Now that I'm living a stone's throw from UNM, I am hoping to take advantage of the big-time college sports scene that was pretty much absent at Harvard (except for the Yale game). I know, I know, a lot of people would dispute the idea that UNM sports are "big time;" our top sport is women's basketball. But the campus still mobilizes for football and basketball games, and for now I'm happy to be in the middle of it. That opinion will most likely change when drunken revelers throw up on my doorstep, but since that hasn't happened yet, go Lobos!

And yes, I'm one of those hypocritical snobs who thinks the University shouldn't sell out by lowering its academic standards for athletes yet who still attends games and cheers.
