NMSU hanging big blue from the rafters?

Post by QuackAttackAggie » March 2nd, 2011, 10:39 am

NMSU used to hang the other teams mascot from the rafters (or a shark, in UNLV's case). Rumor is, they have something to hang for us tonight. Guessing it is going to be a bull.

That's okay, will their mascot have a mustache?

NMSU fans are trying to get it back to the early 90's when we used to average between 10,000-13,000 per game. There is a clip of the 1990 UNLV game in LC where we hanged the shark from the rafters.

The Pan Am will also be getting a new court for next season.

I don't care what they hang from the rafters as long as we hang another L in their loss column.

Northern Iowa needed a new court for their arena this year - they purchased the one from NCAA that they played on when they beat Kansas to get into the sweet 16. Too bad NMSU won't be in the NCAA's this year, otherwise they could maybe do the same. Maybe they can buy the court that USU plays on IN the sweet 16.

A few years ago, I talked about re-growing the mustache I had in college. My wife looked at me and said, "No mustache. They look gay." I vote we re-name Pistol Pete "Brokeback Aggie".

As for Pen State hanging Big Blue, I really don't care, as long as he's well hung.

Ran into Big Blue today, told him about this. He just stood there looking quite confused.

I'm assuming you did not mean well hanged.

How inhumane. We're giving Pistol Pete lethal injection next year.
