Imagine the rapturous vindication Ted Thompson will experience when he comes to find that his Lambeau leap of faith will end with him holding the NFL’s Holy Grail. With a win in Super Bowl XLV, the Ted Thompson transformation will have come full circle.
UNM officials canceled classes for the remainder of the day and issued a two-hour delay for Friday’s classes due to weather concerns.
It was far from pretty for the UNM women’s basketball team, but a gorgeous result nonetheless. In a battle of Mountain West Conference cellar dwellers, the Lobos clawed their way back from a nine-point, second-half deficit to defeat Air Force 64-59 on Wednesday at The Pit. “Air Force is a much-improved team,” head coach Don Flanagan said.
“Wicked” is the biggest thing to hit Broadway since sliced bread that can auto-tune itself. Creators Stephen Schwartz and Winnie Holzman have shrewdly followed the tradition of refashioning popular, pre-existing cultural icons into mainstream poppy hits.
UNM head football coach Mike Locksley was smiling like a child on Christmas morning. But Wednesday was the second best day of the year for the 40-year-old, whose birthday just so happens to fall on Christmas day: It was National Signing Day, and Locksley announced the addition of 21 players to this year’s signing class, headlined by five signees from Maryland. Locksley said his coaching staff played a significant role in bringing the recruits to UNM. “I’ve said many times,” Locksley said.
The UNM men’s soccer team looks to score goals. Oddly enough, it’s something the Lobos couldn’t do in 2010 and head coach Jeremy Fishbein wants that to change. Stocking up on firepower, the Lobos on Wednesday signed seven recruits, all straight out of high school. Fishbein said he couldn’t ask for a better recruiting class. “We’ve got two great local kids, two international and three kids from in the region,” he said.

Albuquerque is burning for a Jim Rome visit. Please Rome, do it for the “clones” — and more specifically, Mike from Albuquerque. One of Rome’s “clones” (a nickname the radio host gives his listeners and callers), Mike sticks out in listeners’ minds, including mine.

For some student veterans, navigating through a crowded campus is stressful. Joey Diaz, Student Veterans of UNM president, said he knows a student veteran who refuses to walk across Smith Plaza. “Most people don’t see anything wrong with walking through a crowded area,” he said.
Editor, Those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it. The U.S. government and U.S. campuses appear to have not learned much from the 1979 Iranian revolution and subsequent kidnapping of Western professors. Anyone familiar with yesterday’s history knows that before the current mullahcracy in Iran there was a Western-backed secular government in Tehran.
Editor, I believe it’s appalling how administrators decided to close campus 30 minutes before classes started.
I think it’s safe to assume this morning that groundhogs around the United States are seeing their shadows.

The UNM rugby team is going national — or trying to, anyway. With some help from Coaches Sports Grill, rugby team members are having a fundraiser tonight at the UNM-area sports bar.
