My advice to Tarleton. Establish yourself first. UTA is great example of doing it the wrong way. We had a stretch of two championships in three years and one point away from a third in the College Division (today’s DII). Our facilities were crap. Football moved to the Texas Rangers Stadium, which was awkward for football, our basketball played on a stage and baseball had no true home. We had no real money increase and just hoped it would work out. In football, our butts were handed to us by the increased competition level and fam support tanked. Wins mean more than what level you play. In the end, that cost is our program. FBS may offer more money, but what good is it if you consistently hit Texas State level of success (3 wins a year average).

There was no Lie just a fact that Tarleton gave NMSU a beat down in football. Not sure what world you live in. You and others want to downplay it because your embarrassed. Still, kinda funny you do a google search and there it is the score and the game and highlights Try doing a google search on a scrimmage. Btw, arrogance is not a good look.

Take a look at ESPN's 2020 CFB standings. NMSU's record is 0-0. They had 2 scrimmages in 2021. And for the record, I don't see any NMSU fans making excuses for the TSU game. There are plenty to be made, but no one is making them other than to say the games were scrimmages, because they were. They have never counted in our record. Hang a banner. Brag all you want.

And if I was 97th most well known college in Texas, I'd keep my mouth shut.

Well, since I wouldn't want to bruise the fragile egos. I'll pose a question to you would the outcome been any different if it had been a game and not a scrimmage?

Yes, Tarleton is so unknown its amazing how we have already scheduled FOOTBALL GAMES with TCU, BAYLOR, TEXAS TECH, and TEXAS A&M. You might want to rethink that statement. I know its hard when your school is basically on a desert island to keep up.

Hey, but at least y'all have those Hatch chilis and great New Mexico mexican food.

Cmon brother, I drinks a lot of purple drank but our Texans are on these schedules because everyone of them needs an FCS money game and they don't expect us to be very good.

Don't disagree with that statement. But it was in reference to no one in the state knows we exist. That statement in itself is laughable.

I think over time the football will be solid once we clear transition and the overall stadium revamp job is going to attract a lot of solid players. So far everything about the stadium has been first class.

I have said over and over that TSU need to hang around the WAC until our programs and a large part of facility upgrades have been made. 5-7 Years should accomplish this plus not strain the Athletic department with unnecessary travel expenses.

I agree and it didn't help early on that Texas A&M wouldn't lift a finger to help y'all. Hence, UT Arlington today. Those were tough times to try to advance your school on a shoe string budget that eventually killed football. I had friends that were on the last football team there. My uncle was the GM at Bill McDavid Auto Dealerships in Arlington during those days and the Dealership was a big supporter of UT Arlington Football.

Tarleton needs to get a large portion of its athletic facilities upgraded before they look to make the next move. The mothership along with the Tarleton fever on campus the sky is the limit is what is driving this euphoria. The school is growing too fast and construction is toooooo slow to keep up. Kids I know had to stay at the Holiday Inn because there dorms were not ready for at least six weeks into the semester. This happened in just the last few years. The school still needs more dorms.

A ridiculous thought. I bet a lot of people in Texas and of course WAC fans know where Tarleton is, or could at least come close to its location. Casual sports fans in Minnesota and Florida don’t know where Tarleton State is. All those schools you mentioned, just know you’re a minnow and could care less about your school. That’s not an insult to Tarleton, that’s just how it is.

In answer to Blue Dragons question on the scrimmage issue. Again no one from NMSU was happy with the performance. No one made excuses for losing to Tarleton. But the reason we didn’t put a huge emphasis on it is because we understood the factors going into that game. We had our entire previous season cancelled due to covid and not being in a FBS conference when all other conferences opted for conference-only schedules. As a result of this we had a huge exodus of players leave. Because if you’re a college athlete would you stay somewhere that you know your team isn’t going to play at all or use the special covid transfer rule and go to a place that’s actually going to play games? On top of all this due to our states strict covid rules we weren’t allowed to practice, hold team meetings, nothing. That’s why the spring games were in El Paso. So we hadn’t played or practiced in over a year. Starting over with a ton of new players that had barely met each other a few weeks before the game, some not getting to campus until the week before. We played those two spring games because we desperately needed practice and to throw a bone to players, staff and fans that were wanting some games.

There’s no way to know if things would have been different during the regular season. But I believe the next week we beat a team that beat Tarleton. And this season even though we didn’t ever have the depth to finish out games we hung with the majority of some good MWC teams. So I do think had we played after having a semi-normal off season things might have been different. But who knows. But this is an explanation why we as NMSU fans think it’s ridiculous that Tarleton fans still point to this win as if it meant anything.

I have lived in NM most of my life. But I did live in Dallas for a few years and have traveled extensively throughout Texas.

I had to look them up to even know they were in Texas. Not being FBS or D1 really keeps you off the radar nationally.

Also, how is this talk from a game, played a year ago still being discussed? Y'all started this yesterday. I thought you two were better than this.

NGL I had heard of Tarleton before literally all of the WAC schools but I also had like 7 cousins go there. If not for that I would not be nearly as familiar with the school as I am though.

Explains alot.

Though Ft. Worth and Dallas are exactly 33.3 miles apart geographically, they can often can be worlds apart culturally. Tarleton is better known and (proudly) affiliated with all things Fort Worth.

Always living up to your Illiterate name. If I lived in Dallas, I certainly know about Ft. Worth and where it is located.

To be super specific, I lived in Irving, smack dab in the middle of Dallas and Ft. Worth. I can promise you Tarleton is not affiliated with, spoken about or "better" known in Ft. Worth. If TSU is #97 in all of Texas, it's #53 in the greater Dallas/Ft. Worth area.

Your classmates brought up the game and made up lies about what NMSU posters were saying about the game. You are the second TSU poster to say that NMSU fans brought up the game and "started" this.

Yes, Tarleton is so unknown its amazing how we have already scheduled FOOTBALL GAMES with TCU, BAYLOR, TEXAS TECH, and TEXAS A&M. You might want to rethink that statement. I know its hard when your school is basically on a desert island to keep up.

Hey, but at least y'all have those Hatch chilis and great New Mexico mexican food.

A ridiculous thought. I bet a lot of people in Texas and of course WAC fans know where Tarleton is, or could at least come close to its location. Casual sports fans in Minnesota and Florida don’t know where Tarleton State is. All those schools you mentioned, just know you’re a minnow and could care less about your school. That’s not an insult to Tarleton, that’s just how it is.

True statement but we are not 97th either. I'm sure the same fans have no clue Seattle U exists as well. Having no football really keeps you off the radar nationally.

I have lived in NM most of my life. But I did live in Dallas for a few years and have traveled extensively throughout Texas. In fact, I will be in Amarillo this weekend, El Paso in a few weeks and Dallas in about a month. I had never heard of Tarleton State until they joined the WAC. I had to look them up to even know they were in Texas. Not being FBS or D1 really keeps you off the radar nationally.

Explains alot.

Though Ft. Worth and Dallas are exactly 33.3 miles apart geographically, they can often can be worlds apart culturally. Tarleton is better known and (proudly) affiliated with all things Fort Worth.

Do people outside of Stephenville associate Tarleton/Stephenville with Ft. Worth? I don't think so. I know none of my Ft. Worth fam does. I have never heard them talk about Tarleton.

Always living up to your Illiterate name. If I lived in Dallas, I certainly know about Ft. Worth and where it is located.

To be super specific, I lived in Irving, smack dab in the middle of Dallas and Ft. Worth. I can promise you Tarleton is not affiliated with, spoken about or "better" known in Ft. Worth.

Coming from someone who has "lived in NM most of my life" lol. Get a clue.

Born and raised smack dab in the middle of Funkytown, bud. Yes, they do.

You and others want to downplay it because your embarrassed. Still, kinda funny you do a google search and there it is the score and the game and highlights Try doing a google search on a scrimmage. Btw, arrogance is not a good look.

Take a look at ESPN's 2020 CFB standings. NMSU's record is 0-0. They had 2 scrimmages in 2021. And for the record, I don't see any NMSU fans making excuses for the TSU game. There are plenty to be made, but no one is making them other than to say the games were scrimmages, because they were. They have never counted in our record. Hang a banner. Brag all you want.

And if I was 97th most well known college in Texas, I'd keep my mouth shut.

Well, since I wouldn't want to bruise the fragile egos. I'll pose a question to you would the outcome been any different if it had been a game and not a scrimmage?

Whether or not, people know Seattle U exists, if you mentioned them, you would know they’re located in Seattle. Tarleton could be from anywhere.

Refresh my memory. I don't recall saying NMSU fans brought this up.

You Tarleton guys are delusional. Just like the UTA guys that think starting football will be some grand success. Look at all the teams in the “DFW area”

Dallas Cowboys
Dallas Mavericks
Dallas Stars
Texas Rangers
FC Dallas
SMU
TCU
North Texas

Not to mention other college teams which have significant alumni/fans there: Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Baylor, Texas A&M, and Arkansas.

You’re trying to compete for eyeballs with all of this, aside from rodeos and other entertainment options. At best, you might get the same following as UNT. Tarleton will never get headlines in Dallas or Ft Worth. Trying to claim this area is lunacy.
