Recently I happened to find an old El Paso Buzzards 1997-98 complete trading card set from their second season in the Western Professional Hockey League.
Paul Strelzin began his career in El Paso as a sports announcer in 1968 as the public address announcer for UTEP track meets. Sadly, this El Paso sports legend passed away at the age of 75 on Friday night.
Last night, I was enjoying UTEP's fourth win of the season, a convincing 31-17 win over Colorado State. All of a sudden, I looked up into the stands at the Sun Bowl, and I saw tens of thousands of empty seats.
