UNMPD creates social media campaign

Being accessible to the University of New Mexico has always been a goal for UNM’s Police Department, but now the department wants to take it one step further and connect with college students through social media. Last month UNMPD launched a new initiative and hashtag called #UNMStrongerTogether. This initiative also kicked off the department’s new Twitter and Instagram social media accounts. The hashtag aims to make UNMPD more accessible to the University community and increase awareness of the importance of community policing.

Movie Review: "BlacKkKlansman" proves relevant in 2018

On Aug. 10, 2018 “BlacKkKlansman,” hit theaters nationwide. The movie is based on true events written in Ron Stallworth’s memoir, “Black Klansman: Race, Hate, and the Undercover Investigation of a Lifetime.” The film, set in the 1970s, follows Ron Stallworth (John David Washington), an African-American police officer in his journey through the police force. Although he did not work for the Colorado Springs Police Department for long, Stallworth has his eyes set on advancement. Due to his ambition, his chief places him in intelligence — this is where the story begins.

Football: Tuioti and company lead UNM to a victory in season opener

The University of New Mexico football team, with its newly revamped offense, proved to be too much for University of the Incarnate Word Cardinals on Saturday evening, defeating them 62-30 at Dreamstyle Stadium in its season opener. Despite the score, though, the Lobos gave up 566 yards in total offense to UIW -- something head coach Bob Davie said his team has to fix soon. “We can’t win with the kind of performance we had on defense,” he said. “We got to take this personal, we got to bounce back, we got to watch the tape. And we need to clean all this out and move forward because I know we can play better (defensively). ... We’re not gonna be able to do this offensively to other people like we did tonight, let’s be honest.”

The best and worst sports clichés

Some coaches and players rival politicians and public speakers in the gift of saying a lot, while at the same time saying nothing at all. Many of the responses start to become routine — and although the words can be particularly useful when they are trying to divert attention away from an issue or a controversy — they become stale or "cliché." Clichés are especially prevalent in sports and can yield reactions from people that range from laughter to eye rolling to outright disgust. Some of them used to be creative before they became commonplace, and not all of them can show up in one article, but here are some of the best and worst clichés— along with an analysis from a coach that has probably heard and said plenty of them. One of the most important positions in hockey is the goalkeeper. He or she has to locate a fast-moving puck in the midst of a bunch of bodies and try to prevent it from slipping past their glove or stick to light the lamp. If a goalie is particularly acrobatic or saves a lot of shot attempts, many say "the goalie really stood on their head today out there".

Column: Regents' accountability for sports cuts is lacking

Amidst the outrage swirling around the decision to cut four sports from UNM’s Athletics program, lies the question of who is responsible. While most of the vitriol and threats to withhold funds from the University are aimed at President Garnett Stokes and Athletics Director Eddie Nuñez, many of the parties responsible are left unscrutinized. For a decade, leadership in Athletics promised increased attendance in games to bolster budgets, despite these claims having no basis in fact. And that’s only the beginning.

Five sports movies you need to watch

Films have an incredible way of inspiring others — especially sports cinema. Even for those who aren’t sports fans, movies that focus on a team, or just a single player, add a unique perspective into the dynamic world of athletics. In honor of the start of the fall sports season at the University of New Mexico, let’s take a look at great sport films to watch during this upcoming season.

The many club and intramural sports available at UNM

With the large budget and team cuts being made to the athletic department of the University of New Mexico, it is comforting to know there are other options for students to get engaged through athletics during the brief college years. Intramural and club sports on campus can be a great option for athletes and non-athletes looking to compete and travel in casual settings. Unlike school-sponsored teams, club sports are not associated with the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Instead, these sports are student-run and have a student-centered approach to athletic activity.

Economist says cutting sports will cost UNM

Andy Schwarz, an Antitrust Economist who helps to run the site Sportsgeekonomics, has analyzed the University of New Mexico’s analysis of the money the University would save by cutting the four sports scheduled to be discontinued at the end of the 2018-19 fiscal year. Upon reviewing the information, Schwarz believes that UNM has overstated the financial benefits by nearly $800,000 due to a loss of revenue from the student-athletes who attend on partial scholarships that will choose to go elsewhere, as well as other factors.

Football: Head coach feels no pressure stemming from sports cuts, rather an urgency to reclaim lost momentum

“We had great momentum as I stood here a year ago — well, we lost that momentum — and we have to go get it back.” Losing has a tendency to make fans and critics alike forget things, but University of New Mexico head football coach Bob Davie’s statement above is accurate — as good times weren’t all that long ago. It was August 27, 2017 and Davie stood in front of the media talking about the upcoming season.The program wasn’t just riding high, it was an all-time high. New Mexico had just put together the best two-year stretch in program history.

UNM celebrates Smith Plaza re-opening

After nine months of construction that made one of the most heavily trafficked areas on campus inaccessible, the newly remodeled Smith Plaza was officially opened on Wednesday with a ribbon cutting ceremony. The plaza was originally constructed in 1972 and hadn’t undergone any major changes since. One major factor motivating the remodel was safety. Among the new additions are wider ramps to make the plaza more accessible, easier access for emergency vehicles and four plateau areas for socialization.

New Mexico to enact straight-party voting next election

The Secretary of State (SOS) Maggie Toulouse Oliver announced Wednesday that straight-party voting will be an option on the 2018 election ballot, a decision that has already received backlash from both sides. Toulouse Oliver said she promised to implement straight-party, also called straight ticket, voting during her run for Secretary of State, and being on the verge of ballot printing deadline, she said there was no other time to announce the decision, because the office needed time to test sample ballots.
