After season of selfishness, Lobos focus on teamwork

Isaac Avilucea | September 7

Wine hath drowned more men than the sea. So, too, has overconfidence. All last season, the UNM men’s soccer team battled to maintain humble sobriety — and lost. Liquored up on success — and drunk with talent — the Lobos ever-so-slightly reduced their investment in altruism, instead turning toward selfishness. Understandably: Winning, much like alcohol, makes for insatiable addicts.

Lobos plan to be in game, not at it

Ryan Tomari | September 3

Mike Locksley is an optimist. He doesn’t appear at all worried that the UNM football team is headed for College Station, Texas, this weekend to face Texas A&M, a team that beat the Lobos 28-22 in Albuquerque last year.

The UNM volleyball team pulled off back-to-back come-from-behind victories on Saturday at Johnson Gym to capture the championship of the MCM Elegante Lobo Classic. After topping Delaware 25-20, 25-13, 25-21 Friday night in their season opener, the Lobos rallied from a 2-1 set deficit to edge Portland State on Saturday afternoon.

Freshman seems favorite to start

Ryan Tomari | August 28

The UNM football team’s running backs are playing a game of musical chairs — all four are dashing for the starting seat. Surprisingly, freshman Demond Dennis created a buzz during fall training camp and might be the clear-cut favorite to take the field Sept. 5 in the Lobos’ season-opener against Texas A&M.

Brett Favre is back in the NFL with Minnesota, but the Vikings picked the wrong QB if they were looking to go to the Promised Land. Opinion editor Damian Garde says Favre’s a trinket from a bygone era.

Speedy Vick leaves Favre behind

Damian Garde | August 28

Last week, the Earth rattled, rivers ran red and ESPN’s Ed Werder briefly caught fire. The Minnesota Vikings signed Brett Favre. The Internet promptly imploded under the weight of heavy-handed sports journalism.

Many Lobo linebackers vying to start

Mario Trujillo | August 26

No doubt the UNM football team’s linebacking corps is deep, but the jury is still out on whether they’re all game-ready. They’ve had to adapt to a switch from a 3-3-5 defensive scheme to defensive coordinator Doug Mallory’s 4-3 defense, linebackers coach Toby Neinas said. And how many players the Lobos will rotate at linebacker remains to be seen, Neinas said.

Isaac Avilucea | August 25

Mike Locksley wants to know what good it does him to clue us in on who’s going to be the UNM football team’s starting quarterback this season. How’s this? Once you officially announce who’s going to be the starting quarterback, Coach, you don’t have to hear any more questions about it. Here we are, 10 days before the Lobos’ Sept.
