Watching The Holy War will always remind me of the 2003 BYU-Utah game...a Cougars victory would have given New Mexico the Mountain West title (Lobos handed Utah is only MW loss under Urban Meyer earlier that year)... Agonizingly close.

It's two at the top, and then the rest in my mind for my G6 Top 6. Boise still in the driver's seat based on committee's rankings and on pretty much every computer metric, but UNM isn't fading. In fact, the D only seems to put up better numbers each week. (graphic fixed)

With my physical setback yesterday our David Klovach is handling all the girls state soccer today, and I am filled with guilt about this. Dave has done so much to have my back while I’ve been hospitalized. He’s gone way way above and beyond the call. I owe him big time.

FAU wins 60-29, just days after I confidently said New Mexico would have to worry about being passed by UTSA in the race for the G6 playoff bid. For more freezing cold takes, consider watching our weekly show: youtube.com/live/dDa8N0Xaxqk…

Everybody wants Jason Eck. He won’t promise he’s staying at New Mexico. He won't lie about it either. “If I ever leave here, I'm going to be very selective." 23 years as an assistant. 12 head coaches. 5 kids. Years of debt. The Era of Eck is here. 📝 cbssports.com/college-footba…

OK, Sebastian and I differ on three of the 21 games on the list -- all of them in the smaller classes. We are the same in 6A, 5A and 4A.

The prep football picks are returning today!!! @SebastianNoel and I will pick winners in 21 playoff games (20 of them are the 11-Man first-rounders, plus Menaul-Fort Sumner). I'll let you know the results a little later.
