Getting your player ready...
Calling all New Mexico State fans. In a twist on Little League moms lining up after-game treats, New Mexico State’s budget-conscious football staff distributed an e-mail this week asking fans to donate after-practice or late-night snacks for hungry players. It’s a consequence of the national economy, of course. The memo went out after the first day of practice, and six donors wasted no time before they ponied up. “It’s good stuff like trail mix or peanut butter and jelly sandwiches,” linebacker Jamar Cotton said. “We had a guy bring in a bunch of watermelons. That was great. The team was excited. It was like little kids getting lollipops.” The Associated Press
