Quote:The annual home-and-home rivalry series with New Mexico State had been scheduled with agreed-upon dates, but a scheduling conflict arose when the Aggies had to back out of playing in the Diamond Head Classic over the Christmas holiday that then forced them to have to shuffle other games while the Lobos had already signed game contracts filling other dates.

With the series not being played in pandemic-altered 2020-21 for the first time since World War II, both schools’ athletic directors say they’re confident the games will be played, but as of Thursday, no dates had been agreed upon.
