SPORTS SPEAK UP!

THE SEAHAWKS’ pass call from the one-yard line may be sport’s biggest blunder, far surpassing Bill Buckner’s World Series error. Physical mistakes can be forgiven.

IS IT TRUE that there were two golf commentators hung themselves with their microphone cords at the Phoenix Open after Tiger’s Friday round of 82? —R. D.H.

HARD TO FATHOM why Easton Bruere (Rio Rancho QB) with his many accomplishments (Undefeated State Champions, NM all-time passing leader), physical attributes (6’3” and 200 lbs.) and football mentality (49 TD’s to just 6 pics this season) hasn’t received a D-1 offer. NM QB’s can make it (Jim Everett, Purdue- Rams… Landry Jones, Oklahoma-Steelers). Mark my words… shunning Bruere is going to make him even mentally tougher and he is going to make many a team wish they would have offered him a ride. — ttrujillo

THANKS TO Geoff Grammer and Ed Johnson, for your basketball articles. I find them informative and interesting. We are fortunate to have you guys here in NM. — RM

ENJOYED THE comment by “NM bred” re: coaches Tasker and Richardson.... as a sports “play-byplay” broadcaster in Clovis, NM 1958-1964 and again for a couple of years in the very early 1970’s I fondly remember the great basketball rivalry between the “Wildcats” & “Eagles.” I believe the sportsmanship was always at a high level and specifically remember the hometown Clovis fans welcoming, applauding the (early ’60’s) visiting “Eagles” team prior to tip-off. The fans were noteworthy particularly in welcoming the outstanding Hobbs Eagle.. .last name: Clay, seems he truly enjoyed the game, always had a smile, and like all his team-mates truly competed. — Ben (Abq, NM)
