Coach Locksley, Professor Chavez…

… and now this. Things are getting seriously weird at the University of New Mexico.

    This athlete should consider a transfer to the Univ of Florida, where attempting to gouge out the eyes of your opponent earns a half game suspension.

    Unfortunately, I guess telling our young women that they can do anything a man can do has had unintended consequences–increased dangerous drinking, increased aggression, etc.

    When I went to college, I was in a freshman coed dorm. We were told that the prior year, when the dorm had been all male, it had the highest rate of vandalism on campus, culminating in a coke machine being tossed from the roof. The addition of the ladies was hoped to tame us…or perhaps channel our energies elsewhere. That’s where I met my wife, anyway.

    It’s fairly obvious that the soccer player was trying to get extra credit in Prof. Chavez’s class.

    There’s only bits and snatches from the match. My interpretation is that the BYU forwards knew they were dealing with a hot-head and were winding her up (talking to her, elbowing her, stepping on her toes) so that the red mist would descend on the defender and she’d get sent off. It looked like the referees and the line judges weren’t noticing anything, surprisingly enough. Usually they see the retaliation and the defender gets a red card. Typically, a red card means the player is sent off, not to return, and the team plays a man down. Sometimes the referee notices everything and the players get a stiff talking-to, to get them to cool it. Sometimes a fight breaks out, and it’s handbags at five paces (soccer players are not good at brawling, typically).

    Most coaches know not to play hot-heads in defense.

    "It’s fairly obvious that the soccer player was trying to get extra credit in Prof. Chavez’s class."

    So many people make this connection. Lisa Chavez truly set a new kind of bar out in New Mexico. What’s a little punch, a chokehold and a ponytail throw, when Prof. Chavez gags, ties up, and whips her students in public photos (oh, only poses!), and puts on a dildo with them — for her second job. Great way to represent UNM.

Buy UD's book!

Sure, it's pricey.

But remind me how much money you've paid me over the last four years while I've been sweating out this blog. Plus there's stuff about universities in our book, which could have come right out of University Diaries.
