The Aggies continued to fare well under Woodson through the 1967 season. However at the end of that season Woodson, who had a contentious relationship with university administration throughout his career, was controversially fired after a 7-2-1 campaign that ended with a 54-7 shellacking of archrival New Mexico. Since his dismissal Aggie football has spiraled into an abyss of perennial mediocrity (at best) that some Aggie fans have begun to refer to as the "Woodson Curse." In the 40 seasons since Woodson's firing, NMSU has amassed just four winning seasons and a single conference title (1978), while failing to appear in a single bowl game. The Aggies' current 47-year bowl drought is the longest in Division I-A. The Aggies have once again failed to accrue enough victories to be bowl eligible and get their UCLA ticket for the 2007 postseason.
