A few UNM football notes. The Lobos had a 45-minute practice this morning after school officials used snow plows to clear one field. The offense practiced on the southern end and the offense worked out on the northern end of the same field. One snowman was quietly created on the sidelines during practice but was crushed. Afterward, senior Curtis Pino led the Lobos in a snowball fight. The team also used tackling dummies as sleds, sliding down a pristine patch of snow on the hills separating the upper and lower practice fields.

Everyone was at practice and there were no injuries to report. Jake Bowe is recovering from a concussion he suffered last week, but he can practice without contact and has been cleared to play Saturday.

San Jose State arrived Wednesday afternoon and was greeted at its team hotel by mariachis, a treat the Lobos also enjoyed. The teams had a kickoff dinner at El Pinto. The main event was a green chile cookoff. Robert Turner and Bo Greer helped the loaded Lobos lineup win the top green chile dish, but the team lose style points on dancing. I suspect it was a ploy to just call it a tie and settle it all on game day.

I'll have an update shortly with UNM commitment list, being that today was junior college signing day. There are six guys who got their letters of intent in today and two more expected tomorrow.
