NMSU handles drive-by, bomb threat in one week by Kallie Red-Horse Daily Lobo
“There was a layer of soot over everything...” ~Stephanie Hunter Zach Gould / Daily Lobo Firefighters carry their gear out of Hokona Hall after putting out a fire in the dorm’s basement laundry room Friday morning. Residents and staff evacuated, and no one was injured.
Dryer fire smokes out students by Pat Lohmann Daily Lobo
A small fire broke out in the basement laundry room of Hokona Hall late Friday morning, damaging at least one dryer and causing smoke to circulate throughout the building. Dorm residents and staff evacuated the building, and no one was injured, said Kerry Horton, Albuquerque Fire Department battalion commander. “It looks like (the dryer) probably just overheated,” he said. “The fire was confined to the dryer. It looks like a big smoke event, because the ventilation system took it everywhere.” Residents were not allowed back into the dorm until 2 p.m. because of the danger of smoke inhalation. All of the residents and staff members in the building were evacuated at the time of the fire, Horton said. “Personnel and property representatives were good about getting everybody evacuated and stuff like that,” he said. “That’s a big help for us.” Teresa Ortiz, a Residence Life coordinator, said Hokona Hall had a fire drill on Wednesday, which helped everyone exit the building safely. “We do train our staff the very best we can every year, and they followed the procedure like we wanted them to,” she said. “I’m glad it was during the day when a lot of kids were already in class, so it helped not being in the middle of the night.” Freshman Jocelyn Rowse had just stepped out of the building when the fire started. Her clothes were still in the washer.

On top of preparing for the Rio Grande rivalry this weekend, the NMSU community had to deal with a bomb threat and a drive-by shooting. The drive-by shooting on Monday started near the Doña Ana branch of NMSU and moved on campus. No one was injured, and one man is in custody for the shooting, said NMSU Police Department Deputy Chief Steven Lopez. Tuesday, the NMSU Police Department got a call at 8:30 a.m. from a student reporting a suspicious device. Whoever left the suspicious item attached a piece of paper that said “this is a bomb” to the cylindrical bottom of a bicycle U-lock. The supposed bomb was spotted in a planter in the main plaza on campus. Police inspected it and said it wasn’t dangerous. Lopez said his squad effectively handled the bomb threat through the university’s emergency textmessage system. “As we dispatched our officers, we also put out a warning to people in the area,” Lopez said. “When the officers got on scene, they were able determine safe distances and isolate the area without having to cancel any classes or evacuate the building.” NMSU student Brittney Martinez
said the university handled the incident well and warned students of the potential danger. “They did a pretty good job,” she said. “Pretty much everyone that I talked to that day had heard about it.” UNM Police Department Commander James T. Daniels wouldn’t give specifics about UNM’s bomb threat policy but said the department is more than adequately prepared for any situation. “We work hand-in-hand with APD, state and Bernalillo police,” Daniels said. “We can request assistance from their trained squads in any situation.” Freshman Kevin Hudson said UNMPD should defer to a more highly trained and experienced police squad in bomb-threat situations, rather than handle the situation on its own. “I do not trust UNM police,” he said. “They just don’t seem competent to me.” Daniels said bomb-threat situations tend to arise during finals week, because students call them in to avoid taking exams. “People don’t study for their tests, so they panic and call in a bomb threat,” he said. Lopez said both of the NMSU incidents are still under investigation. “There is currently an investigation in regard to both disturbances, but there is no information that we can release to the public,” he said.

GPSA set to open council meetings by Andrew Beale Daily Lobo
Key members of the GPSA voted Saturday to follow the New Mexico Open Meetings Act to the letter. The Graduate and Professional Student Association, meeting as a committee-of-the-whole, voted in support of a constitutional clause that would require members to follow all provisions of the state law

that requires legislative bodies to open their meetings to the public. “In recognition of the fact that a representative government is dependent upon an informed electorate, it is declared to be public policy of this state that all persons are entitled to the greatest possible information regarding the affairs of government and the official acts of those officers and employees who represent them,” the act reads.
A committee-of-the-whole cannot make official changes to the GPSA constitution. However, most of the GPSA members who will be present at the Oct. 3 council meeting, where the changes can be made, were present at the committee-of-the-whole meeting on Saturday. The committee-of-the-whole

The activists respond with a barrage of criticism of the U.S. war in Iraq.

Hokona fire
from page 1
Sophomore Stephanie Hunter lived in the single room directly above the laundry room. She said she threw out her rug and chair because of smoke and soot damage, and she was moved to a single-occupancy room across the Hokona courtyard. “There was a layer of soot over everything,” she said. “It was a really thin layer, and I didn’t really notice it until I sat down and tried to type on my computer … and I lifted my fingers up and my fingers were black.” Hunter said a cleaning crew scrubbed the walls, and she took her wardrobe to a self-service laundry. She said she knows of at least two Hokona residents who lost loads of laundry in the fire. “I know there were two girls on the first floor … they lost their clothes in the washers,” she said. “I don’t think they’re getting them back.”
Open meetings
Rowse said the equipment in the laundry room is often in disrepair. “All year, half of (the washers) have been broken, and when they’re all working, the dryers don’t work,” she said. “I think that’s very irresponsible of the University to have things that are going to catch fire.” Bobby Childers, Residence Life and Student Housing public affairs representative, said his department is going through the Risk Management Department to reimburse students for their losses. He said RLSH doesn’t have an exact estimate of the losses, but he expects they were relatively small. “Basically what happens in all instances of these kinds of emergencies is students are reimbursed for items that they lose,” he said. “We really don’t (have a number) at this time. We understand that it was very minimal.”

voted to comply with the New Mexico Open Meetings Act in council meetings but not in committee meetings. Also, it discussed posting videos of meetings online but decided not to. GPSA Council Chair Danny Hernandez said the act requires posting meeting times and locations at least 24 hours in advance. He said this is too much for an informal committee of less than 10 people. “I think the requirements of the open meetings act are too onerous for our small committees,” he said. The committee also discussed holding meetings electronically by using Skype, the Internet telephone service, to post video on the GPSA
Web site. GPSA President Lissa Knudsen said that holding meetings over Skype would provide the public with greater access to the meetings. “It’s a way to fairly have everyone represented,” she said. Hernandez said the cost of putting the video option on the GPSA Web site outweighed the benefits of having every meeting broadcast. “I’ll be honest, I’m extremely wary with electronic meetings for a variety of reasons,” he said. Council member Dean Palacios also voiced opposition to the electronic meetings. He said the technology would be too difficult for the public to use.

The Associated Press MANILA, Philippines — Many Filipino villagers managed to save only the clothes on their backs but began to rebuild Sunday as the flood waters receded from a tropical storm that set off the worst flooding in the Philippine capital in 42 years and left about 80 dead. Army troops, police and civilian volunteers plucked dead bodies from muddy flood waters and rescued drenched survivors from rooftops after Tropical Storm Ketsana tore through the northern Philippines a day earlier, leaving at least 106 people dead and missing. Some residents began to clean up as the flood waters receded. Still, many parts of the capital remained flooded. A brief period of sunshine showed the extent of the devastation in many neighborhoods — destroyed houses, overturned vehicles, and roads covered in debris and mud. Ketsana dumped more than a month’s worth of rain in just 12 hours, causing the government to declare a “state of calamity” in metropolitan Manila and 25 storm-hit provinces. The declaration allowed officials to use emergency funds for relief and rescue. The rains swamped entire towns

LETTER Athletics sponsors should demonstrate good character Editor, I was not surprised at the tastelessness of the Lobo Louie ad described in the Sept. 25 article, and the lack of judgment shown by the Athletics Department. But I was surprised by the failure of the article to question why any athletic program should have any form of affiliation with a casino. Certainly, if the function of an Athletics Department is to build character and train young people, a relationship with “an exclusive gaming sponsor” hardly supports those objectives. Unless, of course, marketing to alumni trumps all other worthy goals of the University, and no one need be concerned with the effects of gambling on sports in America. As an aside, gaming is worse than gambling, because the odds are stacked in the casino’s favor. Surely, the University and the Athletics Department can find other affiliations and forms of entertainment suitable for students — affiliations that are healthier, that build character and that contribute to the well-being of the society.

LETTER
Strategy for Afghan war needs improvement Editor, Our anguish began when we left Afghanistan to fend for itself after the expulsion of the Red Army in 1989. The U.S. abandonment caused a power struggle, and ultimately the country’s authority was left in the hands of the most revolting tyrants in Afghanistan. So, I must say with great honor that it is an incredible sight, perhaps overdue but nevertheless incredible, to watch our armies fight against right-wing religious fanatics after the 1980s debacle. We should be proud that America has the opportunity to play a role in this fight against totalitarianism. It was correctly stated in Muhajir Salam’s letter on Friday that the number of troops makes no difference in the success of coalition forces in Afghanistan, just as it made no difference in Iraq. The real problem is our strategy. One failed strategy is the fact that we burned and destroyed the only crop produced in that country (opium), when we should be buying it in order to
produce pain medicine. It is easy to see that these economic woes are directly connected to the success of the war in Afghanistan. It was a shame to see Salam try to cite polls and use populism to defend his position after stating that the U.S. is a “so-called democracy.” If we are not a democracy, why raise the point of consensus? The cited poll numbers that Salam used in his letter, released by CNN, came after the two deadliest months for U.S. troops since the liberation commenced, and the major slip in support was amongst Republican voters. Using polls that reflect a nation mourning for the loss of 48 servicemen is nasty and a repulsive attack, no matter how you look at it. And it is interesting to see a pacifist, as Salam apparently is, agreeing with the chauvinist, isolationist tenets of the Republican Party. The use of the term “games of death” is another cheap and disgusting example of slander for those fighting against a culture of death imposed by the Taliban and

al-Qaida forces. While Salam humiliates and disgraces himself in that manner, the real leftist revolutionaries in Afghanistan (i.e. workers unions, women fighting for universal suffrage, the people fighting for free and fair elections) put their lives on the line every day against the disgusting religious right that wants nothing more than to impose a failed theocratic state and blame all the problems that it causes on outside forces. Salam may be proud to hold his sadomasochistic position, and that’s fine, but don’t say, “Nothing short of an act of God will help us now.” You would sound a bit more intelligent saying, “Help me now.” Please don’t pervert terms of solidarity like “us” the way you pervert the fight against barbarism. As far as hoping for an act of God, wasn’t it God who placed the Taliban and al-Qaida there in the first place? Jose L. Flores UNM student

Mike Alquinto / AP Photo People wade in chest-deep floodwater Sunday in suburban Cainta, east of Manila, Philippines. Rescuers plucked bodies from muddy floodwaters and scrambled to save drenched survivors on rooftops after a tropical storm tore through the northern Philippines and left 106 people dead or missing.

and set off landslides that have left at least 83 people dead and 23 others missing, said Defense Secretary Gilbert Teodoro. Garbage-choked drains and waterways, along with high tide, compounded the flooding, officials said. Governor Joselito Mendoza of Bulacan province, north of the capital, said it was tragic that “people drowned in their own houses” as the storm raged. Meteorologists say the Philippines’ location in the northwestern Pacific puts it right in the pathway of the world’s No. 1 typhoon
generator. Doomed by geography and hobbled by poverty, the Philippines has long tried to minimize the damage caused by the 20-orso typhoons that hit the sprawling archipelago every year. Despite a combination of preparation and mitigation measures, high death tolls and destruction persist. “We’re back to zero,” said Ronald Manlangit, a resident of Marikina city, a suburb of the capital, Manila. Floodwaters engulfed the ground floor of his home and drowned his TV set and other prized belongings. Still, he
expressed relief that he managed to move his children to the second floor. “Suddenly, all of our belongings were floating,” the 30-year-old said. “If the water rose further, all of us in the neighborhood would have been killed.” President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo toured the devastated areas and prodded villagers to move on. She said the storm and the flooding were “an extreme event” that “strained our response capabilities to the limit but ultimately did not break us.”

Tennis coach Cañada Tim Tebow, America’s sweetheart sees hope in 1-41 test COLUMN
Tim Tebow is a remarkably detestable football player. There’s the endless media fawning, the squeaky-clean image, the dumbfounding Heisman acceptance speech and, of course, the God complex. Tebow, the bruising, gee-golly face of college football, is the ambassador from a world of early bedtimes and rubber wristbands. After winning two national titles quarterbacking the Florida Gators, Tebow became the proselytizing poster child for everything annoying about his sport. On the field, he’s a bizarrely upright, unstoppable rusher, and he’s averaged 31 touchdowns through the air in the past two seasons. He’s equal parts Joe Namath, Joe Jonas and Jimmy Swaggart. In short, he’s the bro messiah. So, on Saturday, when the Chosen One took a nasty shot, clanked his head on the way down and lay motionless on the field, I should have felt some tinge of schadenfreude. But I didn’t. Hard as I try, I just can’t bring myself to hate Tim Tebow. On the one hand, listening to
DL
Tebow is a bit like driving behind a Hummer: maddening, uncomfortable and ideologically offensive in a way you can’t quite put your finger on. But on the other hand, you can’t blame the sun for rising. To most people, a postgame interview might not seem like the proper place to explain that God has a plan for everyone and that your motivation in throwing footballs at people is to get to heaven. But for Tebow, a man who was raised by missionaries and spends his spring breaks spreading the Gospel to Third-World kids, a career in football is just an extension of the family business. Furthermore, the guy’s entire biography reads like a parable. While his mother was pregnant with him, she came down with amoebic dysentery while out building mud huts in the Philippines. Her doctor recommended she terminate the pregnancy, because having a child would put her life at risk. But she, of course, refused, bringing into the world a brutal football force, smashing fellow human beings on Saturday and getting up for church on Sunday. That story, along with other tearful testimonials of Tebow’s general blessedness, is just a glimpse at the culture in which he
was raised. If you were told your entire life that you were a walking miracle, wouldn’t you start to believe it at some point? And as much as Tebow rarely passes up an opportunity to plug the Book of John, it’s hard to tell which came first: Tebow’s postgame preaching or the sports world’s fascination with his divinity. Would a reporter ask Colt McCoy if he was saving himself for marriage? Would ESPN speculate that Jacory Harris asked Jesus for some downfield blocking? Tebow fields all manners of nonsensical questions and, in a sense, his willingness to bind faith and football for his interviewers is kind of endearing. As tempting as it is to snicker when Tebow explains that Jesus “already tweeted enough; we just have to look at it,” there’s no pretense to his madcap preaching. The guy’s just doing what he knows: saving souls and winning football games. You can’t hate an athlete for being honest with himself. So, when Tebow gets to the NFL and turns every postgame presser into a revival, it won’t bother me. Unless he gets drafted by the Cowboys.

Daily Lobo
If this weekend’s fall invitational was a quiz for the UNM women’s tennis team, then the Lobos need to study more. Even though UNM combined for a 1-41 record this weekend, head coach Roy Cañada said this year the Lobos are a strong young team. “If I were to compare this to academic terms, I approached this weekend as a quiz for us,” he said. “It’s not the final exam. The good thing about a quiz is that it is a great way to prepare for the final. It lets us know what things we need to work on to improve.” The Lobos will need to gain some experience in the near future, but they got a whole heap of it by hosting their fall invitational this weekend at the Lobo Tennis Club. The bright spots were few and far between: Laura Richardson captured the Lobos’ lone win, defeating Jane Huh of the University of Arizona 6-3, 6-1. Anya Villanueva-Forte stood toe-to-toe with the No. 29 player in the country, but fell 6-0, 6-3 to Arizona’s Natasha Marks. As a whole, UNM was tested, facing nationally ranked opponents, including No. 34

Boise State, No. 39 Denver and Texas Tech. “We don’t have any seniors on our roster, and our two juniors are the only players with real collegiate experience,” he said. “We had four players who were making their collegiate debuts this weekend, and two others who didn’t see a lot of time in the lineup last year.” UNM lost seniors Ola Abou-Zekry, Mackenzie White and Maria Sotirchos when they graduated in May; sophomore Emma Hayman transferred to a different school and sophomore Victoria Tessmar returned to Sweden. That left juniors Ashley Bonner and Anya Villanueva-Forte and sophomores Manumea Durie and Eliane Bourdages as the lone returners this season. “Anya and Ashley were kind of thrust into the leadership role,” Cañada said. “They went from competing for a spot on the team last year to the No. 1 and No. 2 spots this season.” The Lobos picked up newcomers Kristin Eggleston of Palm Desert, Calif., Michaela Oldani of Scottsdale, Ariz., Laura Richardson of St. Louis, Mo., and Amy Shipperd of Melbourne, Australia. “The freshmen bring a lot of energy and excitement to the team,”

Rivalry from page 12 NMSU’s first-year head coach DeWayne Walker said the Aggies wanted to leave the Lobos with the least amount of time possible for a comeback. “I said, ‘We are just going to keep the ball and burn up all this time and make this our last running drive,’” he said. But there were still 39 seconds left for the Lobos. After the touchdown, the Lobos operated in their two-minute drill, coming out at their own 20-yard line. The Lobos had already attempted the hurry-up offense in their final drive of the first half, but they had failed to push the ball efficiently, with Porterie dumping to his check-down receivers for minimal gains. But Porterie was another man in the fourth quarter. He was 3-of-6 on the final drive, totaling 50 yards and pushing the Lobos to the Aggies’ 30yard line, which set up Aho’s fieldgoal attempt. “We have two-minute drills all the time and similar situations,” Porterie said. “It was the first time this season that we actually had to do it to try and stay in the game. All the receivers were on point. … We set the team up to tie the game, so I can’t ask for more from our receivers.” The Lobos nearly scored on one of Porterie’s incompletes. Lobo receiver Daryl Jones left the Aggies’ corner burned with a double move, leaving
nothing between him and the end zone. But Jones stumbled on the run, letting the pass sail out of his reach. Throughout the game, the two teams had drastically different offensive plans. The Aggies chewed the clock on their possessions. They had two scoring drives of more than seven minutes and 70 yards and one four-minute field-goal drive. The Lobos, on the other hand, either punted in a hurry or scored quickly off big plays. UNM’s longest drive took about three minutes. A 62-yard touchdown dash by tailback Demond Dennis put the Lobos up 7-3 before linebacker Carmen Messina’s interception gave UNM the ball on the Aggies’ 44-yard line. James Wright rushed 39 yards to set up Porterie’s short touchdown pass to fullback Chris Biren. Porterie completed 16 of 28 passes for 206 yards. “For this offense to be the type of offense that I am accustomed to it being, we need to be able to run the ball and pass the ball when necessary,” Locksley said. “It is still a work in progress.” However, the running game remains a cornerstone of the Lobo offense. After Wright’s two long touchdown runs last week, he was moved up in the rotation and gained 47 yards while splitting time with Dennis. But Wright injured himself after a 39-yard run in the second quarter.
Locksley said he has a strained hamstring and is day-to-day. Dennis, who had just 102 total rushing yards in three games, nearly matched his season total, running for 98 yards on 16 carries. Fumbles have plagued him throughout the season, but he held onto the ball on Saturday. But the Lobos had other miscues. UNM had six penalties for 54 yards, including two personal-foul calls that extended a critical Aggie drive, which led to a second-quarter touchdown that gave NMSU a 10-7 lead. The Lobos had a punt blocked, a muffed kickoff return and a muffed punt return. The Lobos’ looming schedule gets tougher. UNM will head south to face Texas Tech next week, and fans are left wondering: When will the Lobos get their first win? “There is still a few things that we can work on,” Porterie said. “I wouldn’t say (we are) nervous, but we have to have a short-term memory and get ready for next week.”
Lobos looked to extend their undefeated streak, but the Lumberjacks had other ideas. In the 59th minute, NAU’s Corie McGuire converted a one-on-one opportunity, depositing it into the left side of the net, past the outstretched arms of Lobo goalkeeper Kelli Cornell. McGuire again got into the box in the 72nd minute and drew a foul from Cornell when the Lobos’ goalkeeper dove for the ball and knocked
McGuire to the ground. McGuire converted the game-winning penalty kick. “It gets frustrating, because on defense you want to be the one getting it done,” Quador said. “It’s disappointing that one call can make or break a game like that. It’s unfortunate that we couldn’t put the ball in the back of the net, but it just happens sometimes.”

Opportunities from page 12 you have to put away your chances early,” she said. “If we don’t, then we’re going to be in a dogfight every game.” In its three games, which have resulted in two ties and a loss for the Lobos, UNM has outshot its opponents 72-15 and has taken 16 more shots on goal. Despite UNM’s offensive prowess, the team continues to struggle to maximize its potential on the offensive end of the ball. Up 1-0 at the half Friday, the

Remodel from page 12 who made 75 percent of his field goals last year. But the kick went wide right, and the Lobos’ tomb was sealed. NMSU head coach DeWayne Walker, who is also in his first year at the post, said he feels for Locksley. “Even your worst enemy, you don’t want them to go through what he’s going through right now,” he said. An exasperated Locksley, eyes gleaming, couldn’t even praise Porterie’s poise on the last drive. “We had some guys make plays,” Locksley said. “We put ourselves in position to tie the ball game and go into overtime. But the bottom line is we didn’t get the job done, so it’s a moot point.” Other than a regrettably memorable third-quarter drop by tight end Lucas Reed that essentially was the difference in the game, there wasn’t much to fault the Lobos for, nothing to point to in efforts to rationalize this defeat. UNM netted more offensive yards than the Aggies (356 to 218). The Lobos won the turnover battle. Donovan Porterie outplayed Trevor Walls, throwing his first touchdown pass of the season. Demond Dennis wasn’t a menace to his team, but rather for the Aggies, basically matching NMSU’s tailback Seth Smith yard-for-yard
Tennis
— 98 yards on 16 carries to 113 on 31. Still, Reed’s miscue was unmistakably painful to watch — even for an objective person. If Dwight Clark had “The Catch,” Reed had “The Drop.” Locksley called a slip screen. Porterie faked to the flats while Reed ducked behind the coverage undetected. Porterie lofted him the ball, but Reed completely muffed the reception, and the Lobos had to settle for a field goal. But Aho’s 44yard attempt darted wide right, and instead of having a 4-point lead, the score remained 14-13. “You can’t dwell on the loss too long,” Porterie said. “Coach Locks has a 48-hour rule — we’ll dwell on it a little bit tonight, tomorrow. But Monday we got to come back to work.” But they’ve been working on the same kinks for weeks now. In life, there are certain things that are unavoidable: death, paying taxes, and perhaps a winless season for the Lobos. Stubbornly, Locksley continues to call this a remodeling project. But it might be time for him to concede that, like it or not, this isn’t a renovation project: It’s a rebuilding job. “Sometimes before things get good things get pretty bad,” Porterie said.
from page 8
Bonner said. “The cool thing is that they were already e-mailing each other before they all came here. So now, instead of having to meet each other, they can focus on adjusting to Albuquerque and networking and meeting
other people.” Hopefully, Cañada said, this is just the beginning for the Lobos. “We play these teams again in the spring when it counts,” he said. “Having already played them, we’ll be ready for them next time.”

LOBO FOOTBALL
Effort falls just short in Rio Grande rivalry game by Mario Trujillo Daily Lobo
Lobo kicker James Aho crouched on the 37-yard line with his hands on his head as the Aggies’ bench rushed the field and the clock showed double zeros. Aho had just pushed a 47-yard game-tying field goal wide right NMSU 20 that otherwise would have sent 17 UNM the Rio Grande rivalry into overtime. The Lobos fell 20-17. While Aho knelt, other UNM players lay facedown on the field. “Losing hurts,” said head coach Mike Locksley. “We had opportunities to send the second-straight class through here never losing to the Aggies. We had a chance to win seven in a row. We had the opportunity to win the ball game, and we didn’t take care of it.” For the first time this season, the Lobos entered the fourth quarter with the lead, 17-13. UNM’s offense showed signs of progress, totaling a season-high 356 yards. Quarterback Donovan Porterie finally got on track, tossing a touchdown for the first time in two years. It was the Lobos’ first touchdown pass in eight games. But the Aggies (1-2) had winning

on their minds as well. NMSU’s only win — a narrow one at that — had come over Prairie View A&M, a Division II team. On Saturday, the Aggies looked to steal their first Division I win.
With 7:39 left in the game, Aggie quarterback Jeff Fleming, who entered Saturday’s game as NMSU’s backup, orchestrated a 17-play, 59-yard drive, which chewed seven minutes off the clock. The drive
converted three third downs and two fourth downs against a Lobo defense that stayed on the field for 38 minutes.

Scorers need to capitalize on chances
Locksley’s ‘remodeling’ project needs revision by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo

Long stockings couldn’t cover up the UNM women’s soccer team’s Achilles’ heel Friday. The Lobos’ weakness — an inability to capitalize on offensive opportunities — had gone unNAU 2 exposed until Northern AriUNM 1 zona University entered the UNM Soccer Complex. The Lumberjacks became the second team this season to score twice on the Lobos — and the first to hand them a loss, 2-1. On paper, UNM held the advantage in nearly every category against

NAU. The Lobos outshot the Lumberjacks 28-5, including a 15-1 advantage heading into halftime, and had six more corner kicks and four more shots on goal. UNM was first to get on the board, too. In the 23rd minute, defender Zaneta Wyne received a pass from Jael Fanning and blasted a five-yard shot into the back of the net, but that was the only opportunity UNM

would take advantage of. “Once you get that first goal it’s a settling factor,” Wyne said. “I think that’s the thing that got to us.” Senior defender Jess Quador said UNM will continue to struggle if the Lobos don’t put points on the board. “What came out of this is that

Boy oh boy — this year’s version of the UNM football team makes the lottery seem predictable. Throw out little things like logic. Discard sensibility. And statistical trends? Well, those are irrelevant. It didn’t matter that, heading into Saturday’s game with NMSU, the Lobos had won the last six matchups with the longtime rival. It was irrelevant that since 1998, when possessing a lead at halftime, UNM was 45-18 (now 45-19). Or that a lead heading into the fourth quarter, where they were 50-11, all but insured the Lobos’ victory. The Lobos played uncharacteristically well, but they quite characteristically lost, dropping a 20-17 decision to the Aggies. After idling for three games, the Lobos’ offense finally dumped the clutch and compensated for the defense’s lack of execution at the end
of the game. Twice on NMSU’s last drive, the defense failed to stop the Aggies from converting on fourth down, the last one coming on fourth-andgoal. What’s more, I would’ve wagered the house that UNM’s defense was going to hold up. In the last two home games, the Lobos, with their backs against the wall, fended off opponents in their territory and held them to field goals. But that’s the Lobos for you. Instead it was the offense — and of all people, Donovan Porterie — to the rescue. With just 37 seconds to work with, the Lobos marched to NMSU’s 30-yard line, and Porterie hit wide receiver Ty Kirk twice, sandwiched around a 17-yard reception by Chris Hernandez, to set up a 47-yard, game-tying field goal. The Lobos’ fate rested on the foot of an All-American kicker, James Aho,
