The world continues to mourn the passing of boxing legend and humanitarian Muhammad Ali, who at age 74 succumbed to complications from Parkinson's Friday evening. Here are some of Ali's most recognizable quotes that college students can relate to, for better or for worse:
Make it 116 consecutive games the Lobos have won when leading after the eighth inning. New Mexico's starter Colton Thomson was cruising through five innings before the Patriots were able to finally get to UNM’s ace. Dallas Baptist exploded in the bottom of the sixth to bring them within shouting distance of the Lobos late in the ballgame.
A pair of Lobos have joined the All-American squad for their work in the classroom. Chris DeVito and relief pitcher Alex Estrella are two of three players in the Mountain West to receive the honor, Air Force’s Russell Williams received the nod as well.
Entertainment mogul Drake needs no introduction. His hooks frequently invade clubs around the world and his records climb up the charts with ease. Yet on his latest full length release “Views” it seems Drake has become much too familiar with his comfort zone, reveling for eighty minutes in routine lyrics and nuances that become excessive by only the half way point.
The road to Omaha will feature some familiar faces for New Mexico in the regional tournament this weekend. On Monday, UNM was selected as the No. 3 seed in the Lubbock, Texas Regionals. Of the three opponents, New Mexico has faced off against two of the clubs in the double elimination tournament.
For the first time in two decades, the Lobos will open up the season on a Thursday night. Originally scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 3, UNM will now kick off its season against South Dakota on Sept. 1.
Sophomore Carl Stajduhar is running out of room for all the accolades rolling in from the 2016 campaign. New Mexico’s third baseman can now add All-American to his resume, following his first team all-conference, MW triple crown, and the Mountain West Player of the Year award.
UNMH's Advanced Life Planning Task Force takes the necessary steps to ensure people meet their end in comfort and piece of mind. As far as proper preparation goes, there’s more to death than just dying, said Anne Simpson, M.D., director of the Institute for Ethics at UNM Health Sciences Center. Dr. Simpson is a chief proponent of the institute’s Advanced Life Planning Task Force, an ad hoc committee devoted to spreading education on end-of-life matters.
Nasha Torrez will be the new Dean of Students at UNM, effective June 1st. Torrez said she had an excellent experience as an undergrad and graduate student at UNM and she hopes to replicate that experience for other students. “I have a deep commitment and enthusiasm to not only the University but the state so I hope that’s something I can share with students.” As Dean of Students, Torrez said she will work hard while being as accessible and transparent as possible to students. “I came up through UNM as a student, and to have this opportunity is just unbelievably special. It’s a real honor,” she said.
New Mexico recruit Ethan Zubak has opted to forgo his college eligibility in order to pursue a professional career with the L.A. Galaxy. Zubak, a Los Angeles, California native, committed verbally to UNM as a junior in high school and signed his letter of intent in February of 2016. He will forgo his college eligibility to join the MLS.
The local vibes required many fans to stand along the third baseline if they had not arrived to any of the three New Mexico games during the Mountain West tournament. Head coach Ray Birmingham has turned the UNM program into a site of familiarity with all of the native faces up and down the Lobo lineup.
Head coach Mike Bradbury is bringing in yet another familiar face to the New Mexico women’s basketball program.
If we give a damn about climate change, about saving water, about water pollution, about saving forests; if we give damn about cruelty to animals, about all hungry people worldwide having enough to eat, about our own health, stop eating all meat and dairy — cheese, milk, ice cream, eggs.
New Mexico head coach Ray Birmingham got his wish. Following Saturday evening’s 14-4 victory over Nevada for the conference tournament title, Birmingham said he wanted to play somewhere that suited UNM baseball. He said he didn’t want to venture to a ballpark that didn’t allow the Lobos to swing for the fences.
Six more Lobos punched their ticket to the NCAA Championships on Saturday, totaling 10 athletes that will head to Eugene Oregon for a shot at collegiate gold at the western preliminaries. Sophie Connor, Emily Hosker-Thornhill, Calli Thackery, Aasha Marler and Janell Hadnot and Josh Kerr will all join Alice Wright, Courtney Frerichs, Allan Hamilton, and Elmar Engholm who qualified for the NCAAs on Friday.
It’s time to have the talk. No, not about the birds and the bees – about the bees and the seeds. GMO-Free New Mexico hosted the second annual Albuquerque Bees & Seeds Festival on Saturday at Tractor Brewing Wells Park.
It is the employers of “illegals” who are acting illegally themselves. But we argue only over whether undocumented workers – whose only crime is looking to work and feed their families – should be deported or allowed to stay under a reform of our immigration policy.
New Mexico took home the Mountain West crown Saturday night in traditional UNM style – an explosive offense that scores in bunches. Though not as dramatic as most walk-offs are, UNM finished the game in the seventh inning with a game-winning single from third baseman Carl Stajduhar. The two-run RBI single sent the UNM bench rushing to the field as conference champions in a 14-4 route over the Nevada Wolfpack.
Nevada cruised to the Mountain West tournament championship game with a 12-1 win over Air Force in seven innings Saturday at Santa Ana Star Field. The third-seeded Wolf Pack will play No. 2 seed New Mexico at 5 p.m. and will have to secure a victory to force a sudden death game for the tournament title Sunday afternoon. UNM already beat Nevada 3-0 on Wednesday.
Four Lobos will represent New Mexico on the big stage for the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon on June 8-11. Though inclement weather prevented teams from competing on Thursday, Courtney Frerichs, Alice Wright, Elmar Engholm and Allan Hamilton have all punched their ticket after placing in the top 12 at the NCAA West Preliminary Round at Rock Chalk Park in Lawrence, Kansas on Friday.
