  1. In 1997 UNM played Louisville in the round of 32 and lost by 1. But the night before the whole team got food poisoning and were sick the whole game. That is the type of luck UNM has. https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/sports/longterm/colbask/men/articles/louisnm.htm
  2. Not the way the bubble is playing out. So many teams on the bubble have already lost today that even Lunardi tweeted out that even with a loss tonight UNM is still in the field.
  3. What does the injury situation look like for Utah State?
  4. That OOC for UNM is atrocious. How is it even possible not to have a power 5 program on the schedule? You're telling me we couldn't convince a Vanderbilt or NC State, or more regional teams like Colorado or Texas Tech to agree to at least a road game for the Lobos? We cannot afford a bad OOC again next year.
  5. Right now, I'm just hoping that UNM doesn't collapse and can make the tournament. I would even be happy with a 12-seed. It's been a painful ten years of being a Lobo fan.
  6. Utah State Colorado State SDSU UNM Boise Nevada Would love to see all 6 somehow make the NCAAT.
  7. It’s official. Bronco is the new UNM coach. Huge for UNM.
  8. You have to go for two and for it on 4th down. UNM is 4-7. We had nothing to lose! Trust your offensive line and your stud RB. I really hope we return our running back and freshman QB. They give me hope for a very bad UNM team. Il not even anti-DG. I just want some excitement in UNM football.
  9. Isn't this decided by APR? If so, UNM is ranked 119th in APR. That probably knocks us out as a 5-7 bowl team.
  10. It’s nice to wake up to a Lobo win on a Sunday. Very few of these the last several years.
  11. What I don't understand is why not join the MW for Olympic sports right a way? The article made it seem like they will be looking at other conferences for their olympic sports. Weird.
  12. Looks like it's going to be a 2 year scheduling agreement with OSU and WSU and an eventual merger after that according to Yahoo Sports.
  13. Dampier is so good. He has such a bright future. My only worry is that with NIL and the transfer rules, his future might not be at UNM.
  14. I feel bad for Danny but if he gets the axe who's next? Maybe an outside-the-box hire like...Brian Urlacher? Why not?
  15. New Mexico used to average 40,000 per game at one point in the 2000's. Then we hired Mike Locksley and we lost more than 60% of our fan support. It could be worse. Boise will recover. I have no doubt about that.
  16. I think it was Dan Patrick who on three different occasions in the last 18 months made this claim. Ever since he left ESPN has he ever been right on any of these claims?
  17. I don't know. The early response from social media indicates that there would be way more interest in this promotion/relegation system than most realize. It makes every game mean something. I'm willing to bet the tv networks might be very interested in this.
  18. I remember from 2009-2013 or so, there were so many members on the Lair. It was a great way for me to get Lobo news as I lived in DC at the time. That place went downhill quickly after the Harvard loss in the NCAAT. I haven't been on the Lair since I was banned by Mark around 2013. It's a bummer about the current situation. The MW board has been a great place for me to get my conference news over the last decade or so.
  19. Joe Maloof played Defensive back at UNM. I think Gavin played at a JUCO in NM. I think it's interesting that the Maloof family got their start in my hometown of Las Vegas, New Mexico but made it big in LV, NV. I remember their grandfather owned a movie theater in Las Vegas, NM and he would walk up and down the aisle with a flashlight and would yell at kids for holding hands or kissing haha.
  20. The Maloof’s would probably be the closest for UNM. One of the Maloof’s actually played football at UNM. I don’t know how involved they are. Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates also have roots here but I don’t think either claim NM at all. Would be nice to have billionaire boosters.
  21. Honestly, if the MW wants to merge with the PAC 2, you all can leave UNM out. Our football team is so embarrassing. You all can do so much better than UNM.
  22. I want what's best for the MW. If WSU and OSU improve our chances to make the CFP then I'm all for it. But now they're trying to do to the MW what the Big 10 and Big 12 did to them.
  23. Time to play hardball with OSU and WSU. Give them 48 hours to accept or they can enjoy independence.
  24. I think it all depends on SDSU, Boise, and maybe CSU. If these three schools say no to the PAC 4 then we might force them to join the conference. If those three decide to jump ship with a few AAC, the MW is done as we know it.
