Regarding El Paso: It ain’t Pasadena, New Orleans, Phoenix or Miami — but I’m willing to bet the city can show you a good time without a Juarez donkey show. Fun places to visit make for a good bowl game, but so do good people. You’ll meet a few here.

And don’t form opinions based on sports talk hosts — nobody I know has gone to Juarez to cruise the bar scene for at least a decade, so there is no chip on our shoulder about “losing our biggest attraction”. We ARE cheesed about losing access to excellent (and cheap) dentistry and pharmaceuticals, though.

Lack of interest in the game is one thing. But when we hear that fans are afraid to visit, it rankles because to us it just seems a little stupid. We feel the need to tell folks that the stats are hard to beat — you’re safer in El Paso than in OKC or Tulsa.

Has anyone heard anything about the QB that is thinking about Oklahoma? Cam Newton??

Berry, you are wrong. It does help Bob one iota…. but that’s about it.

I know you like to think that you have the pulse of the students that you cover. I have not doubt that back in the 70′s and 80′s they didnt give a dame about winning one bowl game to the next but i strongly disagree that this is the csse this year even if it is in the Mexican murder bowl. I think that we want to win because they havent felt it in real way in a long time.
