SPORTS SPEAK UP!

THE ONE cluster flub I’ll always remember Paul Krebs for is shrinking Pit seating capacity from over 18,000 to 15,411. Severely damaged the atmosphere and venue. No wonder we dropped out of the top 25 in attendance. $60 million could have certainly garnered a better design. Mystifying how UNM Athletics seemed to have coined the phrase “We are New Mexico” while tossing our Native Americans out of the Pit for the Gathering of the Nations. Looking forward to the Winds of Change and Go Lobos! — TTrujillo I CERTAINLY HOPE the ABQ community will give Janice Ruggerio the respect that she deserves. She has earned her

appointment as interim AD at UNM by her years of experience. The students and coaches respect her she deserves the respect of fans, too. — MLL, Lobo fan

NOT ONLY DOES Paul Krebs have every aspiring politician in New Mexico looking at him, there are 37 federal agencies, a senate sub-committee, 171 private eyes and Maxine Waters’ private chauffeur investigating his use of Russian Dressing while in Scotland. Many feel that was a secret code from Putin influencing the election. The link between Krebs and President Trump has not been fully established. — RDH

THIS IS THE perfect opportunity for UNM to clean house! Acting UNM President Abdallah should have suspended Krebs immediately after misuse of Lobo Club funds was reported by the Journal. Removing Krebs from UNM would have allowed UNM employees to relax in the workplace and speak freely if needed without the threat of intimidation from anyone. I’m wondering when Abdallah first learned of the incident and why he did nothing but comment softly to the press. Once again the UNM athletic department has to live with another disgraceful incident and it’s not going away! — DS, Los Lunas

THANK YOU to Tim Keller and Hector Balderas for investigating the Paul Krebs fiefdom, aka the UNM Athletic Department. From the beginning, Paul Krebs’ middle name was “Big Money.” — Burt, UNM Alum and lifelong Lobo

AMONG THE front runners for the year’s most unintentionally funny headline: “Chef Flay buys part of Belmont horse.” — Jack Bowers, Albuquerque

JUST FINISHED watching the USA women defeat Sweden 1-0 in a soccer friendly. Looks to me like Sweden plays to compete when nothing is on the line, and when championships are on the line, play---yes, like cowards. — Allan, soccer fan
