It is very difficult to tell what kind of team they are right now or are going to become. What we do know, based on the Barbee Miners, is that they are tough, hard nosed, and have alot of fight in them. They seem to have given the Aggies a good old fashioned poleaxing the last couple of games. Looking forward to Sunday and a different outcome. GO AGGIES!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835899929137685677.post-28933075421541758092008-12-11T21:16:00.000-08:002008-12-11T21:16:00.000-08:00The answer is taht yes, NMSU can become a winner a...The answer is taht yes, NMSU can become a winner and win consistently. Nothing is impossible. The real questions, I believe, are: Will sufficient behind the scenes changes be made to make that possibility a reality? Can we scrape together enough added money to mount a high level recruitment effort? Will enough quality athletes choose to come to NMSU with the intent that they can make a difference. Will key athletes who are on the team choose to stay, or will they leave because they believe that the only reason they were successful was the partiular coach they were working with? Will we have a culture of success, of the mental and physical toughness to gut it through the hard times? Will we have the fans that encourage athletes to come to NMSU to stay near home or to come to a rather remote area to compete, or will the fans discourage them? Will we have the support of the students and the community, in Las Cruces and throught the state? Will there be enough people on all fronts that will quit sitting back and waiting for someone else to get things going and to become a part of the solution rather than carping about the problem? <BR/><BR/>These are just a few of the many questions.<BR/><BR/>For too long there's been an attitude of "let George do it." Well, George has been voted off the island. Others will have to step up to the plate - or to change the old saying to make it mre appropriate will they step up to the line of scrimmage?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835899929137685677.post-52362304257141059742008-12-11T08:47:00.000-08:002008-12-11T08:47:00.000-08:00Finding Mumme's replacement is the biggest thing t...Finding Mumme's replacement is the biggest thing to happen to the Aggie football program in 4 years and the Sun-News should be covering it accordingly. Fanoga leaves, did anyone at the Sun-News see that coming? What does Fanoga's departure say about the shape of the program? How does UNM get a coach before NMSU? Who is Locksley? Just because UNM is not NMSU I would like to know who the new UNM coach is. Is DeWayne Walker still on the short-list or did he turn NMSU down? I think Walker turned it down, but who knows. The Sun-News runs an article about NMSU offering to Caro and Hall, Jr. from LCHS and fails to give us any career stats on these kids. How tall is Caro? How many rushing yards did each put up in their respective seasons? The article on both these kids did not seem positive, and there was only a half-hearted mention of NMSU's coaching situation and how it would affect Caro's decision. Come on. The biggest thing to happen to NMSU's football program in 4 years and our local coverage is as poor as the Aggies record over that same time frame. Tell us why we should be excited about Candidate X, or we are looking at 4 years or more of the same. Step it up!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
