Sports

We started off the beginning of the week by sending our women's soccer team to Utah on Tuesday to play the University of New Mexico's team as part of the MWC Tournament. We lost to them and UNM advanced to play BYU. This video is a clip of what went on and it is absolutely appalling. Having been to several sporting events throughout the years (besides soccer), I can tell you that UNM athletics seems to have a consistent issue with walking the fine line of aggressiveness vs. unsportsmanlike conduct. It's too bad, really. I'm just glad one of them finally got caught. Here's a video off of ESPN's website. They were one of the first to pick up on the situation: New Mexico player's rough tactics lead to ban Posted using ShareThis

In other news, our football team played BYU today (they are ranked 25th in the nation, by the way...not us, that is, but BYU) and we were walloped. We lost the game 52-0. Yikes. The announcer said that the last time we were beat that badly was in the 1980s when we were shut out 59-0 by, again, BYU.

So...not the best week for sports, it seems, and not just for us but for others, too! It's a tough world in athletics, that's for sure. :)
