Aggie fan to root for Lobos this weekend
August 30I am sending this message to the Lobo football team in hopes of their success this weekend. I may be defecting my life-long support of the New Mexico State University Aggies for just this football game.

`Going Greek' a worthwhile college experience for some
August 28College should be an experience in your life unmatched by any other, at least up until now.
