"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.

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

      Lambert? You mean that guy left his park ranger job to get back into the game? You better call Eric Morris. We are going to need his toughness on defense at LB.

      Any word on Buggs?

      This may be why he is in the portal. Maybe he was encouraged to enter the portal to open up a spot for a better player.

      You've heard of Hook 'em, Gig 'em, Wreck 'em, Sic'em, what about...

      Scrap'em is (or was) a thing. I remember in the late 90s there was some sort of Administration decision that "Scrap'em Eagles" would be our official battle cry. Probably only a few people were ever aware of it, but Talons got the memo.

      SB at Charlotte (5/3-5/24)

      It all comes down to this. The softball ladies are a game behind FAU and Charlotte for first place in the conference. The Mean Green already own the tiebreaker 2-1 with FAU, so winning two of three in Charlotte this weekend would also be huge in that it would give the ladies the tiebreaker over both teams in case there is a three-way tie at 19-8. The biggest reason to try to take two of three in Charlotte is that second and third place in the conference is the difference between having to win just two games in two days to make it to the NCAA Tournament, or four games in four days. We can't finish lower than third. Fourth place Tulsa is 3 games behind UNT, and we swept them earlier in the year. Tulsa plays at FAU this weekend. Charlotte will be a tough out. Last year by way of playing one fewer conference game due to a rainout, they finished with one loss fewer than UNT and won the regular season title. However, we took two of three at home to the 49ers before beating them again in the conference tournament. They still made it to the NCAA Tournament as an at-large. This year, Charlotte has taken 2 of 3 at USF and vs. Wichita State while sweeping the likes of UAB and Tulsa, and are on an 11-game win streak overall. Standings going into the final weekend. The conference tournament is May 8-11 in Wichita. If we make it to the final on Saturday at 11 am, be prepared to drop everything and head up to Kansas to support! SCHOOL CONF CPCT. OVERALL PCT.
