Can Doug Martin please come back and coach our offense.
There are some very noticeable names missing from these teams for NMSU if you go back and look at who was supposed to be All-WAC prior to the season. That about sums up the season.
Congratulations to all the players who made All-WAC!
Enjoy it! Independence does not have an "All League" team.
Feel free to thank Boston for securing NMSU's future!
Teddy,
Is there any truth to the boosters withholding a million or so dollars until Boston decides on the football program? They're not thinking of firing Walker are they? It's the Athletic Departments (Boston) fault for not putting money into the program. Let us know.

looks like walker is gone to california
