There is a new blog covering UNM sports - http://www.lobolane.com/. I don't know anything about this site but they have a very thorough post previewing the UNM soccer season.

If you take a video of a touchdown or defensive hit. Text us the video (505) 414-4313. Would be cool to see from around the state and we can add to the boards.

Read: What to Watch Friday

Note: Today, was supposed to be the first podcast (as requested like the Two-Minute Drive from previous years) of the season and we would have covered a lot plus more mentioned but after recording the system muted the microphone (on to next week with the first podcast).

Solid outing for WM in 34-6 win.

Plenty of intriguing QB matchups this season. And it starts in Week 1.

Story: https://nmpreps.rivals.com/news/top-10-quarterback-duels-in-2017

Its Thursday that means we draft.

With opening week let's draft tailgate or concession stand food.

What will you eat this weekend? Or what school has the best item?

Give us your college football upset pick for week 1

What do you have prediction wise those week?

Scores, upsets, top performers

As of today, 8-21-17, Hobbs High School has 2,725 students enrolled. I believe that is more than last year, but I might be mistaken.

As we get ready for this first week of high school football, college football is gearing up as well. I thought we could share where some of our recent NM grads are (that have had the opportunity to continue their career) and how they are doing. I will start with the following tweet breaking that the starting QB for the West Texas A&M Buffaloes has been named. I am super proud of my nephew and looking forward to watching him represent my alma mater as the QB!
