New Mexico Ends Ten Game Losing Streak With 56 - 10 Blowout Against Tennessee Tech


 From the Albuquerque Journal

A week after Texas A&M crushed New Mexico by 42 points, the Lobos pulled off a complete drubbing of their own. UNM crushed Tennessee Tech 56-10 to snap a 10-game losing streak dating back to last season, the Lobos’ longest under head coach Danny Gonzales.

UNM is now 3-0 against FCS opponents under Gonzales, with previous wins over Houston Baptist (2021) and Maine (2022).

Quarterback Dylan Hopkins shook off an interception on the second drive to finish 13-for-17 passing with four touchdowns while running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt rushed for 162 yards on 12 carries with three rushing touchdowns to boot. For comparison, New Mexico had only three passing touchdowns total and no player had more than three rushing scores in 2022.




“We’ve been talking about how good (Croskey-Merritt) can be,” Gonzales said. “I think (Croskey-Merritt) showed how good he can be tonight.”

Four different players hauled in receiving touchdowns for the Lobos, marking the first career scores for wide receivers Duece Jones and Kaydin Pope. The Lobos’ defense showed up as well, forcing three fumbles and recovering two to kick-start scoring drives in front of an announced crowd of 17,279 fans.

New Mexico’s defense was stellar, allowing just 118 yards of offense and only seven first downs, all of which came in the second half and the Lobos never let Maine get inside the 38-yard line as UNM pitched a 41-0 shutout in its season opener. The Lobo shutout was the first since a 66-0 win in the 2015 season opener against Mississippi Valley State. - READ MORE

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...
