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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In a game that started on Saturday and ended on Sunday, the Lobos clinched bowl-eligibility last week with their win against Nevada. I’m not sure if there were more people in the stands or on the field when the game actually ended, but it was an exciting game, nonetheless. This week, the Lobos look to keep their hot streak going when they travel to Utah State in search of their fifth-straight game.

Last week, on their trip to Hawaii, the Lobos managed to pick up their third straight win, move to just a single win away from bowl eligibility, and, perhaps most encouragingly, win a game with their defense. They’re full of momentum right now and they’ll look to keep that going against the Nevada Wolf Pack, who after losing four of their last five, are just trying to get their season back on track.

After blasting UL-Monroe in their game last week, the Lobos head to Hawaii to take on the Rainbow Warriors. The Rainbow Warriors have seen a lot of improvement this year, particularly on the offensive end, which means that this game will likely be a total shootout. It should be a fun one to watch, so congrats to everyone who is actually in Hawaii, as they’re the only ones who will be able to see it.
