Challenge ends with blood on court

The injury-plagued UNM volleyball team managed a runner-up finish at the Lobo Challenge this weekend. After sweeping Cal State Fullerton on Friday — 25-19, 25-17, 25-22 — the Lobos were handed their first loss of the season Friday at the hands of Baylor in a hard-fought 3-2 thriller.

Goalless overtime draw prolongs perfect record

The record-shattering UNM women’s soccer team’s historic ride continues. UNM remains perfect at 6-0-1 and has tied the school record for most matches without a loss after battling Tulsa to a tie at the UNM Soccer Complex on Sunday. The Lobos played through two tough overtimes, but in the end neither team could find the back of the net.

Lobos historically reliable running game tripped up

Through thick and thin — and mostly thin — the Lobo football team has been able to count on one thing: the running game. From Don Perkins to Don Woods, from Winslow Oliver to Rodney Ferguson, almost every era of UNM football has had a marquee back to carry the team. So, when this year’s Lobo squad averages 38 yards on the ground and a dismal 1.6 yards per carry over its first two games, there’s some cause for concern among the UNM faithful. Even head coach Mike Locksley, who perhaps got spoiled by the dominant Rashard Mendenhall during his tenure at Illinois, is struggling to find a remedy. “With this same style of offense (at Florida and Illinois) we led the SEC and the Big 10 in rushing,” Locksley said.

Disappointment grows, even for Lobo diehards

New Mexico is a grand whine cellar. Choosing to chastise Lobo football aficionados in his scathing departing shot, former head coach Rocky Long said in not so many words that UNM football supporters were nothing more than wine-and-cheese fans.

Touchdowns elude offense once again

Smoking areas ill-conceived, poorly designated, smelly

Editor, I have read and heard much of the discourse regarding smoking on campus, or the ban of it, I should say.

UNM Press employees fear outsourcing

The University of New Mexico Press office will soon change buildings, but that’s not why Joyce Perz is cleaning out her desk. “We’re about to be laid off,” she said. “That’s why I’m getting my things organized.”

Question of the Week

ASUNM rephrases Veterans Day resolution

The ASUNM resolution encouraging the UNM community to take Veterans Day off is now a little less “flowery.” After an ASUNM Senate vote sent the resolution back to committee Sept. 2, the Steering and Rules Committee revised the wording on Wednesday. “(Last week) everyone said ‘I want to pass this, I want to pass this,’” said Steering and Rules Committee member Chelsea Stallings. “But nobody felt the wording was right.

Notorious time waster may train the brain

Just because a video game distracts students from homework doesn’t mean it’s not making them smarter.

Richard Haier, a Tetris study researcher, said his group recruited 26 adolescent girls who had no experience playing Tetris or most other video games.

Lobos look to weather the Hurricane

There’s a hurricane warning this Saturday in Albuquerque. Early reports indicate the eye of the storm is headed straight for University Stadium. UNM will face Tulsa in its home-opener, but head coach Mike Locksley doesn’t want his team looking for vengeance from last year’s 56-14 beat down at the hands of the University of Tulsa Golden Hurricane, said linebacker Clint McPeek. “We would like to redeem ourselves,” he said.

Key player plagued by shoulder trouble

There comes a point when even a loyal soldier realizes some wars are lost causes — they aren’t worth investing in anymore. That point might have come for Lobo safety Ian Clark, the UNM football team’s most raucous and experienced defensive leader. A source close to Clark is “90 percent sure” Clark is out for the season after his left shoulder was re-injured for the second time in less than a month.

Life insurance is a complicated issue in the United States. Consumers are constantly bombarded by commercials reminding them their odds of living are not the best, scaring them into paying large amounts of money for a plan that many allow to lapse before they die.
