A question, but if Brey plans to tell the team after practice, why are you breaking the story and screwing up him telling his team? They should learn this from him, not the media, or am I wrong?
You couldn’t wait until the end of practice? Also poor form on whomever told you.
Anytime in the future when I refer to our players as kids and someone argues with me, I’m just going to show them this video. Happy Thanksgiving

Things I’ve learned so far in 2019...Carol Burnett was apparently the inspiration for the

Dear NCAA…NMSU won their first NCAA Tournament game in 52 years … you can use a pic of their guy. I get it…UNM has won a lot more tourney games over the years, but today is NMSU’s day. You should use Teddy Buckets. He was pretty good today.

I want to publicly thank
@LoboInsider
and the

folks for getting me the NBC Nightly News contact info right away to get tonight’s
#UNMSU
issue resolved. Most times it’s humorous…tonight it was not, and neither Jaelen or Javonte deserved that
#GoLobos
I always liked this picture of Austin, because it has it everything. Respect from the coach he is interviewing and he wheeled himself through the turf to get the interview, which couldn’t be easy. I can only wish to have the kind of impact on a community he did.
The
@UNMLoboFB
account had more retweets and replies today than the entire month of December, and we aren’t far off from surpassing November! Lots of excitement for this program! H/T to Stanley Frazier and Zac in marketing for the great teamwork today!
#GoLobos
Can I brag on these guys?
1️⃣Coach has a “serious medical incident” in front of them after game 1
2️⃣Team suffers 9 straight losses
3️⃣Death of a teammate in Nov.
4️⃣Coaching change
This entire state should be damn proud. Unreal job by this team.
#GoLobos
OK, just got off the phone with Jake Gellerman of NBC Sports in New York. Suffice to say, he understands how annoyed we are at this, and how it is not right to contiually do this (specifically for Jaelen and Javonte).
Now it's
@NBCSports
posting today an AP version of the story on the New Mexico State University basketball program being shut down and still running a photo of UNM Lobo Jaelen House. (Hey,
@fmmercogliano
, I guess your talk with
@NBCNews
didn't get relayed to NBC Sports).
#UNMSU
This is what happens when you have an amazing administration, from President to A.D. to Deputy. That's how you get one of the best minds in football to lead your program.
@PresidentStokes

Those of you who follow New Mexico basketball may have noticed I haven’t been playing or anyone who knows me may have noticed I have been so distant from everyone and there is a good reason for that.
I have struggled with depression off and on since high school. I was diagnosed

I just don't know what to say. We just played them Sunday, and he was perfectly fine.
May we all be as kind, gentle and loving as that man. I know he has missed his folks dearly. I hope he gets a great big hug from them.
An absolute legend is lost ... irreplacable.
We are saddened to share that longtime sports information director Lawrence Fan has passed away at the age of 67.
More information will come soon on the celebration and recognition of Lawrence's life.

One would think if 3,400 some-odd student-athletes are in favor of this as are 86% of Division I teams and coaches there would be more than 99 likes on it.
Also UNC's SID didn't tweet this out because he was at a 14-inning baseball game.
HE WAS AT BASEBALL!!!!
@CoSIDAnews
And I know he’d deflect this, but kudos to
@LoboCoachPitino
for putting Braden’s health first. Not every coach would go to the lengths to help a kid like this. It’s why I love working at this place…the people.

Good news!!! I have made actual contact with a person (Liza Pluto) at MSNBC, and she is going to make sure that this is corrected for any future airings, and if anything is posted online, that it doesn't have UNM footage.
That was exhausting, and I'm exhausted from this.

It’s official, but we are homeowners!!!! We can’t thank Debbie Baker & Tami Rodgers enough for finding us a wonderful home!

Entering this season
@mathis290
had 18 career 3s in 35 games, and just 6 last year in 10. Tonight’s game-winner was his 52nd of the season in just 20 games. Of all the guys, that’s the dude I’m happiest for. Glad he stayed.
#GoLobos
#BelieveOrLeave
In a sign of the apocalypse, yes, a fan came up to
@GeoffGrammer
and asked for his autograph. I witnessed it. It helped the kid’s last name is “Taco”.
Also consistently saying we are on the wrong side of the Bubble when EVERY BRACKET HAS US IN BUT JERRY PALM is silly. I know he works there but we are and 8-9 seed across the board. I mean that was weird, right?
I waited until today so more would see this but Mike Bradbury didn’t get voted coach of the year? Really? Anyone else play the entire season on the road and win the league title? No one? Just UNM? Yeah...That makes sense.
#GoLobos
I have dealt with crisis after crisis at UNM, but to be the media coordinator for the NCAA Track Championships and have all the teams here and all this happen, it's one of the sadder moments in my professional life. I know there are bigger things at play, but it's tough.
I have seen a lot of stuff today about “can I donate to this program” or to “that program”. I’ll say it again, if you love soccer, or skiing or any smaller sport at UNM, buy basketball or football tickets. That money goes to all programs. That’s the best way to help.
#GoLobos
It pays to surround yourself with good people. The

Curling appreciation tweet.
@Devin_Heroux
is the preeminent curling reporter. He’s the reporter we want and the reporter we need.
Seriously...thanks Dev!
I hope in 2018 we can all show a little more value for life, a little more compassion, a little more humor, a little more common sense, and a little more love and respect for each other. Here’s to a great new year. It’s all on us.
I want to personally thank the ABQ media, New Mexico media and those around the Mountain West that helped tell Teton’s story. I used much of it in his nomination, and your words helped make a difference!
Thank you all.
#GoLobos
Holy crap that is a fun way to watch basketball...35 threes for UNM in two games...took NINE games to do that last year. Back-to-back C-Notes for first time since 1998. Fans are missing out.

After waiting 16 years, I finally got to curl tonight. I loved every minute of it and

As the
@UNMLoboFB
SID, this is technically incorrect. Sarah would be the first female to play FOR a Power 5 team.
@KatieHnida
kicked against UCLA in the Las Vegas Bowl, making her the first woman to participate in a Power 5 game.
Historic moment for college football 👏
Vanderbilt is turning to women's soccer player Sarah Fuller to be its place-kicker on Saturday.
She will become the first woman to participate in a Power 5 football game. (via

So Susan had an interview in

Today is my 38th day living at the Hilton Lake Las Vegas, and the teams' 39th. I miss the family but I'm thankful to the entire staff at the Hilton Lake Las Vegas that have been so welcoming and helpful. They've been great, and have helped keep things as "normal" as it can be.
Whelp, it took 51 minutes but we did it everyone. There is nothing on either story about a retraction, a correction, a "we regret the error", a "oops, our bad?" ... nothing.
Happy Sunday?

This is better than the ABBA albums I want in your garage.
At CoSIDA in Orlando a few years back and I see
@jimseavey
talking to someone, so I cruise in, say excuse me and give him a big hug. He was talking to Dick Enberg. I said “oh my God you’re Dick Enberg I’m so sorry” Enberg laughs and said “I like to hug Jim too”. That was awesome.
Thank you to the 13,019 that came out tonight and rocked

Now for the important stuff of the day. My family got me a hanging light for my pool table. (it’s really cool).
This is the logo on the box.

I was supposed to die at birth & have the wrong name on my birth certificate as a result, but have a dream job, an amazing wife, three kick-ass grown daughters and have lived long enough to watch women became equals in my profession. She can have the money..I’ll take my life.
Just heard about the passing of former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson. It's weird to know I've met every Governor of this great state, but Governor Richardson was a massive Lobo at heart, and loved our hoops team. He was such a good guy to meet and talk with.
See, when you daughter went to school at your opponent’s campus and you mention it in your notes, this is the stuff that happens…

Yes, for those who texted me, I’m 53 so I do wear reading glasses right now, along with regularly wearing contact lenses.

Most Lobo fans don’t know Nate Garcia, one of our equipment folks. Seriously one of the best dudes, UNM through and through.
Nate’s wife suddenly and very unexpectedly passed away in the middle of the night. This was set up to help with expenses:
