First off, I wasn’t even aware there was a New Mexico Bowl until a few minutes ago.

Second, I believe the State of New Mexico got the bowl game as a package deal. (take Steve Alford, get a bowl game).

Third, I believe that bowl officials from the New Mexico Bowl have sent apologies to the University of Iowa for not selecting them to this years big game.

The Reno Gazette-Journal  reports that Nevada, one of the participants, had sold only 95 of its 6,000 allotted tickets at the beginning of the week.

95? Total?

Heck, some Iowa families bring 95 family members to bowl games.

Anyways, be a part of the few, the proud the people that actually see the 2007 New Mexico Bowl, coming to you live Saturday on ESPN.
