Lobos limber up in yoga class

Isaac Avilucea | August 5

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.

Effort to save hot-headed player started too late

Isaac Avilucea | July 27

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. "Isaiah needed to go home to Houston and take care of some personal issues," Alford said.

In a December news conference where he was introduced as UNM new head football coach, Mike Locksley talked about having an offense that would light up the scoreboard. But as the season draws near, he said it's equally important to have a solid defense.

Locksley: Poor offense not an option for Lobos

Isaac Avilucea | July 27

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.

Just take it one game at a time

Isaac Avilucea | July 27

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.

Golf tournament champ started early

Loretta Cardenas | July 27

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.

Lobos sport retro look in new gameday threads

Isaac Avilucea | July 20

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.

I learned it all from a rookie

Damian Garde | July 20

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.
