GCU - it’s a new rivalry, and a bit different than our rivalries with UNM and UTEP (where the disdain for each other is palpable). For me, it’s more a respectful rivalry as I respect what they are trying to accomplish. That said, I do love it when we beat them, and get a little extra frustrated when we don’t.

UTRGV - man I don’t like Levi. He’s good, no doubt, but as a fan I can’t stand him. They play hard as heck and we seem to always have good games.

Don’t know - this would have been Bako if they were still here, but their not, so......there really isn’t another team in the conference that I have stronger feelings about than another.

GO AGGIES!!!

I imagine SFA will become NMSU’s biggest competition for a bid to the playoffs and as such will soon show up on your rival list?

I think NMSU and SFA will develop into a strong WAC Rivalry. I don't consider GCU or anyone in the current WAC a rival because we have dominated them. Prior to this COVID season, NMSU was 14-2 vs GCU all-time.
