Gerald to University: Expect lawsuit

by Isaac Avilucea Daily Lobo

J.B. Gerald, the Lobos’ former wide receivers’ coach, said he had faith that the University would expose the truth at the conclusion of its investigation into a Sept. 20 physical altercation between him and head coach Mike Locksley.

But during a 50-minute interview with the Daily Lobo on Saturday, Gerald said it became increasingly apparent throughout the process that the University wasn’t concerned with determining exactly what happened that day.

For that reason, Gerald said the University and Locksley can expect a lawsuit, though he didn’t specify

when he would file one. interview, Gerald expanded upon University spokeswoman Susan comments he made to ESPN. He said McKinsey said Locksley punched UNM expected and choked him a lawsuit from during a coaches’ Gerald. meeting.

“What happened in that room — those working conditions are unfit for anybody.”

Director Paul Krebs met on three occasions after the altercation, and Gerald told Krebs that he didn’t intend to return because his relationship with Locksley was irreparably damaged.

“Those discussions were about, as (Krebs) used this term a lot, ‘damage control,’” Gerald said. “‘Can you get past this?’ The conversations were pretty much about that.”

Shortly before the incident was made public, Gerald said Krebs contacted him and urged him to downplay the severity of the incident and even encouraged him to return to work.

“He said, ‘We need you to give a statement to defuse this thing. Go

Not all religious sects are anti-abortion

by Andrew Beale Daily Lobo

A pro-faith and abortion-rights lecture at north campus on Thursday encouraged students to consider how these two concepts, which are often thought to be at odds, can work together.

Life begins when a fetus is able to live outside the womb, some time in the second trimester, said Frank

Yates, a Protestant minister.

“In most Jewish and Protestant conceptions, breathing is the issue,” he said. “The moment you have viability — that is a breathing, living being — then folks like me say that’s when you really get excited about protecting that life.”

The lecture was organized by the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, Spiritual Youth for Reproductive Freedom and Medical

Students for Choice.

Lori Lovato, of Spiritual Youth for Reproductive Freedom, said the groups planned to have a Roman Catholic priest speak at the lecture too, but his bishop told him not to attend.

College Republicans spokesman Eric McInteer, who is in the process of joining the Roman Catholic Church, said life begins at conception, so abortion is a form

of murder.

“Let’s say you abort a child one week after the egg was fertilized, and you abort a child one week before the child would be born,” he said. “The result is the same — the child has been murdered.”

Yates said the Roman Catholic Church and the Protestant church have different ideas of when

Bridges don’t usually wear bras.

But thanks to Bras Across the Bosque, more than 1,000 bras covered the Montano Bridge on Friday in honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

“We thought it would be a great visual spectacle to raise awareness,” said Enrico Jeantete, American Cancer Society spokesman. “It’s attention grabbing because it is kind of risqué, but it also gets the message out and gets people thinking about breast cancer awareness.”

The event was a first-ever collaborative effort between The Peak radio station, Lovelace Hospitals and the American Cancer Society.

Jeantete said that more than 1,000 donated brassieres were placed across the bridge on Friday at 4:30 a.m., and were taken down at 1 p.m.

Laura Rasmussen, UNM’s Colleges Against Cancer co-chairwoman, said the bras were collected at local establishments, including Lovelace, two auto stores and across campus.

“The goal of the event was to collect as many bras as possible,” she said. “We had three trash bags full — probably a hundred bras from UNM — and for every bra collected $1 was donated to the American Cancer Society.”

Jeantete said that at least 30 of the bras were donated by a breast cancer survivor.

“We had someone bring a huge bag full of bras with a note with it that said, ‘I used to love bras, and I am a breast cancer survivor so I

Anne Lippert is a second-year graduate student in the psychology department at UNM. She is doing research that could lead to a better understanding of psychopathic behavior.

E S T I O N

Daily Lobo: Can you tell me about the research that you do?

Anne Lippert: The research that I do isn’t strictly psychological, it’s more interdisciplinary. Right now I’m working on a project with agentbased modeling. We have these little agents, which are like if you were looking at a video game and there were little Pacmen running around everywhere — it’s all computer simulations. Within each agent, we’re going to program some of the neural architecture of the brain.

DL: You said you’re programming brains in these agents, how do you do that?

AL: You can build these neural

networks that mimic how the brain works in the computer. We’re putting these neural networks into each of the agents. Mainly what we’re doing is using theoretical math — an area called category theory. It lets us build neural networks in each brain area.

DL: What do you hope to do with the results of your study in the future?

AL: I think one of the goals of the study is to try to better understand how terrorist behavior emerges.

What is it about the psychology of individuals that promotes gangs or irrational behavior? We want to use the results to look at what factors individually and as a society contribute to terrorist behavior. We want to see how gangs might form because of individual differences or environmental factors.

Harvard wants UNM graduates.

The Harvard Law School Dean of Admissions, Joshua Rubenstein, traveled to campus Friday to make the Ivy League school seem less pretentious. “My goal is to talk to as many students as possible,� Rubenstein said. “I want to replace a lot of the myths about the admissions process and make sure they get accurate information.�

North campus was one of Rubenstein’s many stops in a week-long effort to market the Harvard Law experience to prospective law students throughout the Southwest.

The UNM chapter of the Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity sponsored his visit.

Phi Alpha Delta Law Fraternity prelaw@unm.edu Rubenstein said stereotypes attached to the Harvard name are inaccurate. He said the law school, although challenging and extremely selective, isn’t as impossible to be accepted into as commonly perceived.

Rubenstein said the potential for academic success and leadership are the two main factors reviewers look for in an application. Rubenstein also touted the importance of diversity and said a specific undergraduate discipline does not factor into law school acceptance. “We love the fact that our students come from so many different fields of study,� Rubenstein said.

back to work. Give a statement. Defuse it, so you don’t pour gasoline on this thing,’” Gerald said. “From that

standpoint, I knew that it wasn’t about what happened to me in that room. It was about the perception of the Uni-

versity more so than what happened.”

Krebs didn’t return phone calls on Sunday.

How push led to shove All the ruckus was caused by a disagreement over a play. Locksley, upset because a motion formation wasn’t executed correctly during the Lobos’ game against Air Force, had heated exchanges with at least two other coaches before directing his anger toward Gerald.

He asked Gerald if he could get the problem fixed, according to Gerald’s first-hand account and handwritten notes from HR investigator Shannon Garbiso, provided by the office of the Custodian of Public Records. “‘However you want it done, let me know, and that’s how I’ll install it,’” Gerald said. “(Locksley’s) response was, ‘It should’ve (expletive) been done that way from the first (expletive) day.’”

The meeting then seemed to move forward, Gerald said, but Locksley turned his attention back to Gerald.

“Out of the blue, he comes back to me, ‘Hey J.B., you think we can (expletive) get the play put in that way,’” he said.

Again, Gerald said he would install the play however Locksley wanted it put in. That’s when, Gerald said, Locksley walked over and attacked him.

“I’m looking at him like, ‘What’s he about to do?’” Gerald said. “He basically jumps in my lap, hands around my neck, my collar included. As he’s pulling me up, I’m trying to get up. I grab his hands he’s trying to pull me up out of my seat. My arms are down by my side, pinned to my side, and coach Locksley’s swinging punches.”

Mike Degory, centers/offensive guards coach, attempted to restrain Locksley, while quarterbacks coach and offensive tackles/tight ends coach Cheston Blackshear and quarterback coach Tee Martin pulled Gerald away from Locksley.

At an Oct. 12 news conference to announce Locksley’s 10-day, unpaid suspension for his role in the altercation, Krebs refuted Gerald’s claim that Locksley threw a punch, saying that “no witnesses verified coach Gerald’s allegation that coach Locksley threw a punch.”

being said.” Those notes, however, are protected by law, Gonzales said, and are not available to the public.

Gerald said his relationship with Locksley was strained before the altercation in September. The head coach threatened Gerald physically after a practice on Aug. 13, Gerald said.

During a verbal spat, Locksley dressed down Gerald, berating the former wide receivers’ coach and even threatening him. “‘This is my (expletive) field,’” Locksley told Gerald, the assistant coach said. “‘I reserve the right to say whatever I want. This is my field, my sanctuary. I can say whatever I want to say.’ I was like, ‘You can’t talk to me like I’m one of your kids or one of these players.’ He said, ‘I’ll (expletive) slap you right now.’ I said, ‘No you won’t. You will not slap me.’”

When asked why he didn’t inform the administration that Locksley threatened to slap him, Gerald said he didn’t believe Locksley meant what he said — that they were just words. Nonetheless, after that, Gerald said his relationship with Locksley was strictly professional.

And now, he and Locksley have no relationship. Gerald said he will not return to his post at the University, even though he misses his players.

“I won’t sell my soul for a job,” he said. “I won’t subject myself for something I don’t believe in for a job. What happened in that room — those working conditions are unfit for anybody. That was Week 3 of a football season where he snapped.

In Week 3, with nine more games to go.”

can’t use them now, so I’m just going to give them to you,’” he said.

Jeantete said the bras will be cleaned and donated to an Albuquerque women’s shelter.

“A lot of the bras were in fantastic condition,” he said. “There were over a thousand bras, so the shelter will have a surplus available to their residents.”

Rasmussen said Bras Across the Bosque was one of several breast cancer fundraising events during October.

“It just kind of culminated all the events that have gone on this month,” she said. “It had all kinds

DL

What Krebs failed to mention, though, was that a coach did support Gerald’s allegation of a punch — Degory. Moreover, three coaches, including Degory, told Garbiso that Locksley choked Gerald.

According to Garbiso’s handwritten notes, Degory told her that Locksley “reached out and started choking (Gerald),” before adding that he “held Locks back as he was swinging at Gerald.”

Both Martin and Blackshear’s accounts of the incident were nearly identical. Martin told Garbiso, “All of a sudden, coach Locks was grabbing coach Gerald around the throat choking him” — Blackshear stated Locksley “grabbed (Gerald) by the shirt and started choking him.”

However, Garbiso’s notes were taken during the initial athletic inquiry, completely separate from UNM Human Resources’ official probe, said Helen Gonzales, vice president of HR. “I read her notes,” she said.

“However, I focused on what coach Gerald alleged, and he alleged that he was punched in the mouth. There was some sort of a scuffle over several seconds, and arms were flailing.”

Gerald said this conclusion falls short of the plain truth.

“That’s a way of them trying not to call it a punch,” he said.

Gonzales, who conducted the HR investigation into the incident, said her finding didn’t confirm Gerald’s allegation of a punch, nor that he was choked. All that could be verified, she said, was that Locksley grabbed Gerald by his shirt collar.

“Coach Gerald did not report being choked in the police report, so there were differences of opinion about what people saw,” she said.

“He did report being grabbed by the collar. I did verify that coach Locksley did grab coach Gerald by the collar. The questions I focused on were the allegations coach Gerald alleged with the police.”

Gonzales said she didn’t take notes during the Human Resources’ investigation. Instead, she had a lawyer present who documented everything, because she wanted to “concentrate on what was

of different facets that made it very successful and the fact that the bras were strung out in the open in a very public spot promoted breast cancer awareness to a large amount of people.”

Jeantete said breast cancer is curable if detected in its early stages.

“Breast cancer is very beatable if caught early,” he said. “If you go get screened or go to your doctor regularly, your chances of beating cancer are much more significant and people need to understand that just because you have cancer doesn’t mean it’s a death sentence anymore.

It means that you need to beat it.”

LAST WEEK’S POLL RESULTS: of 53 responses A Saudi court on Saturday convicted a female journalist for her involvement in a TV show in which a Saudi man publicly talked about sex and showed sex toys.

The journalist was sentenced to 60 lashes. Three other men who appeared on the show, “Bold Red Line,” were sentenced to two years imprisonment and 300 lashes each. Should we be culturally sensitive to these punishments?

No. The punishment was cruel and 30% unusual.

Yes. They have a different, deeply in- 26% grained value system. It is beyond our understanding to judge the Saudis.

Yes. Sex has almost always been taboo in the world’s religions, and the 26% men on the TV show knew this. They invited their own punishment by talking about sex, and it’s not our place to get concerned No. In America, we are free to discuss sex openly. We should use that power 17% to help reform how the Saudi courts handle issues of sex.

THIS WEEK’S POLL: What should UNM do to improve the advisement program?

Update the E-Progress system. That way, students won’t have to spend so much time with their advisers.

Hire more advisers, even if it means cutting back other programs.

Re-organize the advisement structure so that all students, no matter their majors, go to the same place for advice.

Advisement at UNM is fine the way it is.

Dear Dr. Peg, Does HPV affect men?

HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) is a virus that causes genital warts and cancer. It is an equal-opportunity germ: The answer to your question is yes.

There are more than 100 types of HPV. Some of the types cause warts, including genital warts. Some types cause cancer of the cervix, vagina, vulva, penis or anus. HPV is passed from one person to another through skin-to-skin contact. This usually happens during sex, especially vaginal or anal intercourse.

HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection at UNM, or anywhere for that matter. More than 6 million people in the U.S. get infected with HPV every year.

The bad news is that it is usually invisible, and condom use won’t protect you. The good news is that, most of the time, HPV infection clears up on its own.

Genital warts are rough bumps that can appear anywhere on or around the genitals

or anus. They are usually lighter than skin color and can be single or grouped. If you get warts, they can be treated. Make an appointment at Student Health and Counseling and we’ll either freeze them off or hit them with chemical warfare, depending on where they are. Once the warts are gone, the virus might still stay with you for a while, but 90 percent of the time, it goes away within two years.

During that time, if warts reappear, they can be destroyed again.

Genital cancer is harder to find and more dangerous, naturally. Cancer of the cervix in women is the most common cancer caused

by HPV and, unfortunately, it can happen in young women. That is why it is very important for women to have annual gynecological exams and Pap smears. In men, HPV has been associated with cancer of the penis. In both men and women, HPV can cause cancer of the anus.

You might have heard of the HPV vaccine.

This is the very first cancer vaccine. First approved in 2006, the HPV vaccine is now recommended as routine for girls starting at age 11. The vaccine targets four of the cancer-causing types of HPV and is sure to decrease cervical cancer rates in the future. The

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have recently approved the HPV vaccine for boys and men as well, although the vaccine didn’t quite make it to the status of routine.

This will help lower the risk of HPV transmission and of genital cancers in men. We have the HPV vaccine at SHAC. It is a series of three shots given over a six-month period. The cost is $10 per shot if you start the series before your 19th birthday. Otherwise, it’s a tad steep at $150 per dose. Fortunately, most insurance companies cover it.

If you have other questions about HPV or other STIs, visit the American Social Health Association Web site, AshaStd.org, or make a women’s or men’s health appointment at SHAC by calling (505) 277-3136.

news in brief LOS ANGELES— The search for nine people missing when a U.S. Coast Guard plane collided with a Marine Corps helicopter over the Pacific Ocean is now a recovery mission, officials said Sunday.

Petty Officer First Class Allison Conroy said there was little chance of finding survivors among the seven military personnel aboard the Coast Guard C-130 and the two in the Marine Corps AH-1W Super Cobra helicopter.

“We always hold out some hope, but at this point the Coast Guard has suspended the active search for survivors,” Conroy said.

The two aircraft collided Thursday evening as the Coast Guard was searching for a missing boater.

The Marine helicopter was flying in formation with another Cobra helicopter and two transports on a nighttime training exercise.

The Coast Guard has begun its investigation into the cause of the crash, Conroy said.

CLEVELAND—

Six

whose badly decomposed bodies were found at the home of a convicted rapist were all victims of homicide, the coroner’s office said Sunday.

At least five of the women apparently had been strangled, said Powell Caesar, a spokesman for the Cuyahoga County coroner. Decomposition made it difficult to determine how the sixth died, he said.

The bodies “could have been there anywhere from weeks to months to years,” Caesar said.

None of the victims has been identified, Caesar said. Two were black, but the race of the others hadn’t been determined, he said.

Anthony Sowell, a 50-year-old registered sex offender, was arrested Saturday when officers spotted him walking down the street of his east-side neighborhood. Court records and jail officials had no information about whether he had an attorney. No charges have been filed regarding the bodies.

WASHINGTON— Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner acknowledges the federal budget deficit is too high, but that the priorities now are economic growth and job creation.

Asked repeatedly on NBC’s “Meet the Press” whether this means taxes will rise, Geithner avoided giving specifics. He did say President Barack Obama is committed to dealing with deficit in a way that will not add to the tax burden of people making less than $250,000 a year.

The White House has not decided how to reduce the red ink, Geithner said in an interview broadcast Sunday.

“Right now we’re focused on getting growth back on track,” he said. “And we’re not at the point yet where we have to decide exactly what it’s going to take.”

He acknowledged that the economic recovery, while showing positive movement, has been shaky and uneven.

Life from page 1 life begins.

“How you make a conceptual definition of an act is important in ethics,” he said. “Some would want to simply call it murder, and others would want to say it’s the terminating of an unwanted pregnancy.”

Yates said the difference in these definitions depends on when one believes life begins. He said the Roman Catholic Church believes a soul enters a fetus at the moment of conception, but he believes life develops more gradually.

“Emerging life, for me, is a better definition of what happens from conception to birth,” he said.

McInteer disagreed. He said a mother should care about her child’s life even before he or she is born.

“If a woman has an abortion, she’ll never get to see her child graduate from high school or from college or get married,” he said. “It’s so fundamentally, morally wrong. As a person, I just can’t possibly agree with someone who says abortion should be legal.”

Yates said that many religious groups say abortion is murder, but

not all of these are against abortion in all cases.

“Reform Judaism and mainline Protestantism are, I think, pretty much on the same page for this,” he said. “But conservative Christians and the Roman Catholic tradition certainly would not buy my position at all.”

Lovato said many abortionrights organizations have become less active since President Obama was elected.

“Something kind of happened after the election, where things just kind of fell apart,” she said. “I think everyone kind of feels the issues are taken care of right now, because we have a Democratic president, basically.”

Jill Oldewage, of Medical Students for Choice, said the group has done a faith and choice lecture once before, and they plan to have more events next semester. She said discussion about reproductive freedom is the best way to find common ground on the emotional issue.

“I think the whole point of our group is to encourage tolerance and

empathy when some people have none. Why is there such a big difference? So with the study if we can see an agent going around and killing other agents with no behavioral remorse, then we can look and see how we programmed that brain differently. Maybe that will give us some insights into why people become psychopaths in terms of the brain. ~Tricia Remark

from page 2

“Shape your undergraduate experiences around what you’re interested in.”

The diversity of Harvard Law has been historically well-proportioned.

In 2009, the entering freshmen class was from 19 foreign countries and 44 states, including New Mexico, according to a pamphlet provided at the event, and around three percent of all students enrolled this past fall came from the Mountain West region.

Vanessa Strobbe, former opinion editor at the Daily Lobo, graduated last year and attends Harvard Law. During his hour-long talk to students on Friday, Rubenstein also advocated getting a law degree in the weak economy. He said a law degree is versatile.

Rubenstein cited a number of high ranking alumni — including President Barack Obama — who graduated from Harvard Law after

working as a Chicago community organizer. Five of the current Supreme Court justices attended Harvard Law, he said.

Ashley Mackenzie, president of the fraternity, said speeches like Rubenstein’s help pre-law students strengthen their resumes and applications before applying.

“We want to help the pre-law community add new things to their application for law school — anything we can do to help prepare them for law school,” she said.

Mackenzie said the fraternity is trying to establish a community of students who have law school in mind after they graduate.

In addition to bringing speakers to campus, the chapter also organizes free practice LSAT exams, giving pre-law students tips to improve their application with extra-curricular activities and strong test scores, Mackenzie said.

understanding,” she said. “I’m not necessarily trying to change anyone’s views. I just want people to have all the information they can to make the best decisions and to give patients the best care they can possibly have.”

Yates said that abortion is not a good thing, but he still supports a woman’s right to make reproductive decisions for herself. He said women should not be forced to give birth to an unwanted child.

“The people who share my position are not saying they are proabortion,” he said. “What they’re saying is it may be a tragic necessity, and the word ‘unwanted’ says it all.”

Seniors look to MWC after 12 season wins

by Eddie Zayas Daily Lobo

It wasn’t “Fright Night” for the UNM women’s soccer team when UNM 2 they played UNLV UNLV 0 on Halloween.

UNM, never scared, pulled a 2–0 win The Lobos were led by seniors Jess Quador, Veronika Strnadova, Megan Bodenheimer and Katie McKernan. All were playing their final home games in cherry and silver. They made sure the game wasn’t close.

“They’re outstanding,” said head coach Kit Vela. “Megan didn’t get to play a minute, because of a careerending surgery, but she was a huge leader from the sidelines. All four of them did a great job here.”

Including this game, the team has

12 season wins, surpassing last year’s total by four.

Quador, team captain, said she had mixed emotions after her final game.

“It’s sad that it’s the last game here, but I’m happy I got to play here the last few years,” Quador said. “I’m glad we won. It’s like the girls sent me off on a good note. I’m going to miss all the girls — the sisterhood I had with them. They were my family in New Mexico, since I’m from Colorado. I’m just going to miss the relationships I built over the years.”

But it turned out well for the Lobos.

The team was able to snap out of its recent funk on offense, Vela said.

After an evenly matched first half, the Lobos came out of halftime ready to make a statement.

Player: You never stop playing rugby

by Ryan Tomari Daily Lobo

In the gloomiest of days for the football team, Lobo fans might look to the bright sun rising on the UNM Rugby team.

On Saturday, the Lobo ruggers beat No. 10 Colorado State Rams, 3828 at Johnson Field.

Usually, about 100 fans show up to watch the rugby team play against a ranked opponent, said third-year member Drew Riordan.

The low turnout doesn’t seem to bother him, though.

It’s about playing rugby for the love of it — not for the glitz and glamour that goes with competing in marquee sports like baseball, basketball

and football, Riordan said.

“I would rather play rugby than football,” Riordan said. “Anybody who has played rugby knows that when you play your first game of rugby, you don’t stop playing rugby... I love football, too, but you can only go so far in football.”

Riordan, who is 5 feet 6 inches and 185 pounds, plays the hooker position on the UNM Rugby team. He said he loves the physicality of the game.

“I (love) the tackling,” he said.

“It’s a tough man’s sport. I mean, you don’t have pads or anything. So, if you’re tough and you like to hit people, it’s the perfect sport for you. Plus, if you’re a big guy you get the ball.”

To Riordan, American football is a flashy sport, whereas rugby is more of

Nov. 21 Johnson Field a team sport, he said.

“The team, it’s almost like a family, and that’s what I like about it the most,” he said. “Everybody gets to know everybody a lot better, and you get a lot closer with your teammates.”

Josh Aranda has played for the UNM Rugby team for four years.

However, the fifth-year senior’s season came to a halt two weeks ago

see Rugby page 8

Season

from page 6

“First half, we came out a little tentative on the ball, and we didn’t pressure as much as we normally do,” Quador said. “The second half we just knew we were better than them and just had to put the ball in the back of the net.”

The team was able to capitalize early against the Rebels’ defense coming out of the half, and junior forward Rachel Fields scored the first goal.

“They had fast girls in the back, but I think we broke them down easily today,” Fields said. “We talked about it at halftime that I needed to make that run inside. I just had the right run and (Jael Fanning) gave me a perfect ball, and it was a great goal.”

Fanning had both assists of the game.

Quador said the Lobos didn’t want to let UNLV get momentum.

“We handled (UNLV) pretty well,” she said. “We knew they were going to

come out really hard, because if they won they would have gone through to the tournament. We really wanted the win.”

Fields said the seniors brought the team together as the season progressed.

“They’re really good leaders and people,” she said. “I’m going to miss (Quador) being around. She was such a good leader for all of us on and off the field. Veronika works so hard every day. Same with Megan and Katie, so it’s going to be tough, but they had a great couple of years.”

The Lobos will still need that leadership, because tougher competition awaits UNM in the Mountain West Conference Tournament, which starts on Wednesday in Provo, Utah.

“Everyone’s good in the tournament,” Vela said. “Everyone’s good in our conference, and we have to play someone we’ve already played.”

Inches from a win, but still a miss vs. SDSU

by Mario Trujillo Daily Lobo

The UNM football team put up 20 points against San Diego State, the second highest output for the Lobos this season.

And to think, SDSU 23 it was on former head coach Rocky UNM 20 Long, now San Diego State defensive coordinator.

But the Lobos still came in four points short of a win.

The Lobos’ 23-20 loss to the Aztecs puts UNM at 0-8 overall and 0-4 in the Mountain West Conference.

“It has been pretty consistent of why we are not winning,” said head coach Mike Locksley. “Winning is a by-product of preparation and executing the plan. Most of the time, the biggest thing that is really missing is the confidence.”

With 2:04 left in the game, the Lobos were down three points and took over on their own 15-yard line.

The Lobos looked to erase the memory of their last fourth-quarter, twominute drill with the game on the line.

Against New Mexico State earlier in the season, the Lobo offensive operated efficiently to get Lobo kicker James Aho into field goal range with seconds left in the game. But he failed

San Diego State won Saturday’s game 23-20. to convert.

Unfortunately, Aho didn’t even get a chance to miss the field goal on Saturday. After a promising start to the hurry-up offense that pushed the Lobos 35 yards to midfield, UNM was flagged for a personal foul, pushing the Lobos back 15 yards.

That spelled the end of the night for UNM. Locksley said the Lobos’ two-minute offense worked well against other opponents.

“I was very confident,” Locksley said. “Unfortunately we gave up a 14yard penalty and take a sack. Those types of things just kill us. If you watch us operate our two-minute drill — that is one of the brightest parts of the team. When we get in the two-minute mode, for whatever reason, we tend to become a different team.”

On paper, the Lobos made good on the statistical categories that have plagued them throughout the season — third down conversions, time of possession, and first and third quarter points. They improved everywhere except in the win column.

The Lobos have lost the time of possession battle by an average of eight minutes per game. They held the ball seven minutes more than the Aztecs on Saturday. The only other time UNM dominated that statistic by a significant margin was at Texas Tech.

Up to Saturday’s game, the Lobos converted 24 percent of their third downs. That number shot up to 45 percent (9-of-20) against SDSU. In the past, the Lobos struggled

when he broke his collarbone. He is finished for the season.

Aranda said, because rugby isn’t popular in the United States, the sport appeals to everyone.

coming out of the locker room in the first and third quarters. Before Saturday’s game, UNM scored only 30 of their 104 points in the first and third quarter. But they put up 13 against the Aztecs in the first and third, 10 of those coming in third quarter.

The Lobos were most productive in that quarter. Midway through the third, Aho booted three points through the uprights after a 62-yard drive that ate up five minutes on the clock.

One possession later, the Lobos marched the ball 75 yards into the end zone off a 5-yard pass from quarterback Donovan Porterie to wide receiver Daryl Jones, giving UNM a 2016 lead in the third quarter.

But the Aztecs won the offensive battle in the second and fourth quarter, and that proved to be enough.

The Aztecs put up 16 of their 23 points in the second quarter, including a safety off a botched Lobo punt in the end zone.

The final dagger through the Lobos’ hearts, however, came on wide receiver DeMarco Sampson’s 4-yard touchdown catch midway through the fourth, giving the Aztecs a 23-20 lead.

“Winning just doesn’t happen,” Locksley said. “Players tend to think or hope that the other team makes the mistake to give them the win. Winning isn’t typically something that is given to you. You have to take it. You have to make the play. … Losing definitely doesn’t teach you how to win.

But there is also a process to winning which we have to learn.”

game,” he said.

UNM Rugby team members don’t receive scholarships, because it is a club sport and not part of the NCAA, Riordan said.

“The difference between the NCAA teams and the club rugby teams, is the colleges that are NCAA sanctioned, they can only play so many games a year,” he said. “But as a club team, we can play as many matches as we can.”

said senior swimmer Bridget O’Hara.

“Other UNM teams came out and supported us, and it’s always nice to swim in front of friends and family.”

Ljone said many of the renovations were aimed at making Seidler more fan-friendly.

“We put in a new scoreboard,” she said. “We changed the set up a little bit. There’s also additional bleachers

to accommodate more fans. It’s just an all-around better place.”

Sanchez said there’s more excitement in the team this year.

“The girls are responding well,” he said. “When you’re at home, you’re pumped up and you want to do well.

And I can see a new attitude and dedication in a commitment to giving 100 percent.”

Young team’s talent found in pitching

by Ryan Tomari Daily Lobo

Don’t ask head baseball coach Ray Birmingham about his UNM baseball program.

“It’s not my program,” he said.

“It’s our program.”

Birmingham is entering his third year as the Lobos commander in chief, and at the team’s annual preseason media day Friday, Birmingham said his expectations are high, and the team will continue to have the success it’s enjoyed in the past two years.

And that ascent to the top begins on Tuesday, when the Lobos will square off in a five-game intrasquad series. The Cherry-Silver Series splits up the 35-man Lobo roster and will determine the roster for the 2010 season.

“Cherry and Silver — (it’s about) getting after it,” Birmingham said. “We have 42 guys right now, and so there are seven on the bubble. This is the chance for them to move up and make sure they make the squad. It’s highly competitive, but it’s always been competitive.”

And to Birmingham, competition breeds better athletes. In the long run, Birmingham said, to be the best, you have to beat the best.

The Lobos’ schedule, too, reflects that line of reasoning. UNM opens the 2010 season Feb. 19 at Texas.

The Longhorns are the national runner-up after a three-game two-step with the eventual NCAA champions — the Louisiana State Tigers.

“We open with Texas, and that’s by design,” Birmingham said.

“We’re negotiating with North Carolina right now to open with them the next year. We’re putting Oklahoma, USC and Arizona (on our schedule). We’re putting those people on our schedule, because we plan on being where I said we have always planned on being. We’re going to get to Omaha

someway or another.”

But though the 2010 Lobos have plenty of promise, they will be the most youthful group under Birmingham.

“We have more potential on this team than we ever had since I have been here,” he said. “I think probably in the pitching depth, it’s as good as it’s ever been.”

Senior center fielder Max Willet said the team has leadership because of the system Birmingham’s put in place.

“You get comfortable with the guys you are out there with,” he said. “And the more comfortable you are with the actual guys — you kind of know where the range is, what they like to do and where they like to play the ball.”

Although the Lobos lost four .400-plus hitters from the 2009 season, making up for their loss of offense in the upcoming season won’t be difficult, Birmingham said.

“Our offense is never going to be lacking and we’re always going to be an offensive club,” he said.

“But good pitching stops good hitting. That’s the way baseball has been for the last 200 years, so we got to pitch. I think the makeup of this club is going to be pitching depth.”

And the pitching is going to have to help continue to get the Lobos national recognition, as well as promote the Mountain West Conference as a baseball league.

But to earn a national reputation, UNM will have to get over one conference speed bump: Texas Christian University. The Lobos have run into the Horned Frogs the last two years in MWC baseball tournament — and lost both times.

“The door to the top is through TCU,” Birmingham said. “TCU is as good a baseball team as there is in the country. They clobbered Cal-State Fullerton last year early in the season, and they clobbered Mississippi who was a nationally ranked team.”

Plunging into great depths The Independent Voice of UNM since 1895

Sports editor / Isaac Avilucea

sports@dailylobo.com / Ext. 131

After spending two years practicing in makeshift locations, the Lobo swimming and diving team is in their element once again at the renovated pool.

by Brandon Call Daily Lobo

The Armond H. Seidler Natatorium might seem like just another building on UNM’s campus.

But to the Lobo swimming and diving team, it’s a place to call home.

After two years of practicing at West Mesa High School and other pools in Albuquerque while Seidler was renovated, the Lobos returned to their campus pool and blasted Northern Colorado out of the water 244-180 on Thursday.

“You always feel more comfortable and confident at home,” said senior diver Sasha Evangulova. “After everything last year, we don’t take anything for granted. We’re all glad to have somewhere to call home again.”

Head coach Tracy Ljone said the homecoming — and Thursday’s win — were much-anticipated.

“It’s always nice to win at home,” she said. “To finally be back in Seidler, in front of our fans, is great.”

Not having a pool the past two seasons took a toll on the team, Ljone said.

The Lobos endured traveling to other facilities to share a pool with

high school and private teams.

Diving coach Abel Sanchez said finding time for practices was a monumental task.

“Last year was really tough on us,” he said. “We had to do some pretty creative things to schedule pool time.”

Seidler Natatorium closed in November 2007 for remodeling. The Olympic-size pool was scheduled to reopen in December 2008 in time for the end of the swimming and diving season, but the opening date was postponed because of a problem with the draining system.

Finally, in August, the Lobos began practicing in Seidler again.

“Our morale is better this year,” Sanchez said. “When we come in to practice, everyone is there to get it done and improve. We don’t hear as much complaining because everyone remembers what it was like last year.”

And fans are responding to the natatorium’s new look, too. On Thursday, approximately 150 fans showed up to cheer the Lobos on “To see that many people supporting us was really encouraging,”
