The New Mexico Lobos and New Mexico State Aggies will meet for 106th time on Saturday.
The Rio Grande Rivalry to the players for New Mexico and New Mexico State is more than a game. It's a match up of contrasting schools. New Mexico Stateis a school that witnessed New Mexico's conference pilfer the top teams from their conference leaving them without a home or an invite.
During the last set of conference realignment the Mountain West Conference took the Western Athletic Confrence's top teams forcing the conference to scrap football and left the Aggies to go independent before finding a temporary home in the Sun Belt, their fate will be decided in 2017 but the move cost the Aggies money as the WAC Non-BCS power Boise State was a money Maker for the WAC.
