The player who fanned the “fire Mike Locksley” flames by supposedly agreeing with a Facebook post encouraging UNM to go winless doused them just as quickly Saturday night at University Stadium.
UNM tailback Demond Dennis was kicked off the team for academic reaasons, Lobo head football coach Mike Locksley announced at his weekly news conference Tuesday.
