4 Roman Martinez got the majority of the preseason recognition, but Darington Hobson may be the key to building on last season's co-MWC championship. His stat line against the Aggies (17 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists) sounds like the perfect Thanksgiving plate: A little bit of everything, but not too much of anything.

3 Maybe rapper 50 Cent's crew mistook Marv Albert for Ja Rule with lighter skin and a bad dye job. When the longtime broadcaster dared get near them backstage at the Jimmy Kimmel show, a brief scuffle ensued. Fortunately, Albert didn't attempt to bite off more than he could chew. Yesssss!

2 Ask most any Denver Bronco fan prior to the season if they would've taken 6-4 now, and most would've done it in a heartbeat. Ask them if 6-4 sounds good after a 6-0 start, and answers might be a little different. Ed Hochuli couldn't have saved the Broncos yesterday vs. San Diego.

1 Maybe it's the good karma from coach Mike Locksley seeking out Tony Dungy for advice. Or maybe it's the fact that James Aho found the inside of an upright. Either way, the senior class leaves UNM without the ignominy of a winless season. The next bold prediction: TCU ends the winning streak at one.
