That's the problem, even with a good hurry-up offense. The defense rarely has time to rest. Score quickly, and the defense is back out on the field. 3-and-out, and the defense is back out on the field.
If this team wins 4 games this year then Dimel will get a 4th season and there could be reason for optimism. To win 4 games he will have to have laid a solid foundation that is beginning to come of age. We will see. I know we don't have reason for optimism yet but we would if we have 4 wins this season.
That’s true, but our defense is constantly on the field with Dimels offense, which doesn’t score.
It took the aggies 57 years to end that drought. It will probably take us around the same time, maybe a few years longer. It didn’t do anything for them. The Sun Belt still kicked them out.
It doesn’t seem like they are doing fine and have no problems scheduling games. Let’s look at the facts.
Well then don’t make uneducated comments like they have “no problems scheduling.” By the way Texas Southern, the senior night game, is an fcs team.
Again they do because they only have one FBS team in the last six games of the season. We have three as almost everyone else in a conference. They do because they had to ask UTEP for a favor to move our game to November. If we would have said no, they would have played zero FBS teams at home during the last six games of the year. For a team with no schedule problems they sure do seem to have a lot of obvious problems that anyone with common sense can see.
They are having to play at leasr 2 money games per year. I guess you just do what you have to do to survive. In 2021 they play Hawaii twice. In 2022 they play 3 money games and looks like 4 road games in a row. That kind of says that scheduling is hard but to keep things going you just bend over and take it.
To me it says our AD and Prez need to put a lot of pressure on coaches to succeed. If Dimel doesn't have a much improved team this year and still is allowed a 4th year, the prez should fire the AD. We will find out after this fb season, if there is one, if our new prez, who did not hire Senter, is the real deal and will not accept mediocracy and worse.
Not going to happen for NMSU. Take the loss in revenue. Maybe, maybe a vaccine by September but in the U.K., however, Boris and the boys are saying don't bet on it.
Same goes for basketball. I want to see momentum, not drama, poor coaching and what ifs all the time.
This is so dumb. Are you really that dumb? F*ck. If they have no problems scheduling teams, then why do they play the same team twice in a season. Why do they only have four home FBS games per season? Why do they only play one FBS home game in the last six games of the year? Get over it you’re wrong. NMSU is having problems scheduling teams.
@ then. Who says UTEP is great and NMSU sucks? The only ones that think like that are you and AB when you go into what you think is funny sarcastic mode.
If UTEP could become the 12 basketball school in the MWC and could get a scheduling agreement in football for at least 4 MWC games per season, that would be an improvement an a viable option. For the MWC side, they would not be paying UTEP a full share of media money and it gives them more regional games which would be beneficial to all in the hard times ahead.
I'm not saying it's likely but wouldn't you want your AD to push for something like that? And UTEP would not be replacing Gonzaga because they said no to the MWC. His selling points would be UTEP's rich basketball history, excellent attendance during the good times, history with most MWC schools, more regional games for the east division of the MWC, a basketball budget that matches up well with that conference and finally something that appeals to university presidents in these associations, UTEP is a tier 1 research university.
UTEPs window for the MWC has unfortunately closed. It would take a decade of consistent winning, a stroke of blind luck or a boat load of random money to change anything now.
You stated opinions “Because they can” “I’m sure the players are happy about that.” I stated overwhelming evidence showing proof of the difficulty they’re having scheduling teams. For the record they have one team lined up until 2029. Not even UTEP has agreed to a series with them that far out.
