UTEP Does Not Like Our Press Guides

[RedRiverPony]

Fantastic response, PonyPride, and dead-on accurate.

What the hell is Price talking about? Thomas isn't getting "trampled." If anything, he could have fallen over somewhere near Rogers. He's not even getting tackled! It's not like he "went Albert Haynesworth" on Thomas.

This complaint from Price is just stupid.

PonyPride, bro...brevity, man, brevity....

[Col. Nathan R. Jessep]

Guess since they're 10 point favs, he's gotta think of something to get the Miners up for lowly SMU.

I like those odds

Look at PonyPride, coming through with a full-blown story in response to Price's crying in the El Paso paper.
Great job, and I agree with everything you said.

[Peruna2001]

AWESOME-O says, "Weak!"

Price needed a ladder to reach for this one.

[EastStang]

Hey they beat NMSU and Price probably headed to Juarez, consumed a little tequila, met some local talent, and got the bright idea that we had disrespected his team. Message to Price, lay off the sauce.

[Dement-ed]

I hope the pregame media meal is good, Pride, because you deserve an extra helping. You nailed every response to Price I could think of, and more. Great response.

Hey, I'd submit this fires US up more than them. The underlying implication in Price's comments is that UTEP is the cream of CUSA and we're mere also rans who would dare imply we could play with them.

That's amusing. The standings would suggest otherwise:

SMU: 3-2 (1-0 CUSA)
UTEP: 1-2 (0-1 CUSA)

That's not to suggest that we're head and shoulders above them, but to suggest the reverse is a given is silly, too.

Here's the whiny b*stard at yesterday's news conference.

[PonyPride]

For the record: Coach Price might have an issue with the use of that picture of Justin Rogers, but he didn't seem to mind that UTEP's 2005 media guide was almost identical -- cover design, inside page design, fonts used, etc. -- to SMU's. I'm guessing he'll want next year's UTEP guide to feature no photos (just illustrations done in Crayon) and written in Sanscrit.

Instead of whining about Price, who is obviously getting the attention he intended, can anybody tell me what Bennett is doing to fire up his team and fans? I've heard jack from the Hilltop from Bennett about the game, and the DMN is looking for stuff to print on a daily basis nowadays.

Well, aren't the Mustangs still "scratchin' clawin' bitin' and kickin'" to stay up for their opposition?

[WorldStang]

I agree with Price.. what poor form by SMU. I think we should go back and reprint all media guides with a more typical picture from the last few years.. our guys on their back and the opponent standing over them.

It's Kate Hairopolous' job to get the stories. Get out there and DIG FOR 'EM! That's what a good reporter does!
