7 out of 10, BSC and that other conference.

He put MSU's game against New Mexico as the #1 most likely upset.

Too much positive publicity in my mind!! Gives Gris fans and others material to crow about if Bobcats lose. I agree we can win but we sure have not had a very positive string of FBS games over the last 10-15 years compared to say Sac State's recent experience or NDSU or even Holy Cross! Granted, the MAC is like the absolute worst FBS conference but still an FBS win is an FBS win.

Lots of good press nonetheless.

Take a peek at the number of season tickets sold in unm and the price of tickets.
About 1m people within 1 hour drive of the game.
I'll be there cheering Bobcats!
Where are we seating? for sure not the cheep end zone tickets.

I’m sure the Lobos will have this posted in their locker room.
