Went out to practice this morning. Lobos are in preparation mode for the trip to Laramie to face the red-hot Cowboys.

The first half of practice took place in the IPF as the Lobos will be on the turf this weekend. The second half of practice was outside on the practice fields. Mostly first team offense facing and simulated Wyoming defense and the first-team "d" facing a simulated Wyoming offense.

Can't really say someone looked good or stood out, it was more like I was watching them study for a test. Practice, practice, practice. Repetition was the word...

One thought while watching the defense practice.

If "Got Syrup" is the "underground" Red Menace catch phase for the offense lineman while they are flippin' pancakes, then I will submit this for the" underground" Red Menace catch phase for the defense.

"GET THERE!" That is the constant drumbeat pounded out by the defense coaches while the Lobos are scrimmaging against the simulated Wyoming offense, or any other defense. "GET THERE!" is what the swarming Lobo defense is all about...getting to the ball en masse. All 11 players surrounding the ball carrier, with no escape.

"GET THERE!" I want that T-shirt.
