GOV. MICHELLE LUJAN GRISHAM

hasn’t done well with her research as she made a commitment to return UNM men’s soccer if she was elected. However, she didn’t take into account UNM’s athletic department budget restrictio­ns and requiremen­t for Title IX compliance. Now, regarding UNM football, she is again naive as UNM has Mountain West Conference commitment­s, contractua­l obligation­s and television revenue involved. Bitterness? At her last press conference she (referred) to “our beloved United” and is giving New Mexico United preferenti­al treatment with the quarantine restrictio­ns, while on her way to destroying her alma mater’s athletic department.

CONGRATULA­TIONS

to Makuach Makuach for being named to NABC Honors Court! Very refreshing to see athletes nominated for academic awards. Just one more reason to love this guy — one of my all time favorite Lobos!

IT’S NOT WHETHER

you win or lose, but how you play the game. Coach Ron Garcia’s teams played with intense competitiv­eness, good sportsmans­hip and good coaching. Thanks Coach, for all you gave the boys, the community and the game of basketball.
