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 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.

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!!!

There is a skying slope in the same city as UNM

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.

      AAC Hoops Tourney Will Stay At Dickies Arena

      I was unable to attend this year in Ft. Worth. How did those of you who were able to attend feel about the venue and the AAC tournament set up?

      Agree...it's a sad state of affairs and I never would have believed that I could have lost so much interest in college sports after being such an avid fan for decades but that is where I am now

      NIL is well on the way to destroying college sports. Anyone that can't see that, is either a fan of the very top tier or is not at all interested in college sports. I have never been less interested in NT sports since I enrolled there fifty plus years ago. The completely inept or/and scared administrators and coaches who continue to remain silent and let the NCAA and court system ruin college sports should be all terminated. The pros are a much more enticing choice than college, because they do understand that competition is the basis of their success. I never thought I would rather watch a random pro game more than a meaningful college game, but I am now there. My rating for NT sports is still around 5, but that is compared to a 10 prior to this NIL nonsense.

      AAC Hoops Tourney Will Stay At Dickies Arena

      Just read in the DMNews.......that the league has agreed to keep the b-ball tourneys in Ft Worth..........through 2028. This is pretty big news....because I've got to figure a lot of the schools (Memphis and the Eastern ones)......would like to see it much closer to them. MU would like it in Memphis. So very happy that it's gonna stay here at Dickies Arena.

      For UNT I’m probably around a 3 or 4. For all of the rest of CFB (daughter goes to a P5 and wife is a big supporter of Baylor) I’m at a 0. I’m not buying tickets to or watching a game involving A5 teams after they screwed everyone and everything. The settlement they forced upon us to cover for their cheating was the last straw. I badly want a way to stick it to the A5 schools while helping UNT as much as I can.
