Idaho coach Eck to New Mexico

Yeah, ABQ has some serious crime. Major drug problems, gangs and violence. I am not exaggerating with my response. …

Back in the day, I visited ABQ fairly often on business, and we've gone back since. (I love New Mexican food.) One day, a guy I knew casually at Sandia Lab arrived late to work, and announced that his car had been stolen. To bed at his usual time, breakfast, then finally out. His car, a moderately upscale model, had disappeared from his driveway. The police came and recorded all the relevant info, but then basically said, "Don't hold your breath."
It might already be in a local chop shop, but was most likely in a truck headed for the border. To my knowledge, he never learned anything further. The insurance company didn't really fight his claim, but strongly advised him to keep his new car in his garage (a problem, since the garage was filled with "stuff" :cautious:).
 
Would Baldwin be a good fit there?
That's an interesting question. Baldwin is a Washington guy who got his coaching start at this alma mater, Central Washington. I think he got on former Ewoo coach Paul Wulff's radar after Central gave Eastern a couple tough pre conference games.
He's in Calgary now.
 
No solid sources, but I believe UC-D has been suggested as a move-up to replace teams leaving the Mountain West.
They moved all their other sports to MW, is it looks like that could be a plan. MW has been avoiding FCS teams it looks like. I don't know but UCD looks like the most likely to get an invite based on school academic reputation and media market.
