Would we like to play New Mexico ?

MeanGreen61 · June 17, 2005

Was ask this question by Loboval on the MWC board. Replied that IMHO a home/home with the Lobos would be welcomed by NT fans. What's your opinion?

"No SMACK intended. Do you think N. Texas would be interested in home/home with UNM? I would like to see it, with the 12 games we need a good team and N. Texas would be a good travel with TCU".

BRING IT ON!!! Playing New Mexico would be great and could possibly turn into a great rivalry. Surely they would come to Fouts.

North Texas and UNM are tied in their all-time series 1-1. The teams last played in 1983 when NT was 1-AA SLC Champs and NT won at UNM 18-8.

I am surprised that the Mean Green hasn't played the Lobos more often. I think it would be an attractive series for both sides.

Bring on the Lobos.( Wolfs)

I may be taking this the wrong way, but it almost seems like the guy is asking if we'd like to join the MWC. I infer that from his comment "North Texas would be a good travel with TCU."

It seems like he's calling us a travel partner for TCU (which wouldn't pertain to football anyway).

Anyway, as far as a OOC series with UNM (if that's what the guy means)......I'm all for it.

In 1982, we had "upset" the 1-A Lobos at Fouts...... PMG and I were so thrilled, that 1-AA NT had upset a 1-A team. Anyway, we had scored the "winning" touchdown with about 30 seconds left to go ahead 17-14 (I think). Anyway, by the time Plummster and I had gotten down from our upper deck seats to the concourse, UNM had scored and taken the victory away from us, 20-17. That was homecoming in '82.

Brief discussion is at the end of this thread. Acknowledged that he felt UNM fans would be for it.

I would be all for a series with the Lobos. Consistently good team with a good group of fans. Plus, I wouldn't mind the road trip to Albaquerque.

I would love to play UNM.

I considered going there.

Alb. is easy and cheap to fly to, and you could walk to campus from the airport if you wanted to.

Skiing nearby, Santa Fe just up the hill...I vote Yes.

There is a skying slope in the same city as UNM

Yeah,it would be fantastic to get a OOC W over a MWC team, not to mention any OOC game.

I would welcome any SBC team playing the LoBlows. I live in the ABQ metro area and could cheer on my favorite SBC team . . . LOL!

After the SBC leaves town I would have to go back to rooting for the home team, eh?j

Go SBC Football!!!

I was at that game in '83 at Albuergque. I was extremely proud of our guys and the way we played field position to our advantage. I think I still have the program somewhere.

A new series would be great since I'm moving to Phoenix and can get there easily.

I like a possible match up like New Mexico. To me, it's like the games we've scheduled recently with Baylor and Tulsa - out of conference and winnable. We need more of those.

Yep, there is skiing right there in town - Paoli Peak or something like that... I haven't been since I was a kid but I remember skiing it in the mid 80's or so. It is not GREAT skiing, mostly tug lines and really only about 2-3 big hills to come down ... with a lot of snow blowers to provide the snow - but it is right there in the city, without having to drive 3 hours to any of the resorts and get gouged.
