You might have benefited. <br /><br />The team has won two regular season games against average to poor competition and you say they ARE a Top 25 team. Until they prove themselves by beating the teams directly in front of them, then all that talk is just hot air.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-12676016156314885372010-11-16T17:00:56.457-07:002010-11-16T17:00:56.457-07:00Canada's education ministry does a far better ...Canada's education ministry does a far better job than our country's equivalent. That's why some of you Aggies don't quite get what Hernst is quick to point out. Menzies squad IS a Top 25 team already! A mid-major doesn't want to actually be listed in the Top 25 this time of year. It's far better to fly under the national radar for as long as possible. Last year one guy, Darrington Hopson, gave the LowBlows national ranking. Hernst knows his team's capabilities better than anybody. Jimmy figures at least the next three opponents will not be fully prepared for the Aggies. After that, this team is capable of sweeping the I-10/I-25 neighbors. Let's hope Menzies keeps going deep into the bench throughout the next three road games. Otherwise he'll enter the UTEP and UNM series with tired, jet-lagged legs. Note to Marvin: fill the Pan Am with wins over the Rio Grande rivals. Look at the seasons the Aggies did that and compare attendance. Top 25?

Win the next 10 games, then yes, the team has walked the walk, so the talk can follow. Beating two teams that don't rank in the top 100 all college teams doesn't mean a whole lot. <br /><br />Talk about rankings now is just a distraction that is will get the Aggies beat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-21657435837224546942010-11-16T13:31:27.255-07:002010-11-16T13:31:27.255-07:00This next stretch of games will show how much we m...This next stretch of games will show how much we might be missing Wendell Mckines. If Tyrone Watson, Bandja Sy, and Chili Nephawe can play well, we might just be a top 25 team.

Things that Vegas oddsmakers won't factor in are Gillenwater's return to his home, and programs moving in opposite directions since most recent games vs USC. Tim Floyd is back on Glory Road, which the guy deserves after what USC/NCAA put him through. But the fact remains that NMSU is definitely closer to the PAC-10 level now, and clearly much stronger top to bottom than when they rolled over for UCLA early last season. Those folks voting for 3-and-0 on the trip are not too far off the deep end. I'd be real happy with 1-and-2.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319260418553490797.post-7139990957183543632010-11-16T11:22:13.944-07:002010-11-16T11:22:13.944-07:00So Groves what’s you’re opinion about the line up?...So Groves what’s you’re opinion about the line up? I would like to see Sy start a couple of games. I think Watson would be a great guy off the bench and provide that spark. They both have their flaws. Sy is not very good at defending and Watson can not hit a free throw. Maybe the more important question is who is going to be in the game in the final minutes of a close game?Crazytownnoreply@blogger.com
