New Mexico Lobos

The memory of a small boy crying is still the one.

I began my career at The Tribune writing obituaries, a tough assignment for any cub reporter.

Sports Editor Mike Garcia's lists of five favorites from almost 20 years at The Tribune.

To put the beauty, the totality, of the Lobos 81-52 romp over Louisiana Tech into perspective, you first have to understand something about La-Tech. This is a wall-to-wall talented team. Unfortunately for the Bulldogs, they just ran into a wall-to-wall talented Lobos team Saturday night in The Pit that also stresses some of those fundamental, Steve-Alford-type things like defense, rebounding, and unselfish team play. The dissection of La-Tech was a second-half exhibition in how little things can add up to a big victory, especially when those little things are coming out of extremely talented bodies.

New Mexico's James Aho trotted out onto University Stadium with 15 seconds hovering between the Lobos and the possibility of a winless season and Aho casually told his holder, Adam Miller: "It's going in for you, Adam." And then the Colorado State Rams tried to ice the Lobo kicker with a timeout and maybe remind the sophomore that the space in the middle was guarded by two posts - posts Aho had hit four times a week earlier in a loss to BYU. The "icing" didn't work and Aho blasted a 27-yarder through and the Lobos finally got to celebrate a victory in 2009. "It hasn't been happy like this in here for quite a while and after so many losses, you almost forget what it feels like," said Lobo senior Frankie Baca.
