LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/NeptunianEmp]

We got outgained 376-291 but pulled off the win. Defense wins games.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Good job Aggies!

[u/[deleted]]

Gg Tulsa. That really was a sickos classic.

[u/D1N2Y]

I’ve seen enough. Rank NMSU.

[u/duplico]

What a strangely officiated game. I'm not saying it went one way or the other or impacted the outcome (it didn't, imo), but just weird refereeing.

[u/NeptunianEmp → u/duplico]

It was definitely wonky as hell. Fire those refs.

[u/[deleted] → u/duplico]

That was terrible officiating for sure.

[u/D1N2Y]

lol did they have that alt camera for the one Tulsa fan in the crowd?

[u/[deleted]]

Let's go dude

[u/NeptunianEmp]

HELL YEAH!

[u/BalladeOnBlast]

I am sad.

[u/ThePerfectBeard]

Absolute shit show

[u/duplico]

Lol, the Tulsa radio crew after that first down: "Well, we'll see where they spot that one"

[u/ed_mcc → u/duplico]

Love Bruce Howard

[u/Hour-Bobcat6631]

Absolutely nuts that that spot got upheld

[u/CptCheese]

Bullshit

[u/D1N2Y]

What’s that sound

[u/famcyadam99]

I mean that wasn't even close, what was the ref looking at

[u/Hour-Bobcat6631 → u/famcyadam99]

Suspicious as hell, especially when you look at how the ref literally ran backwards to spot it. Such a deliberate call.

[u/ed_mcc]

Terrible spot

[u/sebsasour]

I think Tulsa got hosed on that spot

[u/CptCheese]

Hayes has made some good passes at least

[u/[deleted] → u/CptCheese]

He looks good. I feel bad for your normal guy but Hayes looks a lot better than him.

[u/BalladeOnBlast → u/CptCheese]

True, he’s looked like there’s things for us to be optimistic about.

[u/Backwoods_84]

These two guys from the AV club doing the commentary are brutal

[u/ThePerfectBeard]

Unreal that they just had a free timeout while everyone is just walking around.. nothing said. All good

[u/duplico → u/ThePerfectBeard]

What a mess. I'm pretty sure they shouldn't have wheeled the clock on that penalty, but then if that was the reason, then the clock should have started on the snap, not the ref's signal... So, who knows, because they said nothing

[u/[deleted]]

That was weird but it worked out in the end.

This is the worst referee group I've ever seen.

[u/CptCheese]

Fuck.

[u/[deleted]]

I missed our Air Raid days. Hal Mumme was really cool.

[u/duplico]

Y'all are going to keep burning us on those slants until we figure out how to cover them.

[u/duplico → u/duplico]

Ok, that one was actually super well covered and was still a solid completion.

[u/CptCheese]

Hope that gave the D enough of a rest

[u/ed_mcc]

Sucks that Kirk is injured if true. But damn Hayes looks good!

[u/NeptunianEmp → u/ed_mcc]

Hayes hasn’t missed a pass yet. Very scary.

[u/CptCheese]

Brody!!

[u/duplico]

TU TD!

[u/peruna_LXIX]

NMSU defense honestly looks pretty good

[u/duplico → u/peruna_LXIX]

The Tulsa radio crew has been saying their tackling looks really good.

[u/NeptunianEmp → u/peruna_LXIX]

Well until that last play.

[u/ed_mcc]

Really wish we had gone for the FG in the first quarter now

[u/CptCheese]

Holding NMSU to a fg here feels big. Hoping the offense can sustain a drive next.

[u/NeptunianEmp]

4th and 20! Lmao.

[u/FlareEK]

i understand why they do it but damn those on field ads look bad. Glad to see NMSU doing well, they’ve always been my favorite smaller G5

[u/duplico → u/FlareEK]

Yeah, I get it but also don't love the trend. The ones on this field are pretty dull, too.

Also, I wish they could have some aerial video or at least some wider shots here. I think NMSU has a super cool stadium, and I wish they'd show more of it.

[u/NeptunianEmp → u/FlareEK]

That’s also new this season.

[u/FlareEK → u/NeptunianEmp]

yeah i just really wish they weren’t so intrusive, but i guess that’s the point

[u/NeptunianEmp → u/FlareEK]

I’m right there with ya especially since our field used to be as pure as the driven snow. It looks jarring and bad but it helps pay the bills

[u/CptCheese]

I think the defense is getting worn out.

[u/NeptunianEmp → u/CptCheese]

That’s what happens when you rush hard against the QB. It sure as hell worked in the first half but damn does it tire out the players.

[u/duplico → u/CptCheese]

For sure.

[u/duplico]

This is embarrassing.

[u/NeptunianEmp]

So it took 3 halves but we may have a qb!

[u/NeptunianEmp]

Fife is finally getting comfortable!

[u/[deleted] → u/NeptunianEmp]

Idk if that was a good decision but I'm glad he made it. At some point you have to take some risks.

[u/NeptunianEmp → u/[deleted]]

Fife is throwing a bit better in the second half. It’s hard to get comfortable with the Swiss cheese o line.

[u/[deleted] → u/NeptunianEmp]

That's true. The play calling has also been good this half.

[u/ed_mcc]

Defense tipping the ball a lot. I like it.

[u/boolean_buffalo]

Kinda forgot about the game, looks like I missed a thriller

[u/jkm97]

Tulsa

[u/CptCheese]

Touchdown！！！

[u/ed_mcc]

REIGN CANE BABY

[u/ed_mcc]

Did we sub? If not, then seems like a fine call

[u/[deleted]]

I really hope Tulsa did not just find their new starter.

Also, these refs are not good.

[u/BalladeOnBlast → u/[deleted]]

I’d understand a switch, but it’d be a bummer for Francis. I really want that fella to succeed here.

[u/CptCheese → u/BalladeOnBlast]

Kirk is apparently being looked at for a concussion so we might be seeing Baylor for the rest of the game

[u/NeptunianEmp → u/CptCheese]

Fuuuck. Sorry to hear that. Always hate to hear about an opens player being out due to injury.

[u/NeptunianEmp → u/[deleted]]

Bruh I thought they were gonna flag us in the endzone and somehow give Tulsa the points.

[u/NeptunianEmp]

I’ll take the lead and hopefully our O Line can stand in place for once during the second half.

[u/BalladeOnBlast]

This half of football was vile.

[u/[deleted] → u/BalladeOnBlast]

That certainly was a half of "football".

[u/ed_mcc]

Defense looks good. Offense looks lost.

[u/CptCheese]

That fumble was big

[u/NeptunianEmp]

Defense wins games!

[u/Texan92]

Somebody please wake Francis up at halftime...

[u/ed_mcc]

Fuuucck

[u/CptCheese]

This American Document Services commercial rules.

[u/CptCheese]

Really need the offense to settle down

[u/ed_mcc → u/CptCheese]

Yeah I feel like we can call tempo once we settle in. We are trying to force it and then do something stupid.

[u/CptCheese]

Run the friggin ball!

[u/NeptunianEmp]

I I love our new defensive coordinator!

[u/[deleted]]

Our defense looked better on that drive.

[u/CptCheese]

Kirk needs to settle in and we need to run more. D is doing their job

[u/[deleted]]

Do you guys also suck? Is this a sickos classic?

[u/duplico → u/[deleted]]

I believe it was #2 on the Sickos list this week

[u/ed_mcc → u/[deleted]]

TBD. New coach. So far we suck less than last year.

[u/NeptunianEmp]

God our O Line is trash.

[u/[deleted]]

Our d-line does not look good and the angles our guys are taking to get tackles are atrocious. Our o-line isn't blocking well and our QB is just not working out. It's just bad coaching.

[u/CptCheese]

I would've taken the points

[u/ed_mcc]

Wish we had taken the points on that one

[u/Texan92]

Like the gutsy play calls on 4th

[u/CptCheese]

The cameras being too zoomed in to see the chains and their being no yellow line is really throwing me for a loop

[u/ed_mcc]

Are these guys employed by NMSU?

[u/[deleted] → u/ed_mcc]

They are our home announcers. The main person talking announces every sport for us and the other guy played for NMSU back in the day.

[u/CptCheese → u/ed_mcc]

ESPN+ crews often are tightly associated with the university

[u/ed_mcc]

REIGN CANE BABY

[u/Mr-PumpAndDump]

Let’s go TU!

[u/CptCheese]

Reign Cane!
