"The Pac-12 is not expected to renew its contract with the New Mexico Bowl when it runs out after this season, according to two sources. Conference USA will likely replace the Pac-12 and play the Mountain West Conference representative for the 2014-19 cycle, according to a source."

I just don't see any benefits for anyone on playing the spares of an AQ conference as a non-AQ champion or runner-up. When the AQs win that bowl matchup, their media just crow about how pitiful the non-AQs are compared to the AQs. When they lose to a non-AQ, its because they were just to battered from conference season (see Boisie State over OU in the Fiesta Bowl). When Purdue beats Central Michigan or when Mississippi State finishes 9th in the SEC and beats the CUSA champion, I don't think that helps the non-AQs as much as it does when the champion of the MWC plays the champion of the AAC or CUSA's runner up playes the MAC runner-up in a bowl. Plus, its more fair. Of coures, our Go5 best team will still get to play a top AQ team in a BCS bowl, so they will still have that to enjoy as a huge challenge.

Author says Albuquerque is one of his favorite places.

He must like fat chicks..

If we ever make this game, I'll go, but I'm staying in Santa Fe.

Albuquerque isn't horrible but yes Santa Fe is awesome...might be able to work in some skiing as well!

      If I was Coach Hodge, I would have this blown up and posted in the locker room. I would tell the players that this is what people think of you and we need to go out and dominate every team defensively until people start putting some respect on our name. Then when people do start to put some respect on our name, we need to dominate teams some more to leave no doubt.

      Some are arguing on their board about who's better between Yale and UNT. They really can't get past the UNT loss. I really want to get poporn and make an account just to let them know we've finished higher than MN in NET every year since 2020.

      Seems like you've gotten over the speeding ticket well.

      Caponi fired

      I think this is a cop-out. He’s been doing this crap since the beginning of his tenure. The first memorable time was against Navy last year on the first drive of the game from the 1. If in the 5th game of year 1 he was already feeling like he needed to score every drive because of the defense, that's an even bigger problem. I think not having a reliable kicker or punter is the main problem. He went for the points a few times early this season and it didn't work out. Same with some punts that just don't do a good job at flipping the field. I've mentioned in other threads that special teams has also been a problem. Evans is 89th in the country in average punt yardage. We have to have a short kicker and a long kicker. Who the eff does that at this level? That's two coordinators that Morris flopped out on. I'm just waiting on us to move on from Svobada at season's end. Was looking over his profile and I didn't know but he also has Tight Ends this year. Where have the Tight Ends been lately??
