Dawg Sports, a Georgia Bulldogs community

The Mike Locksley era is finally over in Albuquerque.

Mark Richt spoke to the Georgia faithful at the Metro Atlanta Bulldog Club kickoff banquet on Monday night. The reception he received, and the remarks he made, suggest that he may not be as much on the "hot seat" as the media believe.

With the NMSU and UNM games now safely in the rear view mirror, Miner Rush takes one last look back to give out some postgame awards.

The local news coverage in Albuquerque keeps asking, "How terrible are the Lobos?" The negative press has Miner Rush thinking maybe UNM's players have heard enough.

In The Dig: There's a new Donald Buckram watch, great recruiting notes, we catch up with Derrick Caracter, conference realignment is starting to wake up yet again, and of course, all the New Mexico links and notes you need or want.

It's time to take a closer look at Mike Locksley and the New Mexico Lobos football team.

In The Dig: I'm not saying that New Mexico is the worst team in college football, but there's no denying they're in the conversation.... at or near the top of the list.... in the top 5..... Okay, they might be the worst team in college football. If you're the kind of Miner fan that enjoys watching the Lobos suffer, The Dig is the place to be......

Wacky rumor of the day: Are the UNM Lobos on the verge of firing Mike Locksley and bringing in the 'Captain?'
