Psst -- looking for the inside scoop and juicy details about Lobo football?

Well, good luck with that! In the meantime, four guys -- who rightly or wrongly probably consider themselves experts on the University of New Mexico program -- crammed into Van Tate's KRQE-TV workplace in Albuquerque to talk about first-year coach Mike Locksley and the gang.

Oh, and I was there, too.

It's Van Tate's online series, "The Sports Office," and the KRQE sports staff invited the Team's Bob Brown (radio host on 101.7 FM, again, Albuquerque) and me to give us our "insights" on the upcoming season.

Here are the top five reasons why "Eldrick" has replaced "Tiger" and will fall short of the still-Golden Bear.

No. 5: Fatherhood. Knowing Eldrick as well as I do ...  ... just waiting for the laughter ...I get the impression he's not a bad guy. He's never been accused of shooting himself in the leg at a club, making it rain at a strip club, taking female hormones, mistreating animals of any kind, doing anything improper in restaurants with patrons or in hotel rooms with hotel personnel. All he's done is curse ... and perhaps pass gas.
