SPORTS SPEAK UP!

HEY ALAN!! Thanks for coming home to your alma mater and being a positive role model for our youth. Not only are you a super bowl champion, you are also a champion at life.

LUCKY “THE PIT” doesn’t need to apply for a New Mexico Real I D card. With all the name changes, it would never be able to come up with all the necessary documents to prove its real identity. “The Pit” !!!

WHY DOES Paul Krebs continually steer money to Learfield Communications??? There is something fishy and suspicious about that!

— Burt, Lifetime Lobo

NAMING RIGHTS or high price rent of two high profile properties?

— MarkSD

THE RENAMING of The Pit, again, to Dreamstyle Arena, a terribly awful name for a sports venue,it is just so dreamy, should teach us all one thing: there is nothing in New Mexico that is not for sale to the highest bidder. Careful Albuquerque, lest someone rename our city for ten million dollars.

THE PROBLEMS for Paul Krebs began almost a decade ago in 2008 with his firing of Mike Roberts, the “mutual termination” of Rocky Long and the subsequent disastrous hiring of Mike Locksley. Krebs has known how to play the “survive and advance” game during his approximate 11 year tenure at UNM. Just take the heat for a while, let it pass and on we go. The timing of the naming rights announcement the morning after the report about the Scotland golf trip is brilliant. Survive and advance.

— ABQ Linkster

IF YOUR JOB description includes fund raising and the purpose of the golf trip was to cultivate athletic donations and connect with donors, whats the problem? It would be entirely different if mr. Krebs had taken a vacation on unms dime with no connection to his job.

I RECENTLY wandered through O’Hare airport in Chicago during my visit to NC and I noticed a curious thing. I saw kiosks selling Bears gear natch. What I didn’t see was any Green Bay gear. That made no sense to me because Green Bay has owned Chicago for a while now. Wonder if the same curious phenomenon is present in Dallas. Gotta face facts people.
