A lot of strange things can happen in a dark movie theater. Adam Hevey and Jessicah Adkins decided to share their love of movies and movie theaters with friends and family on their big, but not extravagant, day. Hevey and Adkins have known each other about 14 years, and, on Saturday, they took their vows at the Guild Cinema.
The Daily Lobo was offered the chance to participate in a phone conference interview with director of “The Lovely Bones” and the “Lord of the Rings,” Peter Jackson.
“The Yes Men Fix the World” is a dichotomous film. It is both juvenile and remarkably intelligent, both a nightmare and a dream.
The urgency in Ty Singleton’s voice makes it clear: The UNM softball team’s head coach is acutely aware of the pressure to win. Coming off a disappointing 13-35 third season for Singleton and the Lobos, the need to win has never been higher. “It’s very important,” Singleton said.
Over the nearly 20-day winter break, the UNM women’s basketball team (9-5) remained steady. The Lobos won when they were supposed to and lost when the odds were against them. They notched a win over in-state rival New Mexico State on Dec.
So, I was wrong about Brett Favre. Grossly, painfully wrong. I thought the aging gunslinger would drag an otherwise innocent Vikings team into the bowels of disappointment — exactly where he left the New York Jets last season.
The UNM men’s basketball team was handed its third loss — its second in a row, and its first in 20 games inside the friendly confines of The Pit.
In a sense, what Kendall Wallace did to Steve Alford’s Lobos was poetic justice. Alford, renowned in his heyday for his artistic 3-point stroke, forced teams to extend their man-to-man defenses and do away with zones. This time it was Wallace, salting the Lobos’ wounds by peppering in a barrage of 3-pointers.

#19 New Mexico 68—Dayton 66 News for Lobo men’s basketball coach Steve Alford − well, it’s not really news. “Steve’s lucky,” said Dayton head coach Brian Gregory. For what?
#19 New Mexico 90-#20 Texas Tech 75 Pat Knight said his No. 20 Texas Tech Red Raiders played satisfied and overconfident in the 90-75 thumping handed to them by the UNM men’s basketball team at The Pit on Tuesday. “What it is — you have a hungry team here at New Mexico,” Knight said.

Nope, these Pokes don’t fear December —mainly because they’re rarely playing come this time of year. This time, Wyoming was here for the New Mexico Bowl, but the team straglled 11 points behind favored Fresno State (8-4 overall) in the fourth quarter. The Cowboys, however, fought back, closing a 28-17 fourth-quarter deficit, in which they needed a touchdown, two point conversion and late-game field goal to stage the improbable. These Pokes got a touchdown, the two-point conversion and field goal — plus an additional touchdown in the second overtime of Saturday’s game, giving them a 35-28 at University Stadium. The Pokes’ quarterback Austyn Carta-Samuels, who was named offensive MVP at the conclusion of the game, completed a 13-yard touchdown pass, his third of the game, to wide receiver David Leonard, helping the Cowboys win their first bowl in five years.
Some people in the U.S. don’t know that New Mexico is a member of the union, let alone that the state hosts a Bowl game. But over the last two years, the rest of the country ought to have picked up on the New Mexico Bowl. Wyoming — led by first-year head coach Dave Christensen and freshman quarterback Austyn Carta-Samuels — defeated Fresno State, 35-28, in a double-overtime thriller in the fourth installment of the Land of Enchantment’s very own ESPN football game. I didn’t think that the game would be a contest between the Cowboys and the Bulldogs, or that it would go into two overtimes.
