Salas steps up

To think, Greg Salas might have been using those hands to knock down passes rather than reel them in. Coming out of Chino (Calif.)

NMSU preview

Grounded Aggies

The New Mexico State Aggies need a spark. A win at the University of Hawaii would do the trick. So would a scoring drive for an offense that hasn't gotten into the end zone in 13 quarters. That would certainly be a good place to start.

UH's new guards can't help but be better

There were additions this offseason to the Hawaii backcourt, yes. But there were some losses, too -- All-WAC defensive teamer Kareem Nitoto transferred out, as did oft-erratic shooting guard Lasha Parghalava, who was sometimes also decent on D.


Nash needs to go back to the dog days to be successful this season

People often ask what I like most on local sportstalk radio. By far it is a couple of commercials: the one for Carquest where a woman gushes about how she got sold a more expensive set of windshield wipers than she really needs (like that's a good thing), and the one where a babooze nearly electrocutes another braddah getting ready for a pregame potluck. I hear these over and over, but always find them entertaining.
