Rocky Long

I don't know what's going on in New Mexico but coaches from there hate Boise State.  Hal Mumme of New Mexico State repeatedly bad-mouthed the Broncos and had no respect for them in the years he coached in Las Cruces before getting fired.

Now we have Rocky Long, the former coach of New Mexico who is the new head man at San Diego State.  He protested all summer long about the Blue Turf, saying Boise State should get rid of it, then complaining about the "Blue on Blue" issue that seems to be making a mountain out of a mole hill (Boise State has just as good a record when they are not wearing blue as when they are..)  The Mountain West Conference bent over backwards for Long, officially issuing a statement that Boise State was not to wear Blue uniforms on the Blue Turf, while not also saying that Colorado State could not wear green uniforms on their green surface.

Long made more news at the annual MWC meetings when asked who the best team in the league was:  “In my opinion, Air Force is the best team in the league this year,” Long said. Yes, Air Force. “They’re so efficient at what they do—you can’t get ready for them in one week.”

I don't think I need to add to this in any way.
