LET'S TALK FOOTBALL!

[u/Citruspilled]

This is my first game as a New Mexico fan is it always this easy

[u/Massive-Data-7074 → u/Citruspilled]

First game and already asking if its always easy, you gonna jinx it for the rest of us haha. I watched some of their games last season and trust me it was not pretty most weeks. Enjoy the good times while they last, in football things can turn around real fast

[u/Hectorc34 → u/Citruspilled]

No, this is the first time it’s this easy

[u/Shakarak]

Played second string and they immediately score

[u/Boring_Insect9289 → u/Shakarak]

I think they had 3rd and 4th string guys in there at the end. It’s cool watching everyone get to play

[u/boxman151515]

I hate being a fan of the two worst FBS teams in the state of Michigan

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

I just can't even focus on this game after the Michigan loss. Helps that the Lobos are dominating. Only 11.5 point favorites btw

[u/Jumpy-Breadfruit-499]

GEICO has given up on original commercials and are now rerunning their best hits

[u/Continental_0p → u/Jumpy-Breadfruit-499]

At least it's not the Progressive people.

[u/Strong_Barnacle_618]

I'm unreasonably confident that UNM would beat 0-1 Michigan by 20.

[u/unfunnysexface → u/Strong_Barnacle_618]

They were (with some dodgy officiating) giving em a hell of a fight last year.

[u/Hectorc34]

Bro that was wide open and clear for the TD!

[u/False_Scale_6146]

Who wins in a wrestling match Jason Eck or God?

[u/notthesinginjonas]

Guy delivers a hit stick, stops, gets kicked and injured and he’s the one ejected???

[u/cmucodemonkey → u/notthesinginjonas]

Standing over the WR was definitely a foul. The first person foul was BS though.

[u/Freedjet27]

Man we really suck huh, this is just embarrassing

[u/Hectorc34]

Adding injury to insult. Cmon bro

[u/Jumpy-Breadfruit-499]

What....what's his issue?

[u/ChangKai-Shrek]

Holy shit this CMU guy just injured his knee and got flagged and ejected after taunting an out of bounds hit.

[u/Fun_Assignment_269 → u/ChangKai-Shrek]

Funniest fucking sequence I've seen in awhile

[u/ChangKai-Shrek → u/Fun_Assignment_269]

It's rare to see instant karma manifest itself on live TV. Thanks to LSU for blowing out Clemson, I guess, for influencing me to switch to this game.

[u/savage011]

Are these Dr Pepper fansville commercials getting good? Or am I just getting old?

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/savage011]

Honestly I think they were always good

[u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Pretty great first half for the Lobos. I'm still recovering from WMU's win over Michigan

[u/InitialKoala → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

Apparently, they added 1 second back on the clock and Western Michigan won. Corrupt sport.

[u/Muffinnnnnnn → u/InitialKoala]

No, WMU won 12-7. Michigan is 0-1 and Western Michigan is 1-0.

[u/InitialKoala → u/Muffinnnnnnn]

I withdraw my comment.

[u/blazer026]

Just a guess but the offense has been on the field for maybe 5 of the 30 minutes

[u/Hectorc34]

That Lobo defense is solid!

[u/Strong_Barnacle_618 → u/Hectorc34]

That's putting it lightly

[u/cmucodemonkey]

I'm not sure how that was offsetting penalties. Clearly some jawing from both guys, but one ended up on the turf and the other didn't.

[u/TzuWu]

Best kicker we've had since Jason Sanders.

[u/Coteup]

Okay, it's time to start demanding it is a fanbase. Chapin needs to be fired yesterday. He calls plays like he's just shooting the shit, swapping out QBs blindly with no situational awareness, running on downs where it makes no sense to run. We won 7 games completely in spite of Chapin's playcalls.

[u/Jumpy-Breadfruit-499]

This o-line is makin me a little worried, getting flashbacks to what Tulsa just did to my other flair

[u/cmucodemonkey]

Well our punter is playing well. That's something I guess.

[u/UteFlyersCardJazz]

Let’s go UNM! I am all in for you to represent the G6.

[u/Jumpy-Breadfruit-499]

Iiiits GOOD

[u/Jumpy-Breadfruit-499]

Oh nevermind there's the replay

[u/Jumpy-Breadfruit-499]

I didn't see the holding there tbh

[u/macealace552]

Y'all need to double check what thread you're in lol. We're here to complain about CMU getting a beatdown not Michigan absolutely robbing W*stern

[u/boxman151515 → u/macealace552]

WMU got robbed but I will take joy out of their suffering

[u/CarbonCrew]

That was a screw job

[u/No-Breadfruit4471]

That finish was actually sickening. The fix is in type shit. 

[u/Coteup]

Well we look like shit so far but on the bright side, Western just had the most devastating choke in their history.

[u/Shakarak]

Will cmu get a first down?

[u/Financial_Fox_305]

Storming the field after you lost a game and then had the refs give you another chance.

Pathetic.

[u/macealace552]

I simply cannot remember the last time I've seen a competent CMU offense

[u/CrabbyKumquat]

Michigan students storming the field against WMU 😂

[u/Financial_Fox_305]

Bull fucking shit.

That play should have never happened. I feel horrible for Western Michigan, because they won that game.

[u/All4444Jesus]

Storming the field after the refs stole the game from western michigan

[u/himynameisdan123]

Bullshit

[u/youksdpr]

Who needs to cheat when the refs gifts you extra attempts

[u/Salpinctes]

WMU was robbed

[u/notthesinginjonas → u/Salpinctes]

I don’t think much sympathy will be given from the CMU crowd in here. Albeit it’s true.

[u/All4444Jesus]

Wow the refs saved fox big noon kickoff. What a save

[u/dls505]

Damn why can't we be playing Michigan this year...

[u/youksdpr]

The refs wanted to be a part of the outcome

[u/Federico190]

Holy fucking rigged

[u/RejectedSNick]

NO FYCKING WAY

[u/All4444Jesus]

Wow the refs came through

[u/PBurns20]

Do a kick 6 for the memes

[u/Jumpy-Breadfruit-499]

Push that tush

[u/trex360]

RANK WESTERN MICHIGAN YOU COWARDS

[u/Jumpy-Breadfruit-499 → u/trex360]

r/lostredditors

[u/trex360 → u/Jumpy-Breadfruit-499]

lol I’ll own up to it

[u/NKCougar]

"I say it's big" lol the announcers are having fun

[u/bigwhite2498]

I’m so confused why anyone thought Bryce would look better under Kyle he’s never developed any qb ever lmao

[u/IllAppearance1530]

Love the lone UNM fan in here with everyone else that’s typing in the wrong thread

[u/Gummynuts → u/IllAppearance1530]

Lol

[u/Jumpy-Breadfruit-499 → u/IllAppearance1530]

Everyone else is at the game it seems

[u/unfunnysexface → u/Jumpy-Breadfruit-499]

I'm here. let's close out this half

[u/Motor-Highlight-4861]

Walt bell had 2 wins as Umass hc btw

[u/Jumpy-Breadfruit-499]

A bit scared for the OU game but if last year @michgan was an indicator they're gonna put up a huge fight. Not that much of a ball knower to tell how good CMU is

[u/Jumpy-Breadfruit-499]

I could shed a tear

[u/VegasWinsDa26Cup]

Honestly, between the whole cheating thing with harbaugh and Michigan enabling Moore, they deserve to have a lost decade of being a 5-6 win team

[u/UGALOLOL]

Still cant get over seeing a competent UNM. Love it.

[u/riotide]

Underwood is booty cheeks

[u/BrentVenables]

Can’t fumble the $10.5M bag!!

[u/Jumpy-Breadfruit-499]

I'm liking this QB so far

[u/Jumpy-Breadfruit-499]

This guy knows his high schools

[u/NKCougar]

The MAC school coach's name is Drinkall? He was destined for it

[u/Jumpy-Breadfruit-499]

Nature valley bar o-line bur what a run

[u/hornedfrog86]

Go Lobos

[u/Jumpy-Breadfruit-499 → u/hornedfrog86]

One of my earliest memories was watching you demolish us 63-7 when I was like 5....good times

[u/hornedfrog86 → u/Jumpy-Breadfruit-499]

Well, this is a different team. Exciting to watch.

[u/VegasWinsDa26Cup]

Congrats on the win Western Michigan.

Also, yikers Michigan. Y'all will be lucky to get 4 wins this year

[u/Jumpy-Breadfruit-499]

What a sack

[u/IammYourDAD]

This is insane

[u/irockalltherocks]

Face mask!

[u/Relative_Walk_936]

Why the fuck am I not watching this game yet.

[u/Hectorc34]

Hell yeah! Looking forward to this season!

[u/Citruspilled]

Made a friend from Albuquerque this offseason and they've convinced me to root for UNM. Can an expert in the field tell me what exactly this entails

[u/Coteup]

Fire up Chips! Cautiously optimistic for the season, our schedule seems pretty favorable and Drinkall has given us many reasons for optimism. We did lose a lot of talent though, and this will be a difficult first challenge.

[u/chipper124]

Fire up!!!

[u/Relative_Walk_936]

Albuquerque sucks, Mt. Pleasant fucks.

[u/UGALOLOL]

S'go Lobos time for some real football

[u/Freedjet27]

Fire up! Super high on the team this year.

[u/zenverak]

Man remember when CMU used to have a random campus right on the outside of the perimeter of Atlanta? Wild times

[u/Evander_Berry_Wall]

Fire up!
