Former UTEP Football coach Mike Price rips ‘Fire Floyd’ sign away from fans

I literally could not believe my wandering eyes at the end of the UTEP-Northwestern State basketball game on Saturday at the Don Haskins Center.

A few seconds after the buzzer sounded signaling UTEP’s third straight loss. I look up to my right while heading to the post game presser and see former UTEP football coach Mike Price quickly charging down the Section U stairs and violently ripped the ‘F’ off a fan made single lettered sign that read ‘Fire Floyd’ between a group of people.

After ripping the ‘F’ away Price proceeded to push the fan and yelled something I could not make out from the press row area right next to the UTEP pep band before a red-faced Price was escorted out by what appeared to be uniformed UTEP police officers.
