It's come to this.

Due to the recession and a subsequent budget crunch, New Mexico State's football team is requesting that fans donate snacks to the team. That's not a joke, not a point of satire meant to illustrate the difference between playing at a Big Six conference and being a member of the WAC. Nope, that's the unvarnished truth.

According to the AP, "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." Why are they doing this? To help close a $1.5 million budget gap. That's an awful lot of snacks.

Truth. They practice till after the cafe closes they are SOL.

They can't have separate cafeteria's and catered meals like the rest of 'em.

That's what I'm saying. You know you'll be hungry later. Grilled cheese in a napkin.

There, I saved you a million bucks.
