AS A PLAYER on the 2016 conference champion Lobos baseball team, I congratula­te our state, our city and UNM on the new clubhouse and locker room building. Thank you to the private donors who made this possible. In my college baseball career, I played at many facilities from San Francisco over to New Orleans, and the new Hubbard clubhouse ranks up there with the best. Go Lobos! — Michael Eaton

TO THE PIT’S PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM: You are ridiculous­ly loud; your selection in music is horrible and no one can understand a word you scream. — Sore and sour ears, Hansel

IT APPEARS Coach (Neal) has figured out how to motivate some … at times I witnessed spacing, crisp passing, and teamwork associated with scoring. The defense, while not perfect, definitely had more effort. If I were an opponent, I would attack with full court pressure, as that still needs work. Our inbounds plays are, well, frustratin­g to watch. SDSU coming up. I can’t think of a better place or time to GO GET ONE! — Mike M., Abq

I ASKED THAT Mo , Fred and Troy provide us a list of NM D-1 football recruits but as I expected they provided nothing. C’mon guys , step up. … our state only produces a half dozen or less D-1 talents a year. — Fran

MY NMSU AGGIES are just as bad as Bob Davie when it comes to recruiting deserving NM kids. I agree with those that say the one-third of the scholarshi­p players on the D-1 schools in NM should be from NM. That is why Aggie Memorial is just as empty as University Stadium I think, but one advantage we have is that our Texas Aggies are better than the Texas Lobos 32-31. Scoreboard! — Fred Y

WHEN DID A New Mexico school get to the Sweet 16 in NCAA basketball? When did a New Mexico school win a national title in football? — Larry the VOL
