OPINION: Bobbleheads of the week

Rodney Prunty | June 13

Where there’s a victor, there’s a loser, and sometimes, certain athletes contribute to their team’s shortcomings. These athletes are favorably called bobbleheads. This year's NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs has brought us down-to-the-wire action throughout every game, but with that comes the emergence of bobbleheads and two stand out above the rest, specifically for their errors in a pivotal Game 4 of this series.

UNM and Olen agree to contract extension

Rodney Prunty | May 12

After just one season, the University of New Mexico and men’s basketball coach Eric Olen have agreed to a five-year contract, keeping him in New Mexico for the foreseeable future. In his single season at the helm, Olen led the Lobos to a 26-11 record (13-7 in conference play), and an NIT tournament appearance where they made a deep run but ultimately lost to the Tulsa Golden Hurricane. Olen also now holds the title for most postseason wins (conference & national tournaments) by a first-year Lobo head coach with four.

REVIEW: ‘Invincible’ season 4: Bigger, better, bolder

Rodney Prunty | May 11

The fourth season of Amazon Prime's hit show “Invincible” wrapped up on April 22 and did not disappoint. Season four delivers a lot of highs and very little lows, with this season's main story line following the Viltrumite War — the war between our cast of heroes and the Viltrumite empire, the alien race that Omni-Man is from. The voice acting in this season is stellar as Steven Yeun, who voices Mark Grayson aka Invincible, kills it through the entire season. Gillian Jacobs, who voices Atom Eve, doesn’t have the most screen time this season but does an amazing job as an emotional anchor for Mark, and you can hear it in her performance.

Rodney Prunty | May 11

Simon Reseigh’s first article was an opinion article, an article type he would continue to write during his time at the Daily Lobo. From “Bobbleheads of the Week” to predictions, Reseigh always had something to say. “I’m a big yapper when it comes down to sports, and I have some very strong opinions on certain teams and how I feel about certain teams, so I thought, might as well just throw it out into the universe and let everyone read my ramblings and see if the agree or if they think I am a crazy person,” Reseigh said.

REVIEW:‘Life Is Strange: Reunion,’ a beautiful farewell to the partners in time

Rodney Prunty | April 13

After the previous entry in this beloved series “Life Is Strange: Double Exposure” failed to deliver, Deck Nine Games needed to make sure the next installment steered the franchise back on track. On March 26, “Life Is Strange: Reunion” was released, becoming the seventh installment in the series. While having some minor flaws, “Reunion” largely accomplishes their goal. “Reunion” picks up where “Double Exposure” left off with fan-favorite protagonist Max Caulfield, but unlike “Double Exposure,” she’s not alone, as they pair her up with her partner in time Chloe Price.

Where there’s a victor, there’s a loser, and sometimes, certain athletes contribute to their team’s shortcomings. These athletes are favorably called bobbleheads. Miami Dolphins NFL free agency officially started on March 11, and ever since it began the Miami Dolphins have made some Bobblehead-esque moves. To Miami’s credit they cut quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who was arguably one of the key contributors to the team's lack of success in recent years. To replace Tagovailoa, Miami decided to go out and sign quarterback Malik Willis from the Green Bay Packers, signing him to a three year, $67.5 million contract with $45 million guaranteed.
