Hope not. In that scenario UTEP should just drop football and start a coed flag football team.
UTEP NMSU Preview
- Thread starter MinerFan79
- Start date
Will it be possible to watch the game if you are going to be out of town this weekend. It won’t let me stream kiva if I’m not connected to my home wifi.
Are Aggie and Miner fans going to the game Saturday night will be forced to mask up around Aggie Memorial Stadium?
I know UTEP Miner fans have no reason to feel confident over the last several years, but I honestly am not very worried about the Aggies in this one. I think UTEP is just alot better and deeper than they are.
If you have two quarterbacks you have no quarterbacks?
Thank you, I will subscribe. They should have been able to get it on some type of ESPN channel being one of the first college football games of the year.
The biggest stat that is not "on the field" related is NMSU was a firm "No" to Martin's request to negotiate one additional year to his and staff contract due to Covid. This is the last year ("Martin's base salary for 2018 is $419,640.40, or $55,596 more than his previous base.....runs through April 30, 2022. The base salary increases each year to a high of $437,000 in 2021").
hmmmmmm......is he on the hot seat?
IMO, this month will determine Martin's future and a home game against FCS SC State in four weeks does not look "for sure" after a bad 2021 spring. Beat UTEP, UNM, SC State and a good showing against Hawaii in a month and at home and he should be safe. How can Moccia fire him given the past year circumstance after wins against two deeply hated rivals?
Sure bet: UTEP will see the kitchen sink thrown in for game one against UTEP by Martin. HC's like to avoid razzle dazzle or pulling the ace out, but after nine years, Moccia appears to want to move on and Martin knows it. NMSU will come out swinging hard this game. Dimel better be ready.
Eh... Still not really worried I stick to my 31-21 prediction and that's only, because NMSU might score later in 4th after it's 31-14. NMSU will not stop the run and if they try and Garrison is at least decently accurate, we have 2 outstanding WR's at least compared to what we usually have. Big Plays will be open both in running game and passing and they will be one dimensional with unproven QBs who will be pressured all night.
That’s not how it works anymore. Also, why would ESPN want to televise two dumpster fire programs?
The media rights are with the home school. NMSU made their deal with flosports so those of us out of the area are stuck.
At least if the game was at UTEP it would be on espn3 or espn+. Easy to watch from anywhere.
Is there any possibility that the state of New Mexico will make the players on both teams wear masks while playing the way they are doing with the high schools?
Should we be concerned at all about tackling? Have we tackled since the Spring game? 😅😅😅
Oh, I agree. I was just pointing out that Martin's fanny is on the hot seat, just like Dimel's. But unlike Dimel, Martin just doesn't have the overall depth like Dimel has this year. I didn't know he had 40 new players? That's a challenge. On the flip side, you can count on a Dimel offense to be inefficient for a few drives and Barney Fife a good offensive drive with his play calling instead of putting at the very least 3 on the board.
I believe they post their uniforms day of the game and UTEP isn't too shareable when it comes to numbers.
I don’t think they would be near as bad as NMSU selling less than 7,000 tickets for the game tomorrow. I would guess UTEP has at least 7,000 in season tickets sold.
Maybe but the way things have been going I doubt we have 5k season ticket holders. It would be nice to have a reporter dig that information up.
"This year is the first time since 2019 that NMSU has hosted a true game.....How will this Battle of I-10 be different for the fans? There will be a lot of activities and events before actual game time. Aggie Memorial Stadium seats about 30,000 fans and they are expecting a sell-out. People are not required to wear a face mask in the stadium or while tailgating." https://www.ktsm.com/local/nine-on-9-utep-and-nmsu-football-programs-continue-battle-of-i-10/
Drunk Aggies and Miners in one stadium, post covid in Las Cruces? Maybe I am glad it's there this year.

The other day they were hoping for 20k but expecting 15k. Now they expect a sellout?
24k tickets sold in a 2 day span has to be some sort of record for NMSU.
The game will be streamed at twitch.tv/aggiefromneptune. I stream all the Aggie games so if you don't mind seeing a bunch of Aggies in the chat this is the go to place. I'll be doing this for any Aggie Miner game in the future.
They have this thing called Ticketmaster. You can buy to any event.
