It’s been a tumultuous few months for the University of New Mexico’s athletics department. Here’s a glance at the issues unfolding since late summer: Aug. 17 — Eddie Nuñez steps down as athletic director to take the same position at Houston. He spent seven years at UNM, overseeing massive infrastructure changes to get department’s financial crisis under control. In 2018 he cut multiple team sports to help balance the budget. Aug. 21 — Dave Williams is named interim AD after serving as Nuñez’s righthand man for several years. Aug. 24 — In Bronco Mendenhall’s first game as football coach, the Lobos give up 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter and lose their season opener to Montana State, an FCS team. Oct. 19 — The Lobo football team goes on the road and beats Utah State, 50-45. They score three times in the final 10 minutes, making it the first time since 1916 the team has reached at least 50 points three games in a row. Sept. 2 — The Mountain West halts its football scheduling agreement with Pac-12 holdovers Washington State and Oregon State, a move that hints at a rift between the leagues. The conferences had agreed to have OSU and Wazzu play as many as six nonconference games against MWC teams in 2024 and 2025. Sept. 12 — Four Mountain West schools (Boise State, Fresno State, Colorado State and San Diego State) announce they are leaving for the Pac-12 in 2026. Their exit sparks a flurry of alignment moves over the coming weeks and initiates a buyout clause of abouty $18 million per school. Sept. 23 — Utah State becomes the fifth school to announce it is leaving for the Pac-12. Sept. 26 — The MWC gets commitments from its seven remaining schools (New Mexico, UNLV, Nevada, Air Force, Wyoming, San Jose State and Hawaii) to stay in the league. In doing so it allows UNLV and Air Force to split nearly half of an estimated $90 million in exit fees paid by the departing schools. UNM is alotted 11.5%. Sept. 30 — In a race to gobble up as many relevant regional candidates as possible, the Mountain West announces it will add UTEP as a full member in 2026. Oct. 15 — The MWC announces Hawaii will join the league as an all-sports member in 2026. Hawaiihad been a football-only member since 2012. Nov. 1 — The Mountain West introduces Grand Canyon, which does not have a football program, as a full member by 2026. Nov. 16 — The Lobos upset then-No. 18 Washington State, 38-35, at home. It’s their first win over a ranked team in 21 years, and first at home since 1994. Nov . 24 — UNM names Fernando Lovo as its new athletic director. He comes to Albuquerque by way of two extended stints as a sports administrator at Texas. Nov. 26 — An altercation breaks out on a chartered flight carrying the UNM men’s basketball team to a Thanksgiving tournament in Palm Springs, Calif. Walk-on Shane Douma-Sanchez claims he was punched by an unnamed scholarship player, then had another altercation with him flare up in the team hotel. Nov. 30 — UNM’s football team drops a 38-30 decision in the season finale at Hawaii, preventing the Lobos from reaching a bowl game for the first time in eight years. Dec. 3 — Mendenhall does not deny he’s been contacted by Utah State about its football coaching vacancy, saying he will not comment on speculation. It is reported he traveled to Logan, Utah, the following day for an interview. Dec. 4 — Lovo is officially introduced as the new AD in a ceremony in The Pit in front of a large crowd of boosters, athletes and coaches. Dec. 5 — News leaks of Mendenhall reaching an agreement to become Utah State’s new football coach. Terms are not disclosed. Within an hour, several prominent players, including all-conference quarterback Devon Dampier and 1,000-yard rusher Eli Sanders, announce they will enter the transfer portal.For anyone who dreams of a career in engineering that involves pushing the envelope, a post-secondary institution with an innovative approach to engineering education is essential.

Gilgo Beach serial killer suspect charged with seventh murderCES 2025 is looming around the corner, and while the annual tech show is usually full of high-tech goodies, this year is going to be especially important for gamers. Nvidia’s Jensen Huang is hosting the big CES keynote this year, so you can expect Team Green to be going big. Likewise, we haven’t seen new graphics cards from AMD, so it’s a very strong possibility that CES is going to usher in an entirely new generation of graphics hardware . CES 2025: When is it Happening? CES 2025 officially kicks off on January 7, 2025. However, the real show starts a day earlier, on January 6, when Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang takes the stage for the CES 2025 keynote at 6:30pm PST. CES 2025 will wrap up around January 10. We expect announcements to happen throughout the week, as the hundreds of tech companies all vie for attention. Companies like Intel, AMD, Samsung and Sony all have their own keynotes scheduled, likely brimming with announcements of their own. There’s going to be a lot of stuff. What is CES? CES, or the Consumer Electronics Show, is an annual tech convention, where tech companies big and small show off concepts and new products for the new year. Unlike some other trade shows, a big part of CES has always been concepts that give a glimpse into the future, rather than just the products we’ll see at our local Best Buy later in the year – though the latter is still a huge part of the show. You can expect everything from gaming laptops to flying cars to make an appearance at CES, though this year we suspect the former is going to be the star of the show. What to Expect From CES 2025 While CES usually has a wide variety of technology on offer, and likely will this year too, the thing we’re most interested in is new GPUs. After all, Nvidia’s Jensen Huang is hosting the big keynote that kicks the event off, and I couldn’t imagine Team Green not taking that opportunity to announce something big. We’re overdue for new graphics cards anyway. Typically, new graphics cards – both from AMD and Nvidia – release on a roughly two-year cycle. Given that the RTX 4090 launched in October 2022 and the Radeon RX 7900 XTX launched in December of the same year, we’re officially overdue for a new generation of graphics cards. It doesn’t hurt that Intel beat both of these companies to the punch with its new graphics card, the Intel Arc B580, either. With the Intel card already out in the wild, and with the company’s disappointing Core Ultra 200S processors already out, it’s less clear what Intel will have to bring to the table. The Lunar Lake architecture behind AI PCs has been out since September, and it's unlikely that Team Blue will have a follow-up to that architecture already. However, we are still waiting on a new generation of H-series processors from the company. H-series processors are typically reserved for gaming laptops, and offer substantially better performance than the chips behind your thin and light devices. If AMD does announce new graphics, it’s possible that we might at least get a sneak peak at the AMD Z2 – or whatever the follow-up to the Z1 Extreme will be called. Handheld gaming PCs have blown up over the last year or so, with hits like the Asus ROG Ally X and the Lenovo Legion Go really taking the idea popularized by the Steam Deck and running with it. MSI is heading into the show with the MSI Claw 8 AI already up for preorder, and we can’t imagine it’s the only manufacturer with a handheld to show. After all, we’re still waiting for Alienware to make its Concept UFO from CES 2020 a reality. Given that it’s been 4 years, we wouldn’t be surprised to see it make an appearance. Beyond PC gaming, though, Sony and Samsung both have major press conferences at the show. While it’s exciting to see Sony at the show, it’s likely that the company is going to focus primarily on their non-gaming segments – think TVs, audio, etc. Likewise, I don’t expect Samsung to announce new phones at the show, though with the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra being nearly a year old at this point, we could be surprised. Like any year, though, there’s no way to predict everything that will be at the show. There are hundreds of companies showing off what they’ve been cooking up, and there is always something huge that takes everyone by surprise. Luckily, because we’ll be on the ground, we’ll be updating this article with all the cool stuff we see in Las Vegas in January, so be sure to keep this page bookmarked.
