ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — It's almost Game Week in the Duke City, as the Lobos host Central Michigan on Saturday, September 5, and there is no better way to get your Game Week started than on Tuesday nights with Lobo Talk.
Once again, head coach Jason Eck will be live at Sandia Sports Bar with Robert Portnoy and plenty of guests for Lobo Talk, starting on Tuesday, September 1 at 7 pm. Last year, Lobo Talk was a jam-packed, fun time with full tables, plenty of food, fun, pictures and autographs, and a full hour of Lobo Football. Lobo Talk is also streamed via Facebook Live and archived on MW+.
Each week, Voice of the Lobos Robert Portnoy and coach Eck are joined by a guest player and coach as the head man answers fan questions and offers insight into the upcoming game and the previous week's contest.
The Sandia Sports Bar is back for a third straight year as the host site for Lobo Talk all season long. The Sandia Sports Bar is located upstairs at Sandia Resort & Casino. The Sandia Sports Bar adds a casual element of fun, great food, local craft beers, and inspired cocktails. Unwind indoors and outdoors, taking in the most amazing views of the Sandia Mountains while enjoying over 50 state-of-the-art televisions. Sandia’s menu features terrific sports bar favorites from wings to burgers, plus authentic New Mexican cuisine, and even surf and turf options. There is something for everyone at Sandia Sports Bar.
Lobo Talk goes from 7-8 pm on Tuesday nights of game week throughout the season.
The first three shows will air on 770 AM/96.3 FM KKOB before switching to its more familiar home, The Sports Animal KNML, 95.9 FM/610 AM. Fans can call with questions at 505-243-3333 and can listen online right here.
