So Saturday’s game vs. BYU was big in the fact the
Lobos
crushed the hated Cougars, but also in the fact that Section 26/Howl
Raisers
along with TheRedMenace.com host their first ever Lobo Hoops Tailgate
Party!
Look for this sign for the tailgate vs.
UNLV... 4 hours before the game!
So
I took off to be a part of new “Lobo Tradition”. Of
course I felt like an old man as these youngsters were tearing it up,
listening
to Wes and Jeff talk about the plans and ideas they have to help
promote
Section26/Howl Raisers. It was so cool hearing young minds think how
they can
promote and get more people excited. It reminded me of countless
conversations
that Dom and myself had ten years ago when thinking up The Red Menace.
However,
I digress…

The changing of the guard?
TheRedMenace.com has been approached by a couple of Lobo
student groups before and while we have tried to get involved and
helped, it
never seemed to “happen” as the students involved just couldn’t get it
off the
ground… That has changed as TRM’s very own Wes Henderson has been named
President of the Howl Raisers/Section 26 gang and in true TRM fashion
immediately started looking for help and putting all his effort and
ideas into
not only forming this group but growing it.
After
the tailgate party on a beautiful day one complete
with brauts, cervezas, sodas, football game, and good old partying the
students
of Section 26 headed into the world famous Pit and started in on the
hated
Cougars.
Check out the photos as the Section 26 guys hand out the
Howl Sheets to help fans be able to taunt the Cougars “cough cough”
cheer on
the Lobos J
They start the minute the opposition walks on the floor and it is never
ending.
Yes, there is that sold loudmouth that can’t think of anything smart so
resorts
to vulgarities, but that person is quickly drowned out as students
chant,
cheer, taunt, and come up with smarter and much cleaner fan/player
interaction
Here
are some photos for you to enjoy:
Let
the taunting errr... Cheering begin
Check out that ladies face on the lower left hand freaked out by the
Section 26 "missionary"
The
BYU starting 5 is named... Section 26 could care less!
Now for your Lobo starting 5!
BYU wants to shoot a free throw?
Not in our house!
As the Lobos continued to take a commanding lead the
Students were the catalyst to bring The Pit to noise levels not seen in
many
years in Albuquerque.
I spoke with the leaders of Section 23/Howl
Raisers and just
like The Red Menace, they are desperate for your ideas on how to
improve
things, and grow this. I’m hoping you will contact Wes and Jeff as they
have
nothing but UNM’s best interest. Help them help you UNM students both
current
and future!
