Eyes on the national prize

The UNM rugby team is going national — or trying to, anyway. With some help from Coaches Sports Grill, rugby team members are having a fundraiser tonight at the UNM-area sports bar. Alex Melad, three-year UNM rugby team member, said the team has never had local help. “It’s great because in the past no one has really ever supported us,” he said.

For Ross, home base is here

Cody Ross had a November that he will never forget. Ross, who is from Portales, N.M., and a graduate of Carlsbad High School is a Major League Baseball player who won the 2010 World Series with the San Francisco Giants. Ross said winning the Fall Classic was bigger than life to him. “It’s surreal,” he said. Ross was honored by UNM and head Lobo baseball coach Ray Birmingham on Friday night at a UNM-sponsored banquet to celebrate Ross’s achievements at Ladera Golf Course.

Aggies get served in ABQ

Revenge is sweet for the UNM men’s tennis team — especially when it comes against its biggest rival. After dropping a disappointing 4-3 decision to rival New Mexico State last season, the Lobos rebounded for a 5-2 win Saturday at the Linda Estes Tennis Complex. Head coach Alan Dils said his team waited a year for vindication. “We didn’t like losing in Las Cruces last year,” he said.

BYU Goes Belly-up

In Section 21 of The Pit, three BYU fans showed up with a sign that read, “You Got Jimmered.” Unfortunately for the Cougars and their fans, BYU got “Snelled” on Saturday.

Brace for scoring menace

Jimmer Fredette. It’s a name worth about 30 points. After ending a three-game losing skid with a 71-46 victory over TCU on Wednesday at The Pit, the UNM men’s basketball team will now face off with No.

Luck’s not with ladies lately

The UNM women’s basketball team has been in a funk lately. Plagued by another poor shooting performance, the Lobos dropped their fifth straight game, a 59-51 decision to UNLV on Saturday at The Pit.

Where’s the love? Fans lack faith

I didn’t have to listen to the post-game radio call-in show with Scott Stiegler on 770 KKOB after the UNM men’s basketball team lost to UNLV on Saturday. I already could paraphrase what was going to be said about the Lobos dropping a heartbreaking loss to the Runnin’ Rebels, 63-62, in Las Vegas: It’s now time to give up on the season. Those 2009-10 bandwagoners along for the 30-5 joyride have abandoned ship this season. Fans that claim the Duke City is a “basketball town” have given up on the best act in the city.

From racecars to running shoes

Ruth Senior is finding her pace, even though it’s 100 miles per hour slower than it used to be. Growing up in Norwich, England, she ran a lot at an early age, but only to keep in shape for a different sport.

Hopes rest in crybaby Cutler

Hey, Jay Cutler: Turn that frown upside down. You’re playing in the NFC Championship Game! Many might hate Jay Cutler for being, well, a jerk. Dubbed a cry baby in Denver when Josh McDaniels was hired, Cutler got his way and was part of a three-team trade two years ago and found himself in the Windy City. We know the story.

Utes bring hoops, Swoops

For the UNM women’s basketball team, this season has been uneasy and maybe a little nauseating. The Lobos have lost seven of their past eight games and are 0-3 in the Mountain West Conference.

MWC hopes rest with Utah

Next stop for the UNM men’s basketball team: Utah. After losing 87-77 to No. 6 San Diego State, the Lobos head on a two-game road trip that starts Wednesday.
