SPORTS SPEAK UP!

THE PLAYERS on the Isotopes are only a phone call away from being called up to the Major Leagues but they are going to wear a uniform with the lettering “Albuquerque Green Chile Cheeseburgers” (to put more money in the pockets of Isotopes officials.) This stunt still can’t beat that of Charles O. Finley, the former owner of the Kansas City A’s, who for a brief period of time had relief pitchers ride a mule named Charlie-O from the bullpen to the pitcher’s mound during games. — Forever a Duke

MUCH RESPECT to Coach Pineda and the La Cueva Bears baseball team, but what the Cleveland Storm baseball team is doing this year with the toughest district and schedule in the state doesn’t even compare! — pump-the-brakes!

AS A HUGE college football fan, I’m so looking forward to Sept. 2nd: LSU-byu (Geaux Tigers!) and Florida State-bama (Go ‘Noles). And the Lobos “scrimmage” Abilene Christian. — MHD

TOTALLY AGREE with Steve Suiter, that Krebs is the problem at UNM, athletic department. He is the one that should be fired. I read somewhere that he is the highest paid AD in the conference. — MEM

JEFF SIEMBIEDA now that you met with your bowl peers maybe you can put together a better bowl game. UNM getting an unfair home field advantage against a mediocre 6-6 team is getting old. I would rather see two deserving teams playing on a neutral field. I also think if a team deserves a bowl game they earn the right to travel somewhere not wake up in there same beds just to sell more tickets and guarantee the home team a win. This is why I believe your bowl game is referred to as the insignificant bowl. — Paul Martinez
