Fantastic stuff Blue! It always makes me happy and very proud to hear stories about how kind and appreciative the team is about fans who make it to the road games. Getting high fives from the team after the game last year at Ft Collins really blew me away...! Makes me so proud to have guys like that representing our school.

Epic. Great write-up.
However, your compulsion to mount other team's mascots is troubling. Perhaps that's where Zuma came from. By mounting the Zoob mascot, you created a cougar/Aztec progeny known as Zuma.
I'm bummed I couldn't make the trip. For all its failings, it's really difficult to find a bad meal in New Mexico. The food there is amazing.
And it's great that the team appreciates its fans so much. I couldn't see such a reception happening on the road with, say, Duke, Carolina, Kentucky, etc.
Fisher & Co. seem to realize where they came from, as well as the days of games where it was just me and 423 of my best friends in attendance (Trust me, I counted. I keep reading and hearing national stories about how only 2,000 fans would show up for a game. That was only on a good night.)

Oh and I saw you had many tickets for the UNLV game. Is there any plan for a meetup or anything that game? I'll be out in Vegas and going to the game too.

Superb!
blueaztec: hey, I came up with a special Aztec Road Warrior yell back when Kirk Morrison won the game at Larryme. Kirk intercepted a Cowboy pass at the 34 yard line and returned it for the game winning touchdown. No. 34's touchdown may not have been the last touchdown, except, Coach Craft RAN THE CLOCK out with 12:30 left in the 4th quarter. The Aztecs took a knee at the 1/2 inch line...oh, the special yell.
I was doing silent screams. You yell, "Aztecs" with all facial and body contorted as if you were really yelling as loud as you can, with hands cuffing the mouth, except you yell in silence!! It really makes the home team fans curious, I have found out. They stretch to see why it is they can't hear such a loud mouthed, Aztec Road Warrior...some even ask.

On DJ's half court heave, out of reflex, I threw up both of my hands and yelled out, only to have the 8 people surrounding me shoot daggers at me with their eyes (two of them were my parents).
The most demonstrative act for the rest of the game was whistling the fight song.
I think we all forgot about the 2nd half, under 12 min media time out, the 'go' 'fight' 'win' 'lobos' chant was just about the most pathetically cute thing I have seen in a while.
Special note to fellow 505ers and Lobo fans...getting in my face and telling me to "go back to San Diego!" is not as much as put down as one might think. Also, what the hell was wrong with the Abq airport? The whole thing smelled like a used retainer. At least they still have Santa Fe brewing pale ale on tap.

I blew out my brother's ear with my whistling, which started with the shot by DammitJ Gay.
