He said it on SportsTalk as well. In his Post Signing Day Press Conference, he gave a date for the Spring Game and now there isn’t one. Wonder what the reasoning is

How big of a deal is it really? I see it as no big issue.

My guess is it's a financial burden for them. They have to hire employees, etc. The people going to the Spring Game are the same people that buys the tickets, so there just isn't any incentive to have a game.

It's not a big deal, but it's just mysterious why they won't have a game.

Bad call. According to some, it would have been our only chance to win a game this year.

It’s never been a big deal here. They semi promote it, and if lucky get 1000 people. Why go to the expensive.
Just another example of apathy towards Utep.

Admittedly, I don't follow the Miners as much as most here, but I cannot think of a time when the apathy level was so high. Hopefully, in the near future, the powers that be decide to support the program and make the needed changes.

Meanwhile…UTSA is moving their spring game to the Alamodome. Another example of the tale of two programs. 😢

Where else would they play without a stadium on campus unless it was on their practice field?

Don’t let facts get in the way of a good story!

It’s not all good in the east. They’re bringing back their basketball coach for an 8th year. 3 of last 4 are losing seasons and currently has 2 straight 10 win seasons.

The Alamodome is a shithole stadium but it's still better than anything else in the city for a football game.

FWIW, they strategically time it during Fiesta. It just gives many another event for drinks and a good time.

Why EP doesn’t have a SA Fiesta-like celebration is beyond me.

I was looking at the spring roster. Noticed the large junior class, UTEP has 40 juniors. Ezell Jolly I guess will join in the summer? Seth Mouser and AJ Martin only freshman on the spring roster. 5 RBs on the roster four of them are juniors .
