The New Mexico Lobos Open The 2021 Football Season Against Houston Baptist

From The Mountain West Wire:

The New Mexico Lobos kick off the 2021 season with a home date against the Houston Baptist Huskies.

The 2021 Lobo football season under second-year head coach Danny Gonzales will officially happen this Thursday, September 2, in Albuquerque.

The game will be held at University Stadium with what should be a great crowd, as these Lobos fans have been very patient, waiting to see their beloved Lobos play a home game.

When the Lobos kick off their home opener against Houston Baptist on September 2 at University Stadium, it will have been 642 days between Lobo Football and its fans between home games.

The New Mexico Lobos averaged 23.9 points and 393.7 yards per game last season under Offensive Coordinator Derek Warehime.

Warehime has got to be excited to see his offense this year as the Lobos is much deeper in-depth than last year’s team.

The Lobos have added much-needed depth at several positions at critical positions. When Gonzales was hired, there were just eight offensive linemen for Offensive Line coach Jason Lenzmeier to work with.

The Lobos currently have 16 offensive linemen on scholarship and 22 players total at that position.

“We have more guys; we have more talent,” UNM offensive coordinator Derek Warehime said. “We have more guys getting reps. That development is in order now.”

On top of that, the Lobos added Kentucky transfer Terry Wilson, a player who brings the Lobos a QB who is a dual-threat runner and passer; Wilson has a very strong arm to throw and also to tuck and run for big chunks of yards against opponents.

Abandoned Louisiana - The Pirate's Cove Water Park / Resort in Iowa

About ten minutes east of the city of Lake Charles are the remains of an abandoned water park . The decaying structures are clearly visible from the busy I-10 freeway and for years drivers have wondered about it's history and why it was left for dead. The Pirate's Cove Water Park actually has a rather interesting story behind it. A story that has been repeated over and over again, unfortunately, here in Louisiana. It's just another example of how government bureaucracy in this state killed an enterprise before it could ever get off the ground. Construction on the park began in 2008 and it was scheduled to open sometime in 2010. The sprawling complex was envisioned as an oasis from the hot summer heat that would feature luxurious amenities like a 900 foot long lazy river, a giant splash pad for the kids and eventually a five star hotel. The Pirate's Cove would have been an obvious tourist destination that could have brought much needed tax dollars and employment oppo...

Abandoned Louisiana - The Old Hightower Family Home in Dodson

I have to admit that I have been hanging on to these photos for a couple of months now just looking for the right minute to post them. Back in November I was traveling up to El Dorado, Arkansas and I passed through the small town of Dodson. While driving through town my eyes spotted a very attractive old house up on a hill and I just had to stop and take a few photos of it. I honestly don't know the history of this house, but I'm sure some local will send me message telling me all about it (and someone did see the UPDATE ), and it's not as cool as an abandoned railroad locomotive or old movie house but it really spoke to me. I have to wonder about the people who used to live in it and how it ended up in the state it is now. Anyone can see that it was a beautiful house long ago. What happened? How did such a grand residence end up like this? Those are questions that I can't answer unfortunately. Unfortunately a site like this isn't all that uncommon here in Louisian...
