WHO: UNM Lobos 2009 Football, headed by new head coach Mike Locksley
WHAT: The Lobos are part of the Mountain West Conference (MWC) and are a NCAA Division 1 Football team. The MWC poll didn’t rank the Lobos very high for the 2009 season, so Coach Locksley has an opportunity to put on a big show with his team this year by beating those ranked above them. The rankings, which were released last week, are as follows:
1- TCU; 2- Brigham Young; 3- Utah; 4- Air Force; 5- UNLV; 6- Colorado State; 7-UNM; 8- San Diego State and 9-Wyoming.
WHEN: The UNM 2009 football program begins on September 5, at 5pm MST in College Station, TX with a game against Texas A&M.
