In a normal year I’d be disappointed in going to the New Mexico Bowl. That’s because the team would’ve had a ragingly mediocre season. But this is year, it’s kind of whatever, cool an extra fan be maybe and some practices and a game that is a bit more meaningless than what appears to be a pretty meaningless season.

In order to get some UH fans to attend the game, Albuquerque was probably not a viable option. Assuming a MWC opponent - it could be someone like Air Force or Nevada or Colorado State…

I would rather have attended the game in Albuquerque.

Would you have brought Tonto along with you?

Too bad it wasn’t the Potato Bowl. So many pun opportunities.
What are we supposed to do with New Mexico? “I hope we clean up Opponent X like the Feds did at the Roswell crash site?” Just doesn’t fly.

Christmas Eve? I wonder how many will go with Xmas the next day? At least it’s not to far of a drive to be back home for Xmas day I guess

Like I said in an earlier post, our (AAC) minor bowls will be mostly tv events, which is okay in this ridiculous year. NM is dealing with a major outbreak, so I’m sure the solution was to move the venue, keep the name, so Albuquerque will get some split of tv revenue, and keep the bowl committee and volunteers for next year, rather than folding shop.
I am just very glad to have a bowl game, and the extra practice. And, we can spend more time recruiting that area. Especially Tyler !!!

I did not realize the University of New Mexico actually moved its program to Nevada in order to play football. Interesting article. I only post to share more info on why the game was moved. Let’s stay away from the political hot potato (oops, wrong bowl!) that could come from reading this:

New Mexico is pretty much completely shut down. So much so that UNM is playing its home games in UNLVs old stadium in Vegas.

New Mexico Bowl moved to the far reaches of east Albuquerque.
Seriously, the only good thing about this will be the extra practice.

Not sure what the bowl qualifications are but I’ll look at this as a positive. More practice time and one more game to play. UH definitely needs that!
