Week 5 Matchup!

Okay Miners, this is where the competition is going to step up another step. Our opponent for this week is that wacky Duck from Oregon. He will go to any length to try and beat our Paydirt Pete. What we need from you is VOTES! If we can keep the pace, we can surely win.

Don't let that sweet face fool you, the Duck, besides Big Blue, is the only other opponent to go 4-0 just like us. You know what that means? We're here to hand him his first loss. We've done it the first 4 weeks, now we have to continue to do it the next 8 weeks! I have faith in my Miner fans!

So how can you help me help Pete? By telling everyone you know about the competition. I don't care if you have to ask to borrow someone's cell phone and vote, just VOTE. Ask your friends, your parents, your enemies, your teachers, your students, anyone who can text or vote online to do so. Let's help get El Paso on the map, right where we should be!!

This week we have an away game so we need that extra push!

Alright Miners! Another week down, and it looks like we've secured another W for Paydirt Pete. This is where the competition is going to get tough, but I know we can do it. I will do this week's wrap up and then the profile for our competition for Week 5.

Our Record as of Week 4:
Wins: 4
Losses: 0 (goose egg baby!)
Overall votes: 90,708

There is an away game this weekend, which means we need a greater amount of votes to come from viral messaging. What this means is we need YOU to tell your friends, enemies, compadres, etc. etc. and let them know what El Paso is trying to accomplish!


And most importantly!
