Crickets ...

May 22, 2007

I'm working on some non-UNM football and women's basketball news this week because this is the down time for the Lobos.

A lot of coaches are taking advantage of the tiny window between graduation and the start of summer school next week and taking a break. So not much to report on hoops and football, other than both programs are gearing up for the big summer camps on the horizon next month.

I'm excited about the NBA playoffs because I'm a huge Spurs fan. Love the Spurs, love Tim Duncan, love Manu Ginobili, love Tony Parker, love Bruce Bowen and love all the rest of the Spurs. The series with the Suns was great, and I suspect the rest of the playoffs won't have quite the same drama. But my co-worker and the Trib's sports copy chief Phil Parker is a die-hard Utah Jazz fan who firmly believes I am wrong. He's going to be disappointed ... again. Such is the life of a Jazz fan.

I know you are addicted to all things Lobos, and I will be doing my best in the next few months to feed that addiction. But, I'm curious what sports you follow during the off-season. Is this the time you get off the couch and get into recreational sports? Do follow MLB or the Isotopes? Are you plotting your fantasy football draft? Or do you just pout until I write more stories about the Lobos? I'm curious because it can help me decide what stories to chase this summer.

Iliana,

I had no idea you are a Spurs fan. I moved to San Antonio from Albuquerque ten years ago and the Spurs have replaced the Lakers as my favorite NBA team. They are a class orginization from top to bottom. Here's to number 4!

I'm also a huge Spurs fan. I typically follow sports through the NHL and NBA playoffs, then take the rest of the summer off. During the summer I get into recreational sports like basketball and Ultimate frisbee. I start to follow sports again with the first NFL preseason games, then the start of UNM Fall Camps. I am not a baseball fan.

Labor day is past, with many dark and cheerless months remaining until the Lobo Women's basketball team once more takes the court. Like a third of a roast gopher, the WNBA only arouses the appetite without bedding it back down. Couldn't Flanagan at least set up projection screens in the Pit and allow those of us with no life to come and watch re-runs? How are we to get through this? Why can't they just play year-round? Bet they'll be good by the time the conference starts in...
