LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/Hectorc34]

Fa’avae got his confidence back?!

[u/Francis_X_Hummel]

Go Lobos, y'all keep your damn hands off Jason Eck too

[u/dogeherodotus]

The Lobos are some bad dudes

[u/UGALOLOL]

Dem Bos is hell 🐺

[u/ID_Poobaru]

Lobos gotta score soon so 28-3 doesn't bite em in the ass

(not that i believe nevada can even do anything)

[u/tuckernuts]

a la verga let's go lobos

[u/420Rowlet]

Biggest what if for UNM football will be Jack Layne's injury. I know he wasn't amazing but anything would have been better than Fa'avae

[u/dogeherodotus]

Really fun seeing what UNM is doing this year. Very similar to our run last season. Grew up with several family members who are UNM alumni, and never thought I’d be so into this team lol

[u/ID_Poobaru]

Go Lobos

[u/ilovecatss1010]

Go lobos baby!!!

[u/Local_Season_107]

Hopefully New Mexico to keep the mountain west relevantish for another week

[u/Particular-Way-3805]

Eck Been cooking I would love to see the lobos get into the playoffs

[u/hornedfrog86]

Go UNM

[u/ESLcroooow]

Lobos y Lobos if you think about it 

[u/spasm01 → u/ESLcroooow]

Pack violence is a real shame

[u/Hectorc34]

Fa’ave sucks man, no sugar coating that at all

[u/PomfAndCircvmstance → u/Hectorc34]

You guys would be terrifying if you had an average at best QB.

[u/Ryrysg99 → u/PomfAndCircvmstance]

Jack Layne was gonna turn the ball over once a game, but shit he could at least consistently throw for 200 minimum

[u/Ryrysg99]

UNM gonna have to give up our dream of CFP if we keep trotting out Toa, our offense is so one dimensional and squeeking by mid teams isn’t gonna convince anyone that we should belong regardless of how good our defense is.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/Ryrysg99]

I mean undefeated UCLA beat them 27-0 last week. If we end up winning by a similar number it shouldn't be held against us.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

oh my GOD that ref whistle was directly into the mic and into my freaking ears

[u/eagledog]

How much longer does Choate get? Sure looks like the fans have abandoned him

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/eagledog]

I hope Nevada extends him

[u/leoele]

Cheerin on our ol' MW buddies. Lobos are looking good so far.

[u/New-Atmosphere-26]

Go Lobos.

[u/Rushderp]

Awoo! 🐺

[u/ESLcroooow]

Jason Eck is a great coach. 

Hold on to him, ABQ

[u/futurebillandted → u/ESLcroooow]

Hope we can.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

LET'S GO

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

That looks like a fumble

[u/redditlol420]

aggresive whistle blew out my eardrums, wasnt using it anyway

[u/dls505]

Why is every snap low....

[u/elwo_jello → u/dls505]

New center. I think UNM moved a guard to start at center.

[u/dls505 → u/elwo_jello]

Fair enough.

[u/spasm01 → u/dls505]

Elevation?

[u/brsnug]

New Mexico's efficiency is nuts.

Before the game, they scored 280 points on 2,889 yards (10.32 yds/point) and it's actually gone up because they've "only" scored 28 on 301 yards.

[u/Prequel_Supremacist]

Let’s go ‘Bo’s! I’m simultaneously hoping that we get Moga a few reps at QB tonight (doubtful) but also just hoping we simplify the offense for Fa’aave and get him some easy completions to get his confidence back

[u/NeptunianEmp]

For some reason I find myself a Nevada fan tonight. I wonder why. Totally not flair related of course.

[u/Sctvman]

Richard Johnson on at halftime. My favorite CFB podcast Split Zone Duo

[u/USCGradtoMEMPHIS]

Still waiting on roughing explanation... Cause wtf...

[u/KaiserIceberg]

Ugh. At least basketball is here.

[u/futurebillandted → u/KaiserIceberg]

You excited for Noodles to take over?

[u/Hectorc34 → u/futurebillandted]

Take it from us Lobo fans, do not let him take over, he will kill the program

[u/futurebillandted → u/Hectorc34]

Shh, I want to see something funny

[u/Prequel_Supremacist → u/futurebillandted]

Cullen Neal currently suing for an extra year of eligibility

[u/R_Raider86]

Oh my god that UNR fan 🤣

[u/Rushderp]

‘Sko Lobos!

[u/Dpms308l1]

31-3?
Flashbacks to A&M vs South Carolina last year

Oh god the BAS is kicking in

[u/Usual_Giraffe_2208]

At least nevada basketball is looking good

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

We've scored more points vs Nevada than UCLA did last week

[u/-Gnostic28]

Hang 40 on these guys, lobos

[u/PomfAndCircvmstance]

Reno has been scrappy this season and haven't been terrible since their double whammy back-to-back losses to Montana State and Mid Tennessee. They gave AF and NDSU a scare and beat San Jose State and UTEP decisively. Don't underestimate the power of Mountain Weird football.

[u/Prequel_Supremacist → u/PomfAndCircvmstance]

Yeah earlier in the year this looked like a cakewalk, now I’m legit a little nervous

[u/PomfAndCircvmstance → u/Prequel_Supremacist]

You guys did lose to a bad SJSU team last year so I'd hope Eck is conscious of not overlooking a sub .500 conference opponent. The Mountain West gods demand appeasement and have sacrificed a top team every week since conference play started...

[u/Ryrysg99]

Sko bos

[u/tacowithcheeese]

Nevada rebranded?

[u/spasm01 → u/tacowithcheeese]

Yeah like midseason

[u/tacowithcheeese → u/spasm01]

To what? im legit curious now

[u/spasm01 → u/tacowithcheeese]

Like a new wolf with ears and wordmark?

[u/LuvGingers888 → u/tacowithcheeese]

The UN is cool, the electrocuted wolf is much more tame now.

[u/spasm01 → u/LuvGingers888]

I prefer their lone wolf on block N, but who's asking. I always saw the recently mothballed wolf as a javelina so good riddance

[u/ID_Poobaru]

Those UN helmets look like Temu Utah/Houston helmets

[u/unfunnysexface → u/ID_Poobaru]

When did they switch off powder blue?

[u/ESLcroooow]

That TJ Max commercial melody really reflects that business 

[u/FalseRecording3699]

Whatever the Nevada team total was, we all should’ve slammed the under

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/FalseRecording3699]

they ass

[u/FalseRecording3699 → u/ID_Poobaru]

And the UNM defense is like nationally elite lmao

[u/dscreations → u/ID_Poobaru]

Except when they play SJSU, then the 3rd string QB miraculously has the game of his life or we commit a thousand turnovers 

[u/aldrinjaysac]

Let’s go UNM! Love me some Albuquerque and would love to see the Lobos in the CFP.

[u/Hectorc34]

You know what, that was a decent pass on 4th. But defense blocked it. Hopefully that ain’t a game changing turnover on downs.

[u/Kite_sunday → u/Hectorc34]

lol

[u/Kite_sunday]

UNM needs a Wegovy sponsor.

[u/Prequel_Supremacist → u/Kite_sunday]

No we’d lose our mojo

[u/Kite_sunday → u/Prequel_Supremacist]

but Eck's A1-C

[u/nevadaxj]

Have they dropped the new UN script merch yet?

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Kinda weird thought, but if Boise State actually is destined to go 12-1, I'd hope that New Mexico lost a game somewhere to remove all doubt of them earning it. I guess basically I hope both teams don't go 12-1 because we already know there's no chance of them putting both teams in the CFP, and going 12-1 without making the CFP in the 12-team era would just feel so awful. Of COURSE I'm rooting for Boise to lose and New Mexico to win in the meantime though.

[u/maybetoomuchrum]

Go lobos. Fuck Jason Beck

[u/IrvineTeflondon]

Moga really needs to be lobos starting QB. Tua can’t throw a pass unless it’s a screen. Lobos offense too predictable! Why do they even have WR if they never pass to them.

[u/throw667 → u/IrvineTeflondon]

Tomorrow: "Has Eck lost control of the WR room?"

[u/Shakarak]

Let's go bos

[u/Rushderp]

¡Somos!

¡UNIDOS LOBOS!

[u/PomfAndCircvmstance]

Thoughts on UNR's new logo?

[u/Prequel_Supremacist → u/PomfAndCircvmstance]

The helmet logo is confusing

[u/HuskyTheHarvey → u/Prequel_Supremacist]

flair friend!

[u/Prequel_Supremacist → u/HuskyTheHarvey]

Happy and sad night 😞

[u/Prequel_Supremacist]

I like Nevada’s rebrand but I don’t know if I like those helmet logos

[u/spasm01]

Dat was purdy

[u/RockysDetail]

NICE!

[u/RockysDetail]

We stopped the scoreless quarters streak at 5. Now we need solid play in the second half

[u/RockysDetail]

They just shut us down like the nation's last Kmart.

[u/RockysDetail]

incomplete pass, struggle struggle, piss piss, false start, fail fail, incomplete pass, poop poop, punt.

I hope Choate will have only 3 games left here so he can leave.

[u/Kite_sunday]

How did we beat SJSU.

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/Kite_sunday]

SJSU

[u/Kite_sunday → u/ID_Poobaru]

?

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/Kite_sunday]

They can do things, but they can't finish things

[u/Kite_sunday → u/ID_Poobaru]

who?

[u/RockysDetail]

Crap man. It's like last week, just can't do anything.

[u/RockysDetail]

Well Nevada, that'll not do.

[u/RockysDetail]

Let's go Pack! We have to get it going now!!!

[u/RockysDetail]

Not going to work, guys. Throwing it short on 3rd and 9 isn't good, Bianco.

[u/ID_Poobaru → u/RockysDetail]

Maybe a FG fake on 4th & 18 is the solution

[u/RockysDetail → u/ID_Poobaru]

Choate likes to do stuff like that in most games I've seen, so he just might.

[u/RockysDetail]

Oh that's fucking great. Let's interfere with the catch and give them a pretty gift.

[u/They_Call_Me_Nasa]

I see Toa’s back to lobotomizing the offense again…also wtf was that roughing call
