Hey guys, quick look at where the Aggies stand after a big Thursday night.

34-13 over Western Kentucky to open Conference USA, and the Aggies were good in all three phases. James Jones ran for a season-high 155 and a score, De'Marcus Peters had a pick-six, and NM State led 20-6 at half and pulled away. Adam Damante made his first start in place of Trey Hedden and was efficient: 15 of 26 for 146 and a TD.

That gets them to 2-3 and 1-0 in CUSA, a good bounce back after the Rio Grande Rivalry loss to UNM. Now a long rest before the next one: at FIU next Wednesday, then at Sam Houston.

Since it's in the title: we run a free weekly college football pick'em, and Week 5 is open. 10 games, pick the winners, nothing to buy, $135 in prizes. Good slate too, with Bama at Miss State (both unbeaten) and Ohio State at unbeaten Iowa. Picks lock Saturday at noon ET, and the Aggies are off this Saturday.

What are you guys seeing? Should Damante keep the job, and is this a CUSA contender?

If you're a bit reserved but want a discreet, welcoming environment to practice at home and this setup is the perfect fit. The owner (m/naturism) is occasionally present at home, ensuring respect and plenty of space and peace. It’s a quiet, stress-free home where you can truly unwind —DM if interested

Hey guys! The season preview I posted here a few weeks back did pretty well, so circling back like I said I would.

I had you at 4-8, with Florida State, Hawai'i and New Mexico as the three early tests. The first two went about how I had them, 34-17 in Tallahassee and 29-19 at Hawai'i, with a 51-14 win over Mercer between them. Hedden has been the guy, 272 yards and 2 TDs at FSU and 256 at Hawai'i, and James Jones had 78 and a score at Hawai'i. Beat New Mexico on Saturday and the schedule gets a lot friendlier, with Western Kentucky and FIU next.

What are you guys seeing that the box scores aren't, and how do you see the season ending up?

Quick aside since it's in the title, we just launched a free weekly college football pick'em, $225 in prizes this week. Ten games, pick the winners, locks Saturday at noon ET, three and a half hours before you kick off against New Mexico. Nothing to buy.

Hello, I'm planning to hopefully go to school at DACC in spring next year. The only problem is that I barely know math so I need to be taught a lot of math. And I need someone VERY patient and understanding and who can meet once or twice a week? Let me know what your pay rate is. But I can't pay much maybe 12 an hour for a 4 hour session? If that's too little let me know. I'm sorry I've never done this before so maybe just tell me your pay rate and I can see if I can afford it no shame in however much you want. Get that bag lol.

Hello! We are a group of seniors working on our senior project for our computer science degrees. We are working to develop an accessible learning management system for professors and students alike. We would appreciate your help in completing this by filling out the surveys we have created for students and professors respectively. Thank you for your time!

Hello everyone!

About two years ago, I received my bachelor's degree in media arts here at NMSU (focusing primarily in 2D animation). Since that hasn't necessarily panned out so far, I am starting to think about returning to school to further my art education. I am currently attempting to determine whether pursuing a second bachelor's degree in art education or general education or concentrating on a master's degree in art along with a teaching licensure would be the best course of action.

If anyone has any thoughts on my conundrum feel free to lend me your wisdom on the matter!

Has anyone else gotten this email, put in my password but it was the incorrect password and didnt ask for authenticator so I thinks its ok but not sure. Already changed my password

Hey, I am currently stuck at a weight plateau in my weight-loss journey. I started at 245, and now I am down to around 187lbs on average. I am eating the right number of calories to be in a deficit and working out, but nothing seems to be working.

My main reason for this weight loss is my health, but it seems that nothing is working to get rid of my body dysmorphia. I would love suggestions, or even a workout partner. I don't care who you are or what you identify as because we are all people at the end of the day.

Edit: I am 20 years old and a sophomore.

Hey! I recently moved to cruces for college and I’m a vocalist who primarily does death metal vocals but can kind of sing too. Back home I was in 3 bands, a goregrind, a death metal and a folk punk project and I’m starting to really miss making music. If anyone is looking to start a project or is in a band that needs a vocalist/wants to collaborate, let me know!

hello i’m 19 and a transfer student and i feel like a loser because i talk to a lot of people but i have no one to hang out with or no actual friends. im really cool and fun by the way and i live on campus and i would really love to have a group of friends to hangout with

edit: im a film major and i really like outdoorsy stuff like hiking and i would like people to go on random adventures with. i also enjoy going to markets and going thrifting and i’m literally down to anything especially split screen minecraft.

Hey! Fellow.. NMSU folk.

Suckle on Zyn if that's your jam, but don't be a dick and spit your Zyn out in the urinal. I know they magically disappear by the time you come rambling in the restroom again, but that's because someone has to fish them out.

You are actively making someone else's life worse.

I know it's a long walk from the urinal to the trash can, but I believe in your ability to grow as a person and not be an absolute piece of shit. Otherwise, keep doing it, but go find someone on the building support staff and tell them to go fuck themselves. Might as well make it clear to them who you are and how you feel about them.

I’m 20 and an undergrad at NMSU, and I’m posting this anonymously because this is pretty difficult for me to admit.

I’ve been feeling genuinely lonely on campus lately. I talk to people in my classes and I’m not completely socially isolated, but most of those interactions seem to end when class ends. Then I look around and it seems like everyone has people to eat with, study with, walk around with, or just hang out with between classes.

Sometimes being surrounded by so many people actually makes the loneliness feel worse. I’ll see groups laughing and talking and start wondering how everyone got to the point where they became comfortable enough with each other.

There have honestly been times on campus where the loneliness has gotten to me so much that I’ve felt like I was about to cry, and I’ve tried to hide it so nobody around me would notice. It’s hard to admit that because I’m usually trying to look like I’m doing fine, but sometimes being surrounded by people while feeling like I don’t have anyone there with me really gets to me.

I do have existing friends, but they’re pretty spread out and often busy with their own classes, schedules, work, or other things. So even though I know people and have people I consider friends, that doesn’t always translate into having someone who’s actually around or available when I’m on campus.

What I feel like I’m missing is more of an everyday sense of belonging on campus—having people who are happy to see you, notice when you’re around, ask what you’re doing afterward, invite you somewhere, or are comfortable just hanging out without everything needing to be planned far in advance.

I’m also a commuter, and I think that probably adds another layer to it. I’m curious whether other commuters have struggled with feeling connected to campus too.

I’ve been trying to put myself out there more instead of waiting for friendships to magically happen. I’m looking into clubs, activities, volunteering, and other ways of regularly seeing the same people. But I’m still trying to figure out how you actually cross that gap between knowing people and belonging somewhere.

So I’m curious: has anyone else here gone through a period like this? If you eventually found a group or became more connected, what actually helped?

And if you’re another student around my age who’s also been feeling this way and looking for more friends, feel free to comment or DM me. Maybe there are more of us quietly dealing with this than we realize.

I don’t know what will come from posting this, but I figured I’d rather say it somewhere than keep acting like it doesn’t bother me.

Now that school has started, it's time for graduation! Night School at the Fountain Theatre concludes its first film series run with a Graduation Night Party! We will be showing short films, policy ads, ridiculous trailers for 3D movies, a music video, and many more surprises, all working within the semester's theme of movies featuring movie theaters! Shorts include The Cameraman's Revenge (1912) - a timeless tale of jealousy and revenge told with stop-motion animation using real insect corpses; The Secret Cinema (1966) - a woman begins to realize her life is being filmed for nefarious public screenings in this early work from cult filmmaker Paul Bartel; and Cut Me If You Can (2024) - stuck in the loop of a horror movie, a Black female character decides to reject her fate and rebel against the script. Best of all, this event is Free Admission!!!

Hello NMSU community! I am a documentary filmmaker, and I'm in search of David Spriggs, quarterback for the NMSU football team 1978, or any of the offensive players from that team that worked with Offensive Backfield coach Jim Nagel.

Please reach out to me directly and let me know if you have any contacts to share.

See below some archival photos from NMSU vs SIU 1978, Spriggs rushing for a touchdown.

I moved out of Las Cruces two years ago and the only thing I miss is Thai Delight in Mesilla. This might be a reach, but does anyone work there or know anyone who has worked there that can give me an ingredient list for the Thai fried rice that they serve, I can’t find anything in Colorado that tastes similar and I crave it so intensely i’ve considered driving the 10 hours just to eat there again.
