SPORTS SPEAK UP!

I DECIDED to boycott watching the High School Football All-American Bowl this past weekend because no deserving New Mexico kids were on either roster. — JRM-Corrales

UPON FURTHER review, they got it right selecting OU’s Kyler Murray and not Tua for the Heisman! — JC, SoCal

CREDIT WHERE credit is due. Couch Coaches writing in to sports speak up knew long ago what changes were needed to turnaround Lobo basketball. — MarkSD

SO THE Lobos can now be called Syracuse on the Rio Grande. Zone press and not quite orange unis, looked good, played great. We need a whole lot more of all of it! Thanks Coach Weir and Go Lobos!! — GB

AFTER TRYING to watch an NFL game this weekend, I’ve concluded that games need way more commercial­s. I propose they have a commercial after every play! And, to make your viewing pleasure even more enjoyable, have the players wear logos of advertiser­s on their jerseys and pants so they resemble NASCAR drivers! And the worst part is the poor NFL players today are way, way underpaid. The NFL - quite a joke. — Just a Guy on the Westside

GREAT RESULT Lobos and Coaches! Results like a Nevada win come from endless dedication. Last summer found senior shooting guard Anthony Mathis in the Davalos Practice Facility every day, with a ball in each hand, dribbling from one end of the floor to the other, in order to improve his dribbling skills, in anticipati­on of a potential shift to point guard this season. Associate Head Coach Chris Harriman was there with him, giving guidance, support and instructio­n. Our fan base needs to know that Coach Weir and our team’s work goes on all year long. — Proud Supporter and Fanatic
