Woof ...Woof...Woof
Then, I thought about it.
The UNM mascot is a lobo.
From a PBS story:
In 1893, a bounty hunter named Ernest Thompson Seton journeyed to the untamed canyons of New Mexico on a mission to kill a dangerous outlaw. Feared by ranchers throughout the region, the outlaw wasn’t a pistol-packing cowboy or train-robbing bandit. The outlaw was a wolf.
Lobo, as locals simply called him, was the legendary leader of a band of cattle-killing wolves that had been terrorizing cattle ranchers and their livestock. Known as the “King of the Currumpaw,” Lobo seemingly had a mythical ability to cheat death, eluding the traps that ranchers had set for him throughout the countryside.
It was up to Seton, a naturalist as well as a professional animal trapper, to exterminate this “super-wolf.” The ensuing battle of wits between wolf and man would spark a real-life wilderness drama, the outcome of which would leave a lasting effect on a new and growing movement in America: wilderness preservation.
Hmmmmmmmm!
So, maybe I've been wrong all along. Maybe the call isn't "Woof...Woof...Woof" - it's "Wolf...Wolf...Wolf".
In Dreamstyle Arena - The Pit - on Saturday night, January 5, 2019 - the University of New Mexico Lobos played host to the University of Nevada - Reno --- Wolfpack!
The New Mexico Lobos sent the Nevada wolves packin!
It was the first defeat for "the wolfpack" from that Nevada city this year.
Woof...Woof...Woof!
Our New Mexico wolves had best be ready...'cause I think those Nevada wolves are going to be really hungry when the Lobos visit the Biggest Little City in the World, in about a month!
