OK, it is my time of the year again…..The football schedules are out….New Mexico State is crazy. The Scheduler should be fired or promoted, depending on your point of view….They start with, OHIO and then, MINNESOTA, then four of the teams they normally play, then NEVADA, then GEORGIA, FRESNO ST, and BYU and two others conference games….They should have some good paydays, and the AD will be happy, but a terrible record, and the local folks will be sad. To the team I say, “Boys, I know that scheduler was thinking about the money he would bring in, but I hope you will play competitive football and maybe even win one for the old home town folks. Go on and do your best and we will pray for you…We can’t ask for more than that. Now, it could be that the scheduler thinks they are a pretty good ball club, huh? Well, maybe so. New Mexico has a pretty tough schedule also, We start with Colorado State, then ARKANSAS, then Texas Tech, then we play a couple of winners maybe, then Nevada, TCU, a few conference games, then our newest Mountain West member, Boise St. (We got to improve our record, 2 – 22 for the last two years. I was surprised they kept the coach for another year. I will pull for him to do good. He knows the consequences for another losing season.) Go Lobos….Wisconsin should be 4 – 0 through September, but they better watch or they could be 4 – 4 thru October….I think they will probably go at least 8 – 4 on the season….Alabama, well more of the same….winning them all unless the boys lay down on the job. Saban will not stand for that. 12 – 0, but they better watch LSU and Miss St….BYU….left the Mountain West and scheduled, Mississippi, Texas, Utah for the first three games. Let’s hope they are as tough as they think they are….I noticed they left New Mexico off the schedule this year, they probably skeered, you reckon? The other scheduler other than New Mexico States wild man, is Florida Atlantic…Who in the world would schedule, Florida, Mich St and Auburn for the first three games….Talk about crazy..Well, maybe he will prove me wrong…well, it could be a she…probably is a she now that I think about it some…..(jeez, I’m always asking for trouble..)



Have you ever thought about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all. Nevertheless think about if you added some great visuals or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this website could definitely be one of the best in its niche. Excellent blog!
New Mexico State has always seemed to tend to make tougher schedules than UNM, but they are doing more traveling outside their conference than usual now. I suppose that is the reason that State seems to be better known across the nation than the Loboes, at least, in football because, occassionally, they luck out an beat these biggies. Those engineers at State are a lot like those doctors at Vanderbilt. Sometimes they luck out and have a very good team; consequently, everyone who plays them must watch out every year.
Poor Loboes! I will be keeping up with them this year on the Albuquerque Journal website as well as Pete’s blogs. If I get the chance to see them on TV here in Arkansas, I may even root for them, although I probably won’t in the Razorback game. If that turns out to be one of the two Razorback games that is played in Little Rock this year, I may see them at the stadium. It will be an experience to see the Loboes again. I wonder if I will sit on the Lobo side. I may be qualified. After all, I have four years experience at being a Lobo follower (not really a rooter but at least I followed them for four years).
I pull for both the Aggies and the Lobos…hope they both win 6 or more games at least…
Roll Tide Roll!!!! Hang EM’ High – Pickens County High School!! Maybe a little Go War Eagles!
You are as bad as I am…Kind of depends on who is playing whom, huh….but always Bama and PCHS…
Seems like TCU is going to have got a truly strong football group this year, in particular with their convincing win more than Air Force.
