2012 UTEP Football Schedule

right off the bat are Oklahoma and Wisconsin. We’ll see how things go at Ole Miss, they might be a mess, but unless we’re ready for a strong year, we probably lose that one too. In conference we’ve got a tough road, but I don’t think Houston, USM, or Tulsa are as strong as last year.

We get Rice, Tulane, SMU, and UCF here. I can see us winning 3 of 4 there, maybe 1 or 2 on the road in conference, and 1…maybe 2 ooc. So, I’m thinking 5 wins, but 6 to 7 is possible. We return our QB, and his top target. We lose a lot (starters) from the defense, but we’ve got some solid reserves, and new players coming in that could step up right away. This team could be good, but I think “good” means 6 wins. Anything more than that would be a great success.

They had TCU on their schedule before any of this realignment, but now that TCU is in the Big 12, that game becomes a conference game. So, they needed to fill a spot, and there aren’t many people still trying to fill spots this late in the game. And, considering UTEP needed a home slot, that was the only way it would happen. No way, UTEP was going to OK, Miss, and Wis, and only playing 5 home games this year. I’m sure we’ll end up going to Oklahoma to pay them back for this, maybe twice in the next years.

And it sucks for people who legitimately want to attend the game getting shafted because of all the amateur scalpers hogging up the seats.

This game will sell more season tickets due to the fact it’s a guaranteed OU ticket.

It kinda seems like it. You’d think a guy that down to his last chance would want a more favorable schedule.

and what those will sell for are two totally different things. I think you can get general admissions for like $12-$15 or something, but I would assume that game will sell out very quickly, and then its all on the scalper.

Heh

for 17%. Looks like SMU will be the Depaul of the south when they get to the BE. I can’t wait until SMU or Houston pulls a Saturday/Monday at nay combo of Gtown/SU/Pitt/UCONN. That should be a fun road trip.

They had 12 points at the half! I remember when I was freshman at EPHS, we were COMPLETELY outmatched against the new school Chapin. They were rolling everyone by 20, 30, 40 points. So, considering there was no shot clock, I told coach let’s run 4 corners as long as we can, to slow the game down. It worked for about a quarter, and I wanna say we were down like 6-4 at that point. You’d think that’s what SMU was doing last night. It’s just crazy. In their last two games they’ve scored a combined 67 points. Of the other 4 teams in action last night, 3 scored more than 67.

That is that the game will be a sellout, but I just can’t see the Miners opening the season on top of their game. And it would take that, along with OU having a bad day, and all balls bouncing our way. I just can’t see it happening. I just want to see the team play competitive, and stay healthy. Last thing we need is to start losing players week 1.
