LOBO WOMEN: Contrary to the line score in the paper, the girls have now had two technicals. So, Mike, as the girls call you, there’s a problem with attitude for several. The seasons early, why not make the adjustments now. We should be better. — Maggie Ann

I’VE NEVER BEFORE submitted to this column but after seeing President Stokes’ selfie from the women’s basketball game the very day of the sudden death of UNM football player Nahje Flowers, I feel compelled to “speak up.” For shame. — Jenn D. Martinez
PERHAPS ALL THOSE fans who have been staying away from Dreamstyle Stadium can drop whatever personal problem(s) they have with UNM and get to the Air Force game to honor Nahje Flowers and the Lobo Football team. They have suffered a devastating loss and need fans more than ever. Please get to the game. If your team ever needed you, it is NOW! Go Lobos! RIP Nahje. — Rudy the Attorney

How someone who shoots that bad can play that many minutes is beyond words. — Also a fan
SO BAMA FANS cheered for Trump and lost while Nationals fans booed trump and chanted lock him up. The Nationals went on to win the World Series. Talk about Karma! — NM native
