Temper, Temper! - Living in New Mexico Makes People Angry!

Oh New Mexico!

Land of Opportunity! Land of Beauty! Land of Enchantment!

And if you aren't careful, the Land of Entrapment!

Welcome to the College Football Guys FIRST EVER post about lovely New Mexico! With so many nice things to say about the place unfortunately today we have to be negative.

In September of this year it has been alleged that new New Mexico head coach Mike Locksley was caught up in a physical altercation with an assistant on the team, that only a Raider fan would be proud of. Earlier this week word leaked that the "victim" in the altercation sent Locksley a letter asking for a half a million dollars in "silence money."
