by Andre van der Merwe Daily Lobo I don't really want to seem like a bandwagon-jumper or anything, but to increase my odds of picking the two teams to meet in Super Bowl XL, I'm definitely going to have to do some jumping here. My pick for the 2006 Super Bowl is - trumpets playing in background - of course, the Patriots taking on Chicago.

by Riley Bauling Daily Lobo You didn't see ex-UNM soccer players Brandon Moss, Jeff Rowland and Lance Watson on the first day of classes. Actually, you won't see them at all this semester.

by Riley Bauling Daily Lobo Ritchie McKay wasn't sure why the UNM men's basketball team shot a season-high field-goal percentage in the Lobos' 83-75 win over Colorado State on Saturday night. It could have been that the Lobos wanted to put on a show for the 16,201 in attendance - the most this season at The Pit - or maybe it was the return of Joel Box - who quit on Dec.
by Riley Bauling Daily Lobo Freshman Daniel Faris couldn't have picked a better time to chip in the first points of his Lobo career. Or play tough defense against two seven-footers. Or toss an elbow or two to show he wasn't backing down.
