There was a nice article in todays Albuquerque Journal, 4/7/11,  (Trail by Fire Refines Farrell by Rick Wright) on a young player from Baton Rouge, La, Dillon Farrell,  a first team all state Louisanna football player. He was his class president. It spoke of his coming to New Mexico for a visit and how he loved Albuquerque and how everything here is amazing and how he had felt blessed to be out here….His coaches say he has a wonderful attitude. A sophomore center trained under Eric Cook last year, who is now a player for the Washington Redskins, taught him the ends and outs of playing center last year. His coach also says, “his understanding of the offense has been everything. He’s every bit as much a coach as I am, he really is.” Well, now to my point…..I know that the Lobo football team has many players with a wonderful attitude and a desire to win, on the field and in life and it is a shame that their football team has not won but two football games in the last two years. Farrell is but one of many good players on this years Lobos  . Folks, there are many winners on the Lobo football team, boys that played their hearts out last year and some the year before and some more good ones coming in. They practiced hard, played hard, gave their coaches all they had each and every practice and game. You know when you are losing that it becomes more and more difficult to go out the next week and start over again, but they did…and they have all learned a valuable lesson, one that will carry over to this year and we can tell every one of their opponents this coming year, you gonna have to beat them again….They feel, “You have beat the crap out of us two years running and we are pissed”…I truly believe that this team will come into this season with a chip on its shoulder, and by damn, they double dog dare you to knock it off again and it the other team wins again, they will have earned it…They have been down too long and that is gonna change… I can feel it…….GO LOBOS
