The New Mexico Lobos represent the university in intercollegiate football. The Lobos are an active participant in the Mountain West Conference. Cherry, red, and silver are their official colors. University Stadium is the site of all Lobos home games. Long resigned on November 17, 2008, two days after the regular season concluded for the Lobos, after coaching there for 11 seasons and compiling an overall losing record. The reason Long gave for why he wasn't the one to take the program to new heights was his lack of experience. He continued, saying he had no intention of retiring and wanted to keep coaching at the coordinator level. The New Mexico State Aggies, New Mexico's in-state opponent, are the team to beat every year. The name "Rio Grande Rivalry" was coined to describe the series. On January 1, 1894, eighteen years before New Mexico became a state, its two NCAA Division I universities played a football game in Albuquerque, and a rivalry was born. The Battle for the Kit Carson Rifle was an annual rivalry between Arizona and New Mexico between 1938 and 1990. Legend has it that legendary frontier scout Kit Carson used this Springfield Model 1866 rifle—the stock of the weapon features etched game scores from each match.
