Not sure what the LU Twitter / X uproar about officiating was - we got both close calls ( near fumble in end zone line / interception - tie ball goes to receiver ) field goal was clearly missed from 1 angle, block in back was legit. Least penalized game of the year. That why you don’t let Twitter decide coaching hires and pretty much anything of importance....
Agreed is was fairly officiated. For a stretch in the fourth quarter, it felt like a flag was thrown on every play for several in a row. So I won’t say it felt like the least penalized game. You are right about the calls you mentioned. Plus, LU had a couple clear violations go unflagged. I’d be more upset if I were an NMSU fan about the officiating.
But LU fans don’t get it. The fanbase as a whole doesn’t get Big Time college football. They don’t realize how hard it is to go undefeated. They act like everyone is out to get them, including officials. I had one texting me last night about how the announcers obviously wanted NMSU to win.
Sometimes I think based on our fans, we deserve the little pond. We ain’t ready - as a fanbase - for the Big Boy pond. If you have followed programs all your life like Oklahoma, Alabama, Virginia Tech, West Virginia, Texas….you know what I mean.
Thats why I’m hoping for an NY6 bowl, but I won’t e surprised if our fans embarrass themselves.
