Minnesota Golden Gophers vs. New Mexico Dolphins?

Did the Dolphin eat the Lobo??

Just tuned in. Anyone know the story behind the NM unis?

According to one article it says: "They will try to do so in a slick turquoise jersey paired with white pants, a nod to New Mexico's Native heritage and a symbol of the program's rise under first-year coach Jason Eck."

According to AI Summary: "The New Mexico Lobos' uniform for the Rate Bowl features a special design. They unveiled a "United in Turquoise" jersey, which is a replica of the uniforms worn by the team from 1973 to 1979. This design aims to honor the team's history while showcasing their commitment to a modern aesthetic. The new uniforms are part of their effort to create a memorable visual identity for the game against Minnesota.

Just looks like a Miami Dolphins ripoff like mentioned above.

73-79 throwbacks

Turquoise for obvious cultural reasons. Last seen in 1979…though announced in August…

Pillow fight game. It's difficult to watch these cute little bowl games after paying in the CFP. Sorry not sorry. Varsity will always be better than JV games.

I guess it makes sense; turquoise is one of like 2 or 3 things most non-New Mexicans associate with New Mexico.

Minnesota uniforms are ugly.

And drugs. That's the list. Turquoise, hatch chiles, and drugs.

Our offense would be right in the mix of this endeavor

I was stationed in Alamogordo from 74-76. I remember these uniforms. I also remember the sportscaster in Albuquerque (years before cable) lamenting every week, "for the Xth week in a row, the Lobos are not ranked"

I want to retire to New Mexico (or Southern Colorado). I've made a circle on this map!

In the interest of transparency, let's create the Federal Reserve Interest Rate Bowl - but instead of a game the Fed would track the latest bids for the "student athletes" in the portal.

Watching Longmire and finding out Las Vegas, NM was the main filming location got me interested in visiting that area.

It's a beautiful area. Las Vegas is charming, if a little run-down. There aren't many non-Hispanics in town. My son learned to ski at Sipapu in NM. We stayed in Las Vegas for that trip. I've also stayed in their town square.

Regardless are still going to be playing in these "JV games" most years with a 12-team playoff. The stars aligned with the schedule this year and some other teams outside of the SEC being down.
