If losing 61-13 wasn’t bad enough for New Mexico St. their bus was also robbed.
Brad Barber of the University of Florida police department says:
“Dozens of police cars were parked near the bus, so it seemingly took some gall to enter the bus where it was parked,”
After finding out about the robbery, New Mexico St. athletic director Mario Moccia expressed his displeasure with the situation,
Passport, laptop, house/car/work keys, but losing the paperwork is the worst!! Ps a lot of us can't drive home we have no keys #thestruggle

After an angry tweet Moccia clarified himself, saying:
“I was just trying to get the word out and say, ‘Hey everybody, this is what happened,'” Moccia said. “In no way, shape or form does this take away from the professionalism and professional courtesy that the University of Florida athletic department showed us or that the law enforcement of Gainesville [did].”
Brad Barber also said:
“The general information was that at some point during the football game, two individuals pulled this off. There is one witness who saw what happened. One of the individuals gained entry and was on the bus for a short time and exited the bus with some electronic equipment, laptops, headphones, a small amount of cash and a few items left on that bus.”
New Mexico St. defense let up 606 yards and had 61 points scored against them. And the bus being robbed just made the night worse for New Mexico St. I’m not really sure what the lesson to be learnt from this besides, don’t go to Gainesville.
