The Penn St. story is going to be in the news for a while….the long term effect on the school, on the football program, getting good recruits, getting a good coach….I heard some things this morning that I was not aware off…The football program brings in around 70 million a year. Joe Paterno was paid around a million a year. The football coach was ranked around 60th in the nation in pay for the football coach. New Mexico gets what, 7 to 10 million per year (and that may be high) but paid our football coach 750,000 per year. I don’t know what Alabama football brings in per year, but their coach is one of the highest paid coaches in the country. So Penn St has a ways to go to bring in a top coach but maybe they understand where they are in this matter already. But, I think they can afford to go lots higher on the football coach’s pay, don’t you?….Football picks for this coming weekend….Penn St vs Nebraska….Neb is favored by 3.5 points, but I really look for it to be worse as I think the team is in a state of shock and are not ready to play football…Neb by 14 points….Okla St beats Texas Tech….Air Force vs Wyoming….I am going for the upset again…Wyoming beats them by 3 points…Bama is pissed and Miss ST gets clobbered……Arizona beats Colorado…Arkansas over Tenn…..Georgia over Auburn…Louisiana Tech over Mississippi (I guess Nutt could apply at New Mexico), another upset special, Iowa over Mich St……Wisconsin Badgers beats up the Minnesota Gophers…..Well, some weeks I just get carried away as Kansas St beats Texas A & M…Texas beats Missouri…New Mexico wants to beat UNLV, but can’t, not this year anyway and New Mexico State loses to Fresno St (I read this morning that Fresno St has suspended three top players, so now I am thinking that NMSU may win this one). I hope that next year I can pick both the New Mexico school to win most weeks, that would be so refreshing…….Hey, New Mexico Lobo basketball team is playing New Orleans tonight….I believe the bb team is going to make New Mexico proud this year…I think they are a top twenty five team…I really do…They have a very strong bench so injuries and unavailable players won’t kill them this year, ie, like losing our point guard last year…..I’m ready for some basketball…..11/12 update…New Mexico really took it to New Orleans last night, like 92 – 49 and it could have been worse….Everyone played….Go Lobos
