It was quiet in the Sun Bowl on this beautiful November Saturday afternoon.
UTEP had just lost another football game, an 11th for the season. The band played briefly and then scooted out of the tunnel. Only a couple of thousand fans were lingering in the old stadium when the final whistle blew. Then they were gone.
And it was quiet.
The official attendance was 16,597, but it sure looked less than that.
