two weeks later, they are scheduled to play in Austin against Texas. The best case scenario for the Miners would be if the Big 12 decides to play all 12 regular season games. However, if the Big 12 adopts the 9 + 1 schedule and they also reach an agreement with the SEC, the Longhorns would play at LSU on September 12th and their home game against UTEP the next weekend would be canceled. The Miners are supposed to receive $1.4 million to play Texas on the road and canceling that game could have a significant impact on the UTEP athletic budget. Staff cuts and/or a reduction in coaches salaries could all be a factor if the UTEP athletic department loses over a million dollars from the Texas game. The Miners non-conference football games are filled up through 2023, so it would be unlikely for them to schedule extra money games until 2024 at the earliest.
The good news for the Miner Nation is that in either scenario that Davis tweeted, the UTEP home opener against Texas Tech would not be a casualty of an abbreviated Big 12 football schedule. Even in the case of the 9+1 format, the Red Raiders have already lost their other two non-conference games against Alabama State and Arizona. The only other game on their schedule that is not against a Big 12 opponent is UTEP on September 5th. The Red Raiders would not play again until three weeks later on the road against Iowa State before hosting West Virginia October 3rd in their home opener. As for UTEP, they would have an opportunity to fill the Sun Bowl at least 25 to 50-percent capacity for the Texas Tech game. The stadium's $16.25 million dollar modernization project will also give the school increased revenue from home football games, including the Red Raiders.

Article is old. SEC is ONLY playing conference games. UT can want LSU all they want, it’s not happening.
Thanks for posting!!!
Thanks for posting!!!
Seems that Rutgers, known for being one of the top public research and healthcare institutions in the country, forgot that everyone that goes into the “bubble” needs to be virus free BEFORE going in.
Yuup. Just goes to show that it’s easy to spread amongst teammates. People thinking that UTEP’s going to play 10 games this year, don’t think so. Teams will be lucky to play 4 or 5, is my prediction.
UTEP likely to be Texas’ only non-conference game.
So now ttu is scrambling to find an ooc opponent.
