We get to take on the 6th place team from the MWC

I hope Pavin will be paving the field with his runs. Don't take the Bulldogs lightly, they are good even for a 6 place team. I still think Enemas U. will win if they play like we've seen them, especially the way they embarrassed an Auburn team that went head to head with Alabama.

Do you think with NMSU so close to the bowl (300 miles) do you think this game could be a 40k sellout if the weather isn’t freezing in Albuquerque?

Already looks about 60% sold out after just a couple hours. So yeah I bet this one is a full house.

Anyone know if Pavia will be able to play? Missed last quarter of LU game apparently from a nagging injury.

New Mexico State already sold majority of the tickets on their side. The lower bowl on our side only has about 140 tickets left.

Congrats! Go win please.

Damn straight! It feels so great that a long time loser is starting to become respectable and making bowl games! I love rooting for the underdogs just like hoping Liberty can beat Oregon. Gives the rest of us hope

Great job NMSU. If you play like you did against LU you will win this game.

Aggies get win No. 11.

Go Aggies!!! Whip The Bulldogs!!!

So...what's up with Pavin? Why are y'all keeping it so secret? Will he be ready on the 18th? C'mon spill it or I'm putting the lamp directly on your face like they do in murder mysteries by cops.

He's been playing through a shoulder injury for weeks. Per Kill he's cautiously optimistic.

This game is in his hometown, if Pavia is anywhere near being able to play, he’s gonna play.

I’m extra happy when the Diné are included.

For those from other parts of the country, Diné is the Navajo people’s actual name for themselves. Navajo is a word first applied to them by the Spanish.

I’m sure Diego will be in this game. How much, I can’t predict.

When I was back at NMSU in the late 90s early 2000s they stared men's basketball broadcasts in Dine. I seem to remember they added it as a foreign language class at that same time. I might be incorrect about that one though.

Shucks if they're teaching Navajo in school now there won't be any surprises for the Japanese. I'm sure the Chinese are aware of this and will soon have a few "immigrants" at New Mexico schools learning the language.
