Conference pipe dreams persist despite harsh reality

Isaac Avilucea | March 29

The only possible explanation for Lobo pitcher Samantha Gatson’s “it’s not that bad” attitude is she’s being tutored by the University’s famous eternal optimist, Mike Locksley. Or she got hit in the head by a line drive. No matter how many times the UNM softball team was reminded how grisly its play was against No.

Pitcher-Perfect Ending

Ryan Tomari | March 29

The UNM baseball team’s pitching staff has given head coach Ray Birmingham fits all season. The Lobos’ pitching was so bad last week, Birmingham is lucky the stress didn’t give him a nervous breakdown. But thanks to right-handed pitcher Bobby Mares’ terrific performance on Sunday, Birmingham can relax. The Lobos won 12-7 on Friday and 8-5 on Saturday against San Diego State.

QB coach looking to make name for himself

Ryan Tomari | March 25

David Reaves has been called Dan Reeves, but don’t jumble the two. Reaves is not to be confused with the famous NFL head coach, who led the Denver Broncos to three Super Bowl appearances in the 1980s and the Atlanta Falcons to the big game in the 1998 season. There should be no mix-up about who David Reaves is. He coaches and molds the minds of UNM football players who play the most pressure-ridden position: quarterback.

'Phase II' amps up running game

Ryan Tomari | March 23

If giving speeches and making plans won football games, Mike Locksley would be undefeated as a head coach. The man who calls himself “Coach Locks” moved forward to Phase II of his proclaimed “renovation project.” But everyone knows how Phase I went. In 2009, Locksley encountered several off-the-field distractions, hampering the results of a year that included a 1-11 season.

Fighting to the bitter end of a ten-inning struggle

Ryan Tomari | March 22

The Utah and UNM baseball teams exchanged rallies on Sunday like people exchange phone numbers with each other. But in a series finale that needed extra innings on Sunday, the Utes got the last call over the Lobos, with a 9-8 win at Isotopes Stadium, taking two of three games from the Lobos over the weekend. “It was very hard to stomach,” said UNM head baseball coach Ray Birmingham.

Friends in times of peace, enemies in war

*Men’s basketball vs. Washington 2 p.m MT. on CBS* SAN JOSE, Calif. — It’s like one of those unfortunate war stories — two men obliged with the task of taking out their best friend, in the name of confounding patriotism. War has no sentimental boundaries.

Entertaining as New Mexico’s Darington Hobson and Montana’s Anthony Johnson have been on the hardwood, they made for better-than-advertised entertainment away from it at Wednesday’s media session at the HP Pavilion. NCAA March Madness maniacs can only hope the two will make for great television tonight, when the third-seeded Lobos battle No.
