  • NMSU.

    How in Hell could anyone think UTEP is 9 points better than anyone?   Based on what?   What happened?  Was I taking a nap?  Dimel quit?  It would take more than that.  Did he take the hc job at NMSU?  Can someone explain this to me.  The aggies come down with the ronas?

  • Isn't it a road game?  Jump on that spread.

    NMSU is a bad team too.  But we could very well lose bigly to them.  Or win bigly.  Or it's a barnburner and someone wins by a FG. Or we both suck so bad no one scores.  I don't know how anyone would handicap this except just pull a number out of their ass.  At the same time, does it really matter?  How many people are really betting this game anyway?  A couple thousand in EP and LC?

  • NMSU is TERRIBLE.  If the Miners don?t beat them by 21 I will be disappointed.  NMSU has a new starting QB and their defense only returns ONE starter.  To give you an idea how bad the Aggies are this year, they lost to FCS Tarleton St 43-17 back in February.  In that game Tarleton scored 43 points starting  their second string QB and five other Tarleton offense starters were benched because of COVID.

  • nmsu and UTEP traditionally battle it out for worst in the country except for the occasional outlier, but UTEP has been so beyond horrible, (seriously, for the past whatever number of years in a row, our win/loss record has to be breaking even our own earlier records for horrible) it is just beyond belief that someone would figure UTEP to be a somewhat dominate team.  Over Montwood Middle School's team UTEP could beat that spread, but they could just as easily get beat by 9.  Montwood Middle-NMSU probably a pretty close matchup right there, too.
    As for nmsu losing to Tarleton State-we could.  We could lose to any team that plays organized football.  The Westside Mustangs could beat us,  Btw, I think TS became part of the Texas A&M system and are in an area that could attract some fine football players so I wouldn't bet money that they would do it again if they played today.  I am still looking for a reason why vegasinsider is crazy and nmsu sucks isn't good enough.  lol

    LOL that was a good one. You still got it old man. Great news that you're still ahead of The SOB, Senile Old Bumbler and not needing someone to "wipe your ass".
    Love you man, you're like the grandfather I wish I never had. LOL

  • We will wildcat them to death.  We will endlessly snap the ball to Wadley, and that will so surprise the hapless Aggies that he will break the LaDanian Tomlinson record, thus redeeming us for all time.
