Jaded, or perhaps just unimpressed by Ole Miss' David Huertas and Chris Warren, students in Section 26 of The Pit let the two know what they thought of the tandem during pre-game introductions on Saturday. "Who's that?" the bunch chanted, nonchalantly reading newspapers.
LAS CRUCES ? Easy come, easy go. It took six games into the season for NMSU to lose at home ? and four years for the UNM men's basketball team to sweep the season series. Now it's over. On Tuesday, for the first time since 2004, the Lobos beat the Aggies, 68-66, at the Pan American Center in Las Cruces.
The Anderson School of Management is starting a new master's program aimed at students who have an undergraduate degree in business. The Accelerated Master of Business Administration program is a response to a significant increase in the number of MBA applications at universities across the country, according to a news release from the school.
Artist and Maine-native Kelin Underwood said she's never eaten peyote but has traveled a lot. "I had this serious anxiety issue and was not, like, bound to one place but kind of feeling stuck, like I could never branch out," she said. So she took her dog and a bunch of art she made in high school and took off across the States.
It wasn't the prettiest win, but the UNM women's basketball team pulled away in the second half to improve to 8-1 with a 63-54 win over Big 12 foe Texas Tech on Saturday. The Lobos came out hot and stormed to a 9-0 lead with 15:16 left in the first half, but the Red Raiders stormed back with a 10-0 run to take a 10-9 lead with 9:40 to go.
Arguments are formulated by points - whatever the size. And points, in this case, seem to be a feasible argument. In the UNM men's basketball team's six losses, Tony Danridge has averaged 10.7 points, and was held to single-digit scoring against VCU and Drake.
Editor, With much interest, I read the article in Friday's Daily Lobo reporting on the decision of the regents to divert money from a cogeneration project to Pit renovations but not to move forward on the GPSA-supported expansion of the UNM child care facility.
"Urbane Expo" will showcase emerging artists under 21 with a black-tie-optional night of performance, music and art. "It has a dual meaning," organizer Amy Dalness said. "You think 'urban,' like street, city, kind of hip - urban has a lot of meanings. But 'urbane' means kind of refined and sophisticated.
President David Schmidly defended his fiscal decisions amid jeers from about 750 students and employees during Friday's forum on the University's financial troubles. The sound system failed repeatedly during the meeting, requiring speakers to shout their questions.
Oral Roberts' Robert Jarvis was dialing in from long distance all night, but when the Golden Eagles needed him the most, the line went dead - and the UNM men's basketball team got away 66-63 after being down as much as 15, marking the Lobos' second-largest comeback in The Pit.
It was a coming-out party for UNM senior and starting forward Tony Dandridge Wednesday at The Pit. After being questioned about his leadership ability over the course of the first 10 games for the Lobos, Danridge shined and showed the kind of leader he can be for the young UNM men's basketball team.
Sleigh bells rang, and more than 17,000 fans at The Pit were listening Tuesday. Through the lane, Tony Danridge was whistling past NMSU defenders and helping elevate the UNM men's basketball team to a 76-62 win over the Aggies. Danridge torched the Aggies for 22 points on 8-of-10 shooting.
At Friday's forum, students, faculty and staff told President David Schmidly he needs to pay more attention to their needs. Communication and Journalism chairman John Oetzel presented statistics about the number of faculty and students at UNM and said the ratio is burdening both groups.
Roman Martinez was one of the most beloved Lobos in The Pit on Saturday. "Ro Martinez, Ro Martinez," Section 26 chanted incessantly. Against the Ole Miss defense, Martinez helped UNM improve to 6-4 with a 103-70 victory over the Rebels. For the second straight game, the junior forward from El Paso, Texas, had a standout effort for the UNM men's basketball team.
UNM's new course-evaluation forms are getting mixed reviews from students and faculty. The ICES evaluation forms have been replaced by Individual Development and Educational Assessment forms, which are used at universities across the country. Sophomore Kelsey Carrillo said she remembers the ICES as a more effective way to evaluate courses.
From turmoil to stability, Amanda Adamson's odd 10-point, 20-rebound performance on Saturday against Texas Tech is emblematic of what she's experienced in the past. In one word, her basketball career has been peculiar. Keith Cieplicki, who recruited Adamson to play for Syracuse, resigned in June 2006 after a short and tumultuous tenure with the Orange.
Editor, Those who fret over UNM President David Schmidly's $587,000 salary may not know of what it consists. Wardrobe needs alone draw $95,000, which includes the cost of designing and tailoring presentable suits of Kevlar (cut resistance) and Nomex (fireproofing) - essential against peasant-wielded pitchforks and torches.
They did it again. Once more, Hollywood has remade a great film into a steaming pile of horse crap. The latest victim is "The Day the Earth Stood Still." We should have seen this coming. The first sign that something foul was afoot came when they cast Keanu "Wooden Face" Reeves in the starring role of Klaatu, and it only gets worse from there.
LAS CRUCES - What a game, what a shot and what a comeback. After leading most of the game, the Lobos found themselves down with less than one minute to go against in-state rival NMSU in Las Cruces on Tuesday night. But senior Daniel Faris ended his career against the Aggies the way any Lobo would want to: hitting a shot to win the game.
