Well, I am withholding judgement at this point…The season is young…We have 16 inexperienced players on the field this year…If improvements are forthcoming we may still be ok…If not, we have some problems that must be addressed….Of course, that is a understatement, huh? 0 – 2, come on guys…..

This time of year is kind of sad for me….Yeah,  I know, for all Americans…Mom died September 10, 2001 and the wife and I were trying to fly back to Alabama….We ended up driving and making it just in time for the viewing….So I had a double event that further saddened me and my family .Please remember all those who lost family and freinds during this time….May God continue to Bless America and keep us out of harms way…

Well, who would have thunk it….Me agreeing with Mr. Navarrette…American citizens do not want to pick strawberries…He is absolutely correct…We don’t like hard work….strawberries, chilies, onions, apples, any work for field hands we do not like….We are so thankful for the Mexican citizens or anyone else who is willing to do those jobs….Only thing, they need to come through the door legally…have green cards…If we need to revamp the system to let more through, then lets do it…I worked with some Mexican green card holders at the potash mines in Carlsbad, NM years ago….they were hard workers, fun loving, easy going, friendly and God fearing…they are a special people…But they got to have a green card Mr. Navarrette….otherwise they are law breakers….I don’t want to pick strawberries either and will not as long as there is another way to put food on the table…Let’s keep plenty of workers in the USA legally so we don’t have to….

The Lobos will be playing the no. 11th ranked Oregon in Eugene, Sept 4. The Lobos are a 34 point underdog, they say….This is a hostile place to play according to many who have played there. Quoted by the Albuquerque Journal, Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said, “It’s a very hostile environment, I can tell you that.”….One of the reason I think the Oregon fans are hostile is that it is a 54,000 seat capacity stadium and they routinely stack about 58,544 in it for the games…No wonder they all are pissed, over 8% of the people are stacked two to a seat….I would be hostile also, they can’t sit down, so they stand up and take it out on the poor slobs down on the field that had nothing to do with ticket sales…Some things in our favor, Oregon plays Tennessee at Tennessee Sept 11, so two things…One, They are thinking about powerful Tennessee and not the lowly Lobos and two, they are not going to use everything in their play book as they don’t want Tennessee to know everything they do…Two or three basic plays should take care of the Lobos is what Oregon may be thinking…You know, they probably will win the game, but I sure hope we can keep it closer than 34 points…Lobos, pull out some Ducks tail feathers, ok?…Who gives a quack about how many feathers you pull is what I thinking…..Pull feathers and howl…..Go Lobos

Well sir, BYU did not follow the advice of TCU about going independent..which was, don’t do it…..Some of those Mormon’s are pretty hard headed and stubborn….that said, most of them are astute business men, so they probably have it all worked out…They were always a tough opponent and they kicked the Lobo’s butt a time or two…Probably just as well they are going….I hope this year the Lobos can give them a going away present, one that they will remember a long time….Make them glad they are leaving, ok Lobos?….Let’s do it….Go Lobos…They play us Nov 20 in Provo, Utah and they play Utah, Nov 27 at Salt Lake City….Get this, they will be looking past the lowly Lobos to the Utah Utes….We gonna whop’um….Mark my word……
