The Lobos got absolutely steamrolled last weekend at Fresno State, losing 38-0, so one has to think that they’re ready to get back on the field to forget about that beating. Unfortunately, their opponent, Colorado State, is another team that the Lobos haven’t had much success against in the recent past. It won’t be easy, but with the Lobos’ backs against the wall, I’m not going to count them out.

Lobo Football at Fresno State Preview
Wow, it feels like it’s been a long time since we’ve had a Lobo football game, doesn’t it? Well, that changes today, as they get back to action in Fresno. The Lobos are currently riding a two-game winning streak and are looking to stay on a run, but Fresno is on a little streak of their own. Should be a fun one.
Scattered Football Thoughts: Tulsa Pregame
After a tough loss at Boise last Thursday, the Lobos get back to action this morning with a road game against Tulsa. Both teams have had rough starts to the season, which has all of the sudden turned this game into must-win for both sides. And with the Lobos as banged up as they are, they’ll need to pull out all the stops to grab that much-needed victory.
Lobo Football vs. NMSU Preview
After shaking off the rust against ACU, the Lobos now turn their attention to their in-state rivals. The Aggies are in town tonight for the 108th matchup between these two schools and, regardless of the relative quality between these two teams, it’s always seems to be an entertaining game. The Lobos are hoping that a big crowd shows up to watch the action and to cheer them on as try beat the Aggies for a 71st time. Never gets old.
Lobo Football vs ACU Preview
Hey! It’s gameday for Lobo Football! In the first game at the newly-renamed Dreamstyle Stadium, the Lobos take on Abilene Christian University. The Lobos will be looking to build on their momentum from the past few seasons, while the Wildcats have their eyes on a big upset. Based on the last couple of opening games against FCS teams, there will probably be a lot of fireworks for the Lobos, so it should be a fun night to attend.
Football 2017: Preseason Scattered Thoughts
2016 was a wildly successful season for Lobo football. They went 9-4 on the year, including their first bowl win in ages, and led the nation in rushing with a ridiculous 350 yards per game. Most importantly, they went from being a truly downtrodden program to one that wins its division. If the past few season had been a movie, the credits would have rolled after a freeze frame of Bob Davie being carried off the field after his first bowl win and everyone would have gone home from the theater with a smile on their face.
Our Top Lobo Memories from 2016
2016 is finally, mercifully behind us. And while the year has been a rough one in a lot of ways, we still ended up with a lot of great memories from following the Lobos over the past 12 months. Without further ado, here are our favorite Lobo memories from the past year.
New Mexico Bowl Preview: UNM vs UTSA
It’s time to go bowling! After a long postseason drought, the Lobos are now making their second straight appearance in the New Mexico Bowl. Unlike last season, where they came into the game as underdogs, they’re the favorites this year. As such, there’s every expectation that the Lobos will pick up their first bowl win since 2007, and only their second since 1961.
Football Game 12 Preview: Wyoming
The Lobos saw their five-game winning streak snapped last week up at Colorado State, which also ended any chance that they had of making the conference championship game. However, thanks to a Boise State loss to Air Force yesterday, the Lobos can still claim a share of the division title tonight against Wyoming. With it being senior night and with a title on the line, it could be an emotional night at University Stadium.
Football Game 11 Preview: Colorado State
Five in a row, a 7-3 record overall, and still in the hunt for a division title. This season has been wild and frustrating and thrilling all at the same time and it almost feels like there’s not much more we can ask out of the Lobos. But here we are, with only two games left in the season, and I’m personally feeling greedy and want to see just how much success this team can have. They have some tough games coming up, this week at Colorado State and next week hosting Wyoming, but they’re both winnable. Let’s get this one first and make it six in a row.
