Head coach Jeremy Fishbein has every reason to feel positive about the upcoming season for UNM men’s soccer team.

Before my life becomes consumed by a blur of college athletics, lawsuits and fantasy football, here are five NFL headlines worthy of mention.
It’s really not what any Lobo fan wants to hear: a beefed-up schedule with lots of young talent. That is the outlook for Jeff Nelson and the 2010 UNM volleyball team. Nelson, the third-year head coach at UNM, has his Lobos embarking on probably their toughest task to date. The Lobos have seven freshmen on the roster: Mariah Agre, Chantale Riddle, Lexi Ross, Juliane Hanna, Carli Torr, Ashley Newman and Miquella Lovato.
Although the UNM men’s basketball teams schedule still hasn’t been set, the UNM women’s team is ready to roll into the renovated Pit.

The Lobos will host seven nonconference games, including an exhibition game Nov.
A week after New Mexico-based attorney Dennis Montoya filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Albuquerque on behalf of former wide receivers coach J.B.
Let the legal showdown begin. As promised — and expected — former UNM wide receivers coach J.B.
The New Mexico-based attorney for former wide receivers coach J.B. said in a phone interview Tuesday that his client was given the right to sue by the Equal Employment and Opportunity Commission, after an investigation into the physical altercation between UNM head football coach Mike Locksley and Gerald.

by Ryan Tomari Daily Lobo As a member of the UNM community, I have tried to stay optimistic about the upcoming 2010 UNM football season. After picking up NCAA Football 2011 at midnight at my local Walmart, consider my enthusiasm curbed. All things considered, in the end, the final score was Oregon 72, UNM 3.

There’s no defending the conspired commercial ploy, a down-and-dirty business deal crafted among promoters, boxers and television enablers.

In his own way, Carmen Messina played like a ferocious wolf on the football field in 2009, or maybe a bucking bronco. Messina, a middle linebacker on the UNM football team, is the preseason favorite for the “Bronco” Nagurski Award, which is awarded to the nation’s best college defensive player by the Football Writers Association of America and the Charlotte Touchdown Club.

It wasn’t exactly Death Valley, but the UNM men’s basketball team jaunted through the dunes of doom on June 26. Led by strength and conditioning coach Mark Paulsen, the Lobos spent Saturday scaling the hills near the Hard Rock Hotel Albuquerque and taking part in a voluntary workout.
