W ' Before rjecorning a Lobo, iQKay won 22 percent of his' Pac-1- 0 games at Oregon State and powered the school to two riinth-plac- e finishes. McKay won 10 games last season as a Lobo. The 15,186 attendance average in 2002-200- 3 was the lowest in 22 years. That rekindling process could be a long wait, Rudy. If nothing else, the numbers crunch" ing should get Davalos' attention. Let's see, UNM is down 5,217 fans over two games this season. Let's say that's $ 13 a head at the gate and another $ 10 a head at the concession stand. Bafl.

If McKay fails this season, expect season ticket sales to drop again. I An ignored facility: The Pit is old and fading. It needs a food court and honors hall on the East side.

I No more blackmail: A huge key for UNM's season-ticke- t sales was the belief that if you didn't buy a season ticket, you wouldn't be able to get into The Pit for the big games. UNM no longer has this blackmail edge. The weak scheduling has chased holdaway enough Lobos season-ticke- t ers so that discerning fans can simply pick and choose the home games they want to see. Now.if you think this sounds like a crisis smjation, you're right. The Lobos' cash cow is dying and something needs to be done. A good start would be for Davalos to quit fiddling around. |
