_ Nevermind... I thought the subject line was "TROYGATIN INFO FOR TAIL"... nevermind. _

"That's completely different, Miss Latella"

"Nevermind ..... (beotch)"

_ Nope, your good. Come eat with us Saturday.

Thanks! I will definitely be there. Just hope I can get away from here early enough to be there for that.

  The challenge that faced Mike Price was daunting when he took over UTEP's football program after the 2003 season. From 2001-03, the Miners put together three consecutive two-win seasons. The program had posted only three winning seasons since 1970.

But the challenge was nothing new. Weber State hadn't recorded a winning season in 10 years before Price took over the program in 1981. The Wildcats responded with four winning seasons before he left for Pac-10 doormat Washington State. Price took the Cougars to five bowl games, including three 10-win seasons.

Since leading UTEP to back-to-back 8-4 seasons that ended with bowl bids in his first two years, Price has seen his program fall on hard times. The Miners went 5-7 in 2006 and 4-8 in '07, and things have not gotten any better this season.

_ Before you can fix a problem you have to recognize the problem.

A: There were no designated spots for anybody except for those who already paid for tailgate spots. I could have shown up in your so called designated spots before you and there was not a thing in the world you could do.
B: There were problems developing between the fans for unrented spots, and that is not a good thing.
C: The SGA needs to get together with the University for next fall, and buy some designated spots for students. Then the SGA can give, rent, raffle, have a lottery, or whatever they want to allocate the spots. _

DING!!! DING!!! DING!!! We have a winner!


Hey, here's a suggestion fo rthe students. Instead of worrying about dressing in black for a phony protest how about the females dress exotically adn do some gyrations along the railing. Since the art of exotic dancing seems to be Coach Price's hobby it might serve to distract him during the game! Horizontal rail dancing?!

I seriously don't like the fact that Tulane or La Tech won't play home and home with us...

What the hell are their problems?

They are "above" us. They are "better" than us. And our fans show up well.

This all equates to if they lose to us, which is very possible given how well we travel in-state, it would look really bad for their program.

I'd say getting blown out by Army on homecoming looks worse... but hey, that's just me.

scarcasm ? (grins)

Sarcasm? Moi??!?

[CajunFun]

First time I've seen "amazing" in a sentence talking about Tayk fans.

Or "pretty."

[CajunFun]

Not to mention it's the home of moose balls and spaghetti in a red gravy.

You sure that's not spaghetti and red-eye gravy??

[snote]

I don't want UL to play Tech in a Bowl. They're much too far above us to have to stoop to our level.

Sarcasm? Moi??!?

"scarcasm"

was an attempt at satirical humor

Mr. R, a serious question -

What's your feeling on LaTech being in the current WAC with the other 8 members all being from 1000 to 4000 miles way?
