Long's Contract Extension A Vote Of ConfidenceA pat on the back that comes with a $311,000 raise is a huge vote of confidence. Lobos football coach Rocky Long admits that and also admits the money "is nice." But the Lobos coach in his 11th season at UNM also would like to see that vote of confidence extended into another area of Lobo football that is even more important to the success of his program. In the stands.

The Man Behind The Equipment: Rudy Garcia• Monday Practice ReportIn 1973, Garcia was doing laundry for the University of New Mexico football team and 36 years later he is still doing laundry as the team's devoted equipment manager. Garcia is one of the first Lobos to arrive every morning. He gets the Lobos' gear ready. The uniforms are neatly laid out from top to bottom, from helmets to socks.  8/16/2008
Defense Stellar at Fan Photo Day ScrimmageThe Lobo defense picked up right where it left off nine months ago at this afternoon's annual Fan Photo Day and intrasquad scrimmage. The event, originally scheduled for University Stadium, was moved to the Indoor Practice Facility after a steady rain fell in the middle of the afternoon. After posting a 23-0 shutout against high-scoring Nevada in last year's New Mexico Bowl, the 2008 defense showed its own teeth, allowing just one touchdown in 17 series while registering 8 sacks. The UNM offense was held to 296 yards in 77 plays.
