On the first of March, the NMSU Aggies traveled to Austin to take on the Texas Longhorns on McCombs Field. The Aggies came up short, but managed to finish the game through the top of the 7th.

Fast forward to June 6, 2025. The same Longhorns team is playing for the National Championship against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The team in orange even started the same pitcher. The result was the same. Longhorns win; only this time, they won it all.

At the ultimate end of the season, it can be stated clearly that the New Mexico State University Aggies did not reach the goals or expectations felt by many at the beginning of the season; however, they did compete with the best.
Typically, fans and supporters lose interest in how well the “other teams” do, and this is a recipe for continued struggles in building a championship team. Included, below, is how the Longhorns are celebrating their National Championship. It should stand as a reminder that this could be the Aggies.
The road to that end begins with this acknowledgement. NMSU is capable of winning a National Championship… but until they do…
Congratulations, Longhorns!
