Seriously, what's wrong with people? You used to go to a game, toss back a couple of cold ones and have a good time before kickoff. Now there is crap like this, from Saturday night's Texas Tech-Texas El Paso game in El Paso.
Click here to see the video, which features haymakers from men and women. Several men are left on the ground with injuries and one person was taken to the hospital. Two men were arrested, but not for fighting. They were wanted on outstanding warrants.
Texas El Paso could not overcome injuries to several key players and finished 2-10 in Sean Kugler's first season as coach. The Miners play Texas Tech and Kansas State in the first month and best-case scenarios have the team winning four games.
Nothing against Mike Price, but new Texas El Paso coach Sean Kugler is considerably more menacing when carrying a pickaxe.
Kugler is an interesting hire. He has coached on the high school, college and NFL levels. The man, unlike all those sons of college coaches who get pulled up by daddy, has paid his dues.
The schedule is favorable, especially in September. A 4-0 or 3-1 start is possible. If that happens, the Miners will have set themselves up to play in a bowl.
Thanks to Denise.
If a sixth consecutive losing season wasn't enough to send Texas El Paso's Mike Price into retirement, perhaps a seventh will make the 66-year-old coach consider a life of leisure at his vacation home on the shore of Idaho's Lake Coeur d'Alene. Nothing will come easy for the Miners, who open at home against Oklahoma, then travel to Mississippi before playing host to New Mexico State. A trip to Wisconsin follows, meaning a 0-4 start is likely. For once, Price isn't complaining about a challenging schedule. "I love what I'm doing," he said. Nonetheless, this is the final year of his contract, so let the speculation begin.

After the jump is Texas El Paso's season ticket video.
Mike Price, entering his 30th season as a college head coach, faces one of his biggest challenges as he begins his eighth season at Texas El Paso. The Miners return only two starters on offense and will need a veteran defense (nine returning starters) to carry the team through the first half of the season.
