Aggies Go for the SAH-WEEEEP

I'm about to hit the road for the rematch between NMSU vs. unm. The lead for the Rio Grande Rivarly at stake.

Very excited for my first venture out to the vaunted Pit. However, you silly loobs, just remember: the whole reason your arena is world famous has nothing to do with your team, university, or program. Lets remember the real reason why it's so highly thought of;

Best video I could find of the historic 1983 National Championship game as I'm pressed for time.

I'm off. As always I'll have a game recap a week or so after the fact.

GO AGGIES!

To Believe, or Not to Believe?

If anybody follows Teddy Feinberg's blog closely, you'll have seen a couple of comments of grave concern regarding the Herb Pope saga. (If you aren't familiar with the story ... where you been?)

The first one states:

Anonymous said... So I hear Pope is leaving L.C. He is fed up with waiting and he no longer has an interest in playing for Mr. Menzies...

An innocuous statement coming from anonymous, but Feinberg (or was it Jason Groves) gives this comment some validity. By stating this:

I honestly don't think Herb is going to play here. I've heard different rumors, nothing concrete. I just think that the system should not work this way and that something isn't right. I know that's not what Aggie fans want to hear, but you're just getting my gut feeling, nothing more, nothing less. Sorry....

The statement is vague, and relies on "gut feeling". But if that is what we should base it on, why not talk more about the rumors? I understand the ethics behind journalism, and how explicitly stating such comments, without anything "concrete", would be shoddy work.

That's reasonable.

However, he implies numerous sources by using the phrase "different rumors".

That's troubling, despite the consistency of the cement. The very fact he states this publicly, should be the greatest cause for concern.

Woe is NMSU.

Hey Schools Over. Here's Week Old News

I was suppose to give a recap, so here it is: We killed the loobs, despite anything you may have heard. The last ten minutes were never close, and Toppert was their only source of offense. Rio Grande Rivarly is knotted up at 4.5-4.5. Important games pending in this series.

Swept by jutep. Oh well. My poo still looks better than their ugly orange, and we beat them in football.

Loobs in Town Tonight

First off, hats off to the Lady Aggies. They ended a ridicously long losing streak against the Lady Loobs this past weekend. They, also, picked up some much needed points in the Rio Grande Rivarly, and took the gorilla off their back. Tonight though matches up the men for their 199th meeting, and let me tell you ... I'm very excited.

I expect the students to be loud and raucous. I also expect a lot of them. For those who show up there is a sixth man gameplan being distributed. I like it and hope people partcipate. It should be a lot of fun.

A recap coming after the game.

In the mean time, enjoy this -- poorly lit -- video from lasts years thumping of UNM.

Did You Know?

Basketball season started about 3 weeks ago. However, I barely woke up from my coma, which was induced by the disappointing football season. Quick recap of what happened so far after the jump.

Lost to Ohio. A game we should have won, but it was the first game of the season. No biggy.

Lost to Duke. I fucking HATE Duke. They suck, but not at basketball.

Beat UC-Davis and LeMoyne Owens. Broke the seal. Crowds were lacking.

Lost to Texas. I thought we competed fairly well after a slow start. Which I think is impressive considering Texas just knocked UCLA off their #1 pedestal.

Lost to West Virginia. We ran out of gas in the second half. Winnable game slips through the cracks.

Lost to pinche UTEP. An early Christmas gift for the Miners; gift wrapped in white and black.

Beat Chicago State. Aggies looked good in this one.

Lost to North Texas. Terrible loss. You cannot blow a 21 point lead to anybody playing at home. Just a lack of poise, and poor execution.

That's a record of 3-6 for you math majors out there. Not the way most fans expected to start the season. Thanks to the NCAA Clearinghouse we are without our star recruit Herb Pope. Also missing because of the Clearinghouse Jamhar Young, a threat from the outside.

I still have high expectations for this team, but any thought of going deep into the NCAA's will be put on hold.

Well Done, Sir

First off, I'm tweaking some stuff on the site. As you may see each post is followed by the word JUMP. That should only apply to my 11/19 post. Disregard it for all other posts. I'm new to this HTML shit, so bare with me.

Anyways back on point... I don't know who went through the trouble to put this montage together, but I thank you. Excellent choice for the pep talk. Very apt, I might say.

No There is No Other One

Preface:

Wow. Before I start I must state: I'm a little flummoxed at the moment. I mean really. Did I just witness a throughly a trashing by the hands of Utah State? In football? Did Jaycee Carroll decide to put the pads on? Wouldn't surprise me, seeing how the Baggies lit up the Aggies for 35 points. That's 3 - 5. Utah State was cruising into Las Cruces at 10mph. A primer colored lower rider their car, a 16 game losing streak their tow. They left town in the same low rider -- still that shitty football team from Logan -- but without the baggage of a soul crushing losing streak. Hats off to the USU fans in attendance. They were a loud and spirited bunch, with good reason. The Aggies, and I lie, were only too happy to oblige.

After the jump, my take on the team, and Mumme.


The Aggies. Oh, Aggies, why have thous forsaken me? A true performance of no effort. Holbrook the name exception -- Buries looked pissed looking at the lack of support -- but there were a few others. After I waxed poetic about the team never giving up. A large portion of the team as succumbed. It's bitter, but the lack of students at the game was probably a God send.

The blame, and rightfully, is piling on Mumme. The rumor most troubling is that he is out. Forget what I said last post. The fire Mumme train is barreling forward. How soon it arrives is up to speculation, but the earlier it happens, the worse the departure will hurt NMSU.

That's right, I still believe he needs another year. Despite for all intents and purposes the team quitting on him, he needs to stay. I may be naive, but the alternatives on the radar are far worse than one more year under Mumme.

*ed. note* These alternatives don't necessarily go hand-in-hand, or are they independent of each other. Honestly, I'm just rambling.

Alternative 1:

We fire Mumme. We still have to pay him. Then we have to pay the replacement. Not an effective use of scant resources. Besides, there is not a single coach on the carousal that is too good to pass up. Let me rephrase -- There is not a single coach, NMSU could plausibly get on the market right now, that we must snatch up. Nobody (save Lloyd Carr) is turning this program around in their first year. Why start all over again, and possibly face another 0-12 season. That outcome certainly wouldn't help revenue.

Alternative 2:

We fire Mumme. We drop down to whatever the hell they call D1-AA these days. We get expelled from the WAC. Everyone, including your grandmother, suffers. We do not(!) want that. It'd be like going to collegiate high school football games. And I don't care what you say; H.S. football sucks vinegary balls. Small and slow players that run the same play 95%** of the time. Of course, I'm just speaking from watching the covenant LCHS/MHS game, that everybody just loves so much. Bottom line, it would suck all around. Question for readers: Are there any schools D1-AA in football, but D1-A in basketball?

Alternative 3:

We keep Mumme. Let him have a full recruiting class, which is shaping up to look quite nice, mind you. We make BIG changes on defense and special teams. Who knows, things might right themselves, or we might continue to suck. But at least we are making the most out of our investments.

****************

My alternatives aren't end all be all, and to be frank, are probably factually wrong lacking in detail. Nevertheless, it is worthy of consideration

Hopefully, for the sake of your grandmother, Dr. B and President Martin stick with their guy. I'm sure they will, but then again, this is NMSU.


**Probably bullshit

JUMP

Do You Even Care?

Well do you, Hal?

The team, especially the defense, seems to have taken on your laid back, never get fired up, attitude. It shows. NMSU gave up 51 points to San Jose State, one of the worse offenses in the WAC NATION.

Poor tackling, DBs worried more about their receiver than the ball he is about to catch, and piss poor tackling underscore the painfully obvious. The guys giving up all the points are poorly coached, and it seems no one on the sideline cares.

Our offense could barely muster a measly 17 points. Another game where the yards are plenitful, but we fail to produce any points.Great game plan we had there, Hal.

Well, you better light a fire Hal, you got one more year. If not NMSU goes back to the drawing board. I don't want to see that happened, honestly. However, you gotta do something to change a small, but growing sentiment.

What I'm saying Coach, is get in your players faces and COACH! Act like you give a damn out there. If you don't change things around, this will be the end of the line for your career.

Open Letter to Shithead Students

I submitted the following letter to the Round-Up, NMSU's student newspaper. It's not verbatim, as I wanted to maintain the tenor I’ve set for this site. The basic point is still intact. Read it. Embrace it. Fondle it. Do whatever want, but if you participate in this trash; I beg you, grow some balls and tell it to a players face.

Disgusted. That word was prominent while sifting through the plethora of emotions I felt after the heartbreaking loss to the University of Nevada Friday night. This is a shame because I felt nothing but pride for the football team. Those guys played their hearts out, but came up just a bit short. My most emphatic praise goes out to each and every one of them. As a fan, all I can ask is that the team give 100%, and not surrender. They have not disappointed in this regard.

Unfortunately my fellow student supporters have the notion they could do better. This is where my disgust lies.

After a slow start from our offense, I heard a small group of students yell at Chase Holbrook that he, and I quote, “*expletive* sucks!” The root word of the expletive rhymes with suck (i.e. fuck). This is appalling to hear coming from those who claim to be Aggie fans. Not only that, Holbrook is a legitimate NFL prospect. So add ignorant to that group’s pitiful repertoire.

Paul Young, the true freshman kicker who started out as the backup to the backup, was verbally assaulted after missing the game winner. Way to show compassion people. These guys are students, just like we are. The next time you fail at life -- probably happens everyday -- give me a call. I’ll come over and fart in your face. That is poetic justice my friends.

More was said, but the action, which I fortunately did not witness is the real purpose I write. I have heard from several people that things have been thrown at players and coaches. It didn’t take place at the Nevada game, but for it to have occurred at all is troubling.

This type of behavior is unacceptable, and I expect President Martin and Dr. Boston to tackle this issue personally. It goes beyond the Nice Shot Asshole chant, and freedom of speech. A potential powder keg is brewing if this type of behavior persists.

Fans should be supportive at the games, regardless of the outcome. If that is beyond your mental capacity, don’t bother showing up.

You stay classy NMSU.

Louisiana Tech - 22 NMSU - 21

I've had a small, and I'm sure unnoticed, hiatus. Those demoralizing 58-0 losses on national television, doesn't really bring out the fan in one. Even more trying is to remain positive and optimistic. I've been as flaccid as a wind sock on a calm day. The athletic department should hand out piles of joints during the football season. Bring out the students, and make another miserable loss just seem funny.

However, seeing the Aggies blow a 21-9 4th quarter lead tonight is enough to drive one to drinking. As if one needs a reason to drink.

I didn't get to see the whole game, but I was able to watch all of the second half. Things looked great, and then I did the unforgivable. I jinxed my team. I muttered a question about bowl games and getting tickets. Clearly, I was not thinking.

After that, the Aggies defense dropped two interceptions. Alex Bernard let one bounce off his hands, which deflected into the arms of a LA Tech receiver. Oh I should have mentioned this happened in the fucking end zone. Six points Bulldogs. The second INT dropped was off another deflection. This time a ball shot through the hands of the Bulldogs wide-out, and the hands of CB Woods. An easy pick-6 falls harmlessly to the ground.

Then, in what was turning out to be a spectacular night for Chris Williams, he drops a perfectly laid ball inside the red zone. Turns out to be huge, as even a field goal at this point would have iced the game. No disrespect to C-Dub. He made a lot of big time catches tonight, but he did drop the biggest. With no doubt, he'd probably say the thing. Thats why it's so easy to cheer for the guy.

But such is life my fellow Aggie fans. We drop a heart-breaker in Ruston, and we have only ourselves to blame. I will echo what I've heard; the coaching, particularly defensively, was horrendous. The play calling late in the fourth quarter is not the way our offense should operate. It seems after the big drop, everything was geared towards chewing up clock. However, in all that incompetence, coach forgot the most effective way to run the clock is by picking up first downs. Running the ball for little to no gain does not this accomplish.

The plan was to call out the secondary, but what's the point? They just need to step it up another notch ... more like two. A bit of constructive criticism -- Break to the damn ball like your life depended on it. Too much listlessness out there. You sure aren't tackling very well, might has well break up some passes. /plan

On a positive and final note, JJ McDermott played fantastic tonight. He was really laying the ball in the right spots tonight, and has bonerific arm-strength. I hope Chase is back next week, but I wouldn't mind seeing JJ in person.

Buy that Boy a Beer

Hey, what do you know, this is one of those non-Aggie related posts.

I was watching the Yankees and Indians game with my dad last night. At one point, when the game was tied, an Indian batter popped a ball up towards the third base side. A-Rod drifts into foul territory and inched to the stands. As A-Rod was looking up to make the catch, the Indians fans in the area inexpicably make room for him to make the play. I look over to my father, and say, "What the hell are those guys doing? Get in the way of that she-male loving pansy." Luckily for the Indians, A-Rod is contractually obligated to play games in October with both hands around his neck. Turns out to be moot in this game. But COME ON fans, gotta be on your toes at all times.

On a side note, how about all dem bugs infesting the stadium? The end draws nigh my friends; hide your first born.

Flash forward to the BoSox and Los Angeles, California Angels of Anaheim game.

The Angels are clinging to a one run lead, and Boston is threatening. There's one out and a Boston batter pops one back. The Angels catcher has a bead on the ball, and once again the ball is going into the stands. The catcher reaches out and is just about to make the catch -- When! -- a savvy young fan snatches it out the air just before it goes into the glove. The extra out gives Boston the chance to sacrafice in the tying run. The guy was a hero. He was getting high-fives the whole evening, and even gave a couple of interviews.

I just thought "awesome". Thats exactly what you are suppose to do fans, give your team a chance to win. The great thing is, he was entirely within his rights. Awesome.

To conclude: Boston>Cleveland. Has if you needed someone to tell you that one.

The South is Still Segregated, Right?

No shit? Really? Integrated, huh? I'm sure in some places I'd be right. (see I was somewhat right)

Well good thing, because The Aggies make their way to the Land of Skynard this Saturday. They meet the historically mighty, but currently meek Auburn Tigers. That's in no way meant to disrespect the Tigers. Just relatively speaking, they aren't very good this year. Not that NMSU is some big fat dynamo, but it at least gives us some hope.

Coach Tubby, of Auburn, is so perplexed by his teams play he actually closed practice to outside observers Tuesday. That's rare, since most (hell even I) considers NMSU to be an inferior team. Not to mention unpopular. Their QB situation is also up in the air. They have been deploying two guys to field snaps: one is a true frosh, and the other just sucks (I guess). If the Ags can put some heat on them, and put points on the board early, we just may pull out the upset. Pull out all over them!

Karma is hopefully on our side. Auburn's president, I think Douche Bag (aka: Jay Gogue) is her name, made some disparaging remarks about NMSU a few months ago. A former employer of Ms. Bag. What a classy asshole. Eat shit.

A big third down converstion coming up? I have no idea. Forgot (read: too drunk) to take notes.

Woo! Yeah-Yeah! Woo! Lets Get DRUNK(er)!

Lets Get it On! Note the Ref.

And I'm Spent.

Myhalf-ass brief analysis: It was quite the win for the Aggies. Chris Williams took over the second half as if someone took his memorabilia. The defense, thankfully, remained strong in the fourth. Despite persistent kicking woes NMSU held strong, and overcame some adversity to pull off the win. One final note - baby oil wrestling is a weird way to spend an evening. Not that I'm complaining.

Broken. Beaten. Owned. And a little drunk. That's it. At this moment in time, that is all I am.

For now, all I have to say - Thanks for showing up defense. You played an intrigal and important part, nay, the most imporant part in our loss tonight.

Stalling in the red zone, in a word, blows.

I'm shaking right now. My foot is tapping up and down. Tap, tap, tapping. The gameday is hours away, and it should be a good one. Seriously, this time, my erection is threatening to burst out of my underwear. Just kidding ... I don't wear underwear.

Can the Lobos offense pick it up after a dismal performance against PrepSchool-Texas El Paso? Can the Aggies high-octane offense penetrate a hard hitting Lobo D? Will we be able to stop the run, and give our offense a chance to get in rhythm? These questions and others will be answered.

For now, how about some photoshop fun. A fellow over at Crimson Storm created some gems. Special Thanks to abqaggie49.

And my favorite....

Poor Rocky, keep thinking defense, and playing not to lose is the way to go.

Alrighty folks, I'm outta here. I'll be up in Albuquerque for the weekend. Hope to see the lot of you there.

A Fortnight of Rivalry

Doesn't get much better than this boys and girls. Next up on the slate, UNM. Followed by the moronic Minors (Miners? doesn't matter).

I can't adequately state this, but I am fucking excited.

I don't want to jinx us (or sound like a buffoon), but this season feels special (as I already stated). These games will either catapult the season, or drag it to screeching halt. I cheer for the former.

A split will be acceptable, but I'm expecting a sweep.

Try to make it to both games people. The home game against Texas-El Paso is slated as crimson-out. Pick up a shirt if you don't have one. Too cheap? Hit me up, I've got plently.

Finally, congrats to the volleyball team tonight. They defated the Lady Lobos 3-1, and take the 1.5 points for the Rio Grande Rivalry.

Top 5 Stories of the Offseason (cont.)

The offseason had a lot of interesting stories. I'm counting down the 5 most noteworthy. My criteria: Whatever I remembered, I wrote about. You'll find the top 2 stories here.

#2 Chase Holbrook

Boy, oh boy this could be very exciting – Chase is looking to build upon his breakout 2006 season, and stake claim to every Aggie passing record in just his junior year.

In addition, this offseason Chase garnered himself plenty of media attention. He is on the Manning Award watch list, as well as being listed for the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award. But wait, there’s more. He’s even being mentioned as a long shot Heisman candidate.

That guy is pretty good, if you like 6’5” 240lbs quarterbacks, with a laser-rocket arm.

That’s pretty impressive for a junior at a school with almost no football tradition. Does he have a chance at any of these awards? They are paper-thin at best. He’s not even the best quarterback in the WAC. Some punk from Hawai'i claims that honor.

#1 And So… It Begins

Our rivals were chomping on the bit when Reggie left. They said there goes Herb Pope. There goes your pipe dream of Sweet 16’s and beyond. Reggie used and abused you.

Well the eggs landed not in Las Cruces. Nope. They are over the faces of fans in Reno, Provo (or some other town nobody cares about in Utah), Albuquerque, and El Paso. NMSU got the last laugh for once.

Starting a coaching search in June was not ideal, but Dr. McKinley Boston was prepared. He wasted little time formulating a list of candidates – that at one point even included a mystery candidate (and I always say to take whats in the box)– and when the dust settled Marvin Menzies remained standing.

I, for one, welcome our new basketball overlord.

*It's worth noting that Menzies took over Theus's old job at Louisville, before taking over his old job at NMSU.*

Menzies has already been worth the hire. He retained Assistant Coach Chris Pompey, who has crucial recruiting ties to the east coast. He retained, in it’s entirety, the class recruited by Theus. That alone would have justified the hire. Howev-ah, he brought in Wendell McKines, a three-star highlight reel from San Francisco for the 2007-2008 (he took Nelsons scholarship). This propelled NMSU's 2007-2008 incoming class to #18 in the nation, according to collegehoops.net.

I’m pleased to say it didn’t stop there. He also lined up two talented walk-ons. 7-foot Hamidu Rahman, and four-star talent Troy Gillenwater will sit out the upcoming season. Both players should be on scholarship and contributing for the 2008-2009 season.

It seems, at least for now, those pipe dreams are realistic expectations. I have faith Menzies, with good reason, won’t disappoint.

Well enough with the old news. The offseason is OVER. Praise Jebus. Kickoff is only hours away, and I can barely contain my erection excitement. GO AGGIES!

Top 5 Stories of the Off-season

The offseason had a lot of interesting stories. I'm counting down the 5 most noteworthy. My criteria: Whatever I remembered, I wrote about. You'll find 3/5ths of the list here. The top two stories will be posted later in the week.

#5 Smarty Pants from Da U transfers to NMSU

Rhyan Anderson was a highly rated defensive lineman coming out of high school. He signed up at the University of Miami, but saw limited playing time. He graduated from Miami in three years, and will now be a graduate student at NMSU. This leaves him with two years of eligibility.

Was that dry enough for you? Look, I don’t know anything about the guy, but he has good size at 6-foot-5, 245 lbs. From all accounts he is aggressive and has speed off the line. Hopefully he helps a woeful pass rush. In all honesty though, I only gave him the spot because I want to know to know one thing -- What does he think of Ned?

#4 Tyrone Nelson - Convicted Pie Snatcher

He pleaded no contest to charges of beating down a pizza dude, then stealing a pizza and some wings. From Dominos no less! Tyrone baby, what are you thinking? Everybody knows if you are going to grab some free pizza you call up Pizza Hut.

Regardless, Nelson sealed his fate, and was kicked off of the basketball team. Nelson had an impressive run as an Aggie, and his loss will have a negative impact on the season. In his first season Nelson averaged 17.8 PPG and 8.7 RPG. An injured hand hampered his second season, but he played on all cylinders during the WAC Tournament. I have more to say, but I will post that later. For now…C’iest la vie Tyrone, next time don’t bring your brother and cousin along for the ride.

On the lighter side…AJ Harris, second WR on the depth chart, was also arrested. He was charged with getting his pimp on with the ex. They were later dropped.

#3 Fuck You, Billy Boy

Yeah that’s right I’m talking to you Billy Donovan. I blame you. You had to be a little pussy and crawl back to Florida. Why couldn’t you be a man, and go to the pros, suck it up like all the others of your ilk have, and then come back to the college ranks?

*clears throat*

Oh, excuse me. You probably have no idea what I’m ranting about. Let me explain.

Billy Donovan, former/current coach of the Florida Gators, had accepted (and signed!) a contract with the Orlando Magic. Ron Jeremy Stan Van Gundy was set to be named coach of the Sacramento Kings. Alls wells that ends well, que no? Well, in a word, no.

NBA Head Coach - Stan Van Gundy

Oops. Sorry Stan ... Mr. Van Gundy ladies and gentlemen.

Which brings me back to my point. With Donovan finding out he has no penis, he quickly backed out of his contract and bolted back to Gainesville. The Magic ran off with Van Gundy, and the Maloof brothers were left with their vaginas in their hand.

Have YOU seen my penis anywhere?

Now you may ask yourself; what does all this drivel have to do with NMSU? And all I have to say is; Fuck. You. This isn’t drivel; this shit is apt to NMSU. Because anybody who reads the sports page will know that those girly-men (Gavin and Joe Maloof) grabbed Reggie Theus right out from underneath NMSU. We never saw this coming! I mean a guy who from day one said that he was an NBA guy, taking an NBA job! The audacity of it all!

Honestly, Reggie’s departure was a season earlier than I expected. He, and his caveman brow, weren’t made for Las Cruces. And like I said, he said from day one he wanted to coach in the NBA. Donovan had nothing to do with that, by the way (especially that furrow brow). I think the Kings, as an organization, took a flyer on him as an NBA head coach, but that’s their prerogative. I’m actually looking forward to the preseason game between the Kings and the Mavs at the Pan American Center. I’ll get to shout out – Reggie! Reggie! Reggie! – for the last time.

Coaching: so easy a caveman could do it.

The silver lining – Opposing fans can no longer “hang” this kind of crap over our heads (except the whole robbing a pizza guy thing). Bad pun intended.

Lets Start This Off..

You know there is very little in this world that I don’t find intriguing. However, very little of it excites me. I could see on CNN that we discovered a cure for cancer, and I would be amazed-- for several long seconds -- before seeing what’s on Comedy Central.

Then, there are sports. Nothing, not even a cure for cancer, will have me pacing around a room, rubbing my sweaty palms, and blurting out obscenities with no regard to the small children sitting in the area. It may not be the prettiest sight, but there is no controlling this. There is nothing more exhilarating than a come from behind victory, or a David vanquishing a Goliath.

You know what’s even better? When a team you cheered for since you were a little boy, excited you in this way.

The NMSU Aggies’ are that team for me. And their star is rising. The feeling here in Crimson Land is electrified. So much so, that is has compelled me to start this here site. I’ll focus primarily on the men’s teams in football and basketball. However, I’ll be all over the place, and you can expect to find some commentary you don’t wish to read. Screw you too.

With all that said, I’m hoping to have some fun covering the Aggies. I hope the readers are active and insightful. It will make my job easier, and I’m lazy. More importantly, I hope the readers flood my inbox with some sexy* NMSU girls (non-NMSU girls work jus as well), so I can decorate the site with.

Acceptable Picture. And yes these girls go to NMSU.

*No fat chicks.
