George Barlow, the UNM football team’s cornerbacks coach, will have to perform some dentistry work on the Lobos’ secondary. He’ll have to fill some cavities.
Realistically, in a season dubbed a “rebuilding year” by pundits, how many games does the UNM football team expect to win?
I can’t entirely blame Isaiah Rusher for his shortcomings. That would be too easy. On Wednesday, basketball head coach Steve Alford announced that Rusher was dismissed from the team.
As a child, Nick Geyer was given a slew of sporting options. On his sixth birthday, Geyer’s father, David, gave him a baseball glove, a hockey stick, a tennis racket, a basketball and a golf club.
It’s become one of the most-often repeated football aphorisms: “Offense wins games, but defense wins championships.”
At first it sounded like a tacky, made-for-TV testimonial, a way to solicit more players from the UNM football team to join in the yoga sessions held twice a week inside the Indoor Practice Facility.

It's become one of the most-often repeated football aphorisms: "Offense wins games, but defense wins championships." But how many championships did the UNM football team win in Rocky Long's defense-oriented program? While UNM ranked 45th in total defense last year, the Lobos were bottom dwellers when it came to offense.
Realistically, in a season dubbed a "rebuilding year" by pundits, how many games does the UNM football team expect to win? "Our goal is to win one game every week and then count them up at the end," head coach Mike Locksley said. "I'll leave the prognosticating up to you guys.
As a child, Nick Geyer was given a slew of sporting options. On his sixth birthday, Geyer's father, David, gave him a baseball glove, a hockey stick, a tennis racket, a basketball and a golf club. "We just started to go through all of them, and golf is the one that ended up sticking," Geyer said.

At first it sounded like a tacky, made-for-TV testimonial, a way to solicit more players from the UNM football team to join in the yoga sessions held twice a week inside the Indoor Practice Facility. "You put in the work, you get the results," said UNM linebacker Jaymar Latchison.
Apparently, in head football coach Mike Locksley's eyes, "if you look better, you play better." So in accordance with that philosophy, Locksley unveiled the Lobos' 2009 season uniforms at a news conference on Friday. The slightly modified uniforms have a more traditional, almost throwback feel to them, Locksley said.
Watching the MLB All-Star Game is tough. Trust me. I tried. Last week's exhibition of American League dominance was, somehow, less interesting than ones prior. Manny Ramirez was absent, Ryan Howard choked, and Josh Hamilton just isn't as exciting when he's not addicted to drugs.
Two UNM volleyball players will take their game to the international level this week. Sophomore middle blocker Ashley Rhoades and libero Allison Buck are two of the 12 players selected to represent the United States on the Bring It Promotions/USA Development Team.
Dex Yellow Pages might not have as many listings on the West Coast as Wyking Jones. Jones, UNM's new assistant coach for men's basketball, comes to New Mexico boasting nearly a decade of experience and some heavy West Coast connections, head coach Steve Alford said.
Phil Jackson thinks he's a supreme-court justice. He thinks coaching the Los Angeles Lakers is a lifetime appointment. But what he needs to realize is that he doesn't need to return to the Lakers. In fact, he shouldn't - for the betterment of his health and the organization's.
Few people - other than football players - know the intricacies of the cover-two defense. Thanks to the Lobo clinic "Football 101," about 50 women from New Mexico are now among those few. That was one of many things head football coach Mike Locksley and his staff taught during Saturday's annual clinic, which catered exclusively to women, inside University Stadium.
To say he can simply fly is selling his did-he-just-do-that explosiveness short. With one fluid bound of his bulging right calf muscle, Tony Danridge can propel himself off the precipice of the planet. Yet, he's one of the most down-to-earth players to court the ozone layer.
Early last week, head football coach Mike Locksley announced a rule barring his players from Downtown Albuquerque. His decision came a day after two players, Quintell Solomon and Byron Bell, were arrested on multiple charges in the area. "I don't want to get into specifics of where, what, and what block it cuts off at," Locksley said.
