Editor,
My husband and I returned from the MWC basketball tournament.
We’re BYU alumni, and when we got tournament tickets from New Mexico, we figured we would be the only BYU fans in that section and
New Mexico fans would be rude and obnoxious.
We couldn’t have been more wrong on both counts. We sat behind a group of Lobo fans who drove together in an RV. Our son started a friendly conversation with one of them, and before long,
we made new friends.
New Mexico’s fans were loud and proud in contrast to SDSU’s “” e Show,” which was crude and rude. We made that wrong assumption because “ The Pit is so loud and crazy (and a venue at which we rarely win) that we thought it would be tough to be in a crowd with them.
Becoming friends with and watching New Mexico’s fans are some of our greatest tournament memories. Congrats to a great team with great fans!
