LOL...How about the Crop Circles? Great combination of aliens and agriculture! Just think of the possibilities!

Hey! You may be onto something! MIB's, Roswellites, Cattle Mutilators.... eh, maybe not....

I guess the point that the NMSU AGGIES will remain the AGGIES has gotten lost in the shuffle in this thread. I got an email from an NMSU regent to verify the name AGGIES will not change. I have a feeling that some idiot at the albucrakie paper wanted to get people relied up and sell papers during the slow time. About the only time that trash of a paper covers NMSU is when it has something negative to say. It's strange that NMSU has such a confrontational relationship with the Las Cruces Sun-News when most of the news that comes out of it is positive while they seem to have a good working relationship with the albuturkey paper who didn't even cover much of spring practice, has written negative editorials about Hal Mumme.
