New Mexico fans LOVE Larry Nance Jr.

I don't know if you guys have twitter or follow LNJ but, but he is often being tweeted at by NM fans and those guys absolutely love Larry Nance.
Nance tweeted something like "I hate the way pain meds make you feel"
Then some NM fan replied to him "The pain sucks now but how good will the standing ovation feel from the PIT next year #quickrecovery "
They hated to see Larry go down, and it seems like NM fans are always cheering for us.

Larry and Kirk are buds and all the NM fans on twitter have a lot of respect for Larry.
The NM players have respect for Larry (not like CSU tools or AJ West "not knowing who he is")


I think the fact that a team and fanbase like NM has so much respect for Wyo is awesome.

They are really very hospitable. New Mexico fans remind me a lot of Wyoming fans. Sure there are a few idiots here and there, but by and large they are very friendly and welcoming. If you ever get a chance to go to The Pit or their football stadium for a game, do it. You'll be happy you did.
 
i've been to the football stadium 3x 1 reg season and 2 bowl games, and really had fun with them there, esp the 1st bowl game win, and fell in love with El Pinto the food they had and everytime in ABQ I go to that restaurant cuz of it, i buy their salsa at Albertson's every chance i get!!! I'm rooting for UNM to take it all in the rest of the tourney

(is it me or does it feel like Hugh Greenwood(peter pan) has been there like forever and we got one more year to watch him...ugh)

They like the fact Larry tweeted that Cam Bairstow should have won POY over Thames.

I'm sure they like that, but that is by no means the start of the love-affair.
 
New Mexico and Wyoming have about always gotten along (with an exception here or there), and usually have eachother's backs in many things.

Just something I've noticed.

Agreed. Talked to many UNM diehards yesterday mentioning how they had a "soft spot" for Wyoming
 
I remember in 1991 when we hosted the WAC tourney at the AA, sitting next to a bunch of UNM fans I still remember how cordial and nice they were!!! They'll be nice to us now, just wait til we're competing with them for conference championships in the upcoming future!!! LOL

Wife and I already decided that if we play at the PIT next year we will make the trip down :thumb:

As I tweeted ((yes I finally gave in and got a Twittah account) and he favorited it) there are a few to many Lobo fans who keep trying to get Larry to transfer
