Lobos: Third-string Vega may start against Aggies Continued from Page B-1 kinda see how it goes.” Still, Davie made two things perfectly clear. First, he wasn’t going to discuss the health of his quarterbacks after meeting with the local media on Sunday afternoon. Second, third-string signal caller David Vega was going to start preparations for this weekend’s game against Utah State as the team’s starter. A product of Roswell Goddard High, Vega relieved Gautsche and threw a touchdown pass late in the game to bring the Lobos (2-4, 0-2) within one score of tying the game. He had seen action in two previous games, giving Davie hope that his new front man was at least a bit more acclimated for game time than most third-string QBs. UNM, which has now lost 33 of its past 37 conference games, gets a visit from MWC newcomer Utah State on Saturday. The Aggies (3-4, 2-1) are also dealing with their own problems under center as all-conference candidate Chuckie Keeton was recently lost for the season due to a knee injury. Utah State has lost four offensive starters to injury this season, the latest being tight end D.J. Tialavea with a broken bone in his foot.
Men’s basketball The Lobo Howl will be Friday at 6 p.m. in The Pit. Admission and parking is free to the public. ESPNU will broadcast part of the three-hour event with former Arizona standout Miles Simon offering live updates to a national audience. UNM is one of nine men’s programs being highlighted throughout the night by the various ESPN networks. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to avoid traffic congestion. The UNM women’s soccer team will be playing at 5 p.m., and a high school football game
will start at 7 p.m. Both events will limit the available parking spaces near the football stadium. The UNM women’s basketball program will have its players signing autographs from 6 to 6:30 p.m. on the north concourse, then the men’s team will do the same from 6:30 to 7 p.m. The women’s team will then practice from 7 to 8 p.m., followed by an hour-long men’s practice. Both teams will have player introductions, then conduct various drills and have skills competitions. The men’s team will have a dunk contest. Expectations for the men’s team are as high as ever this season. Coming off a 29-win season that included Mountain West Conference championships in the regular season and tournament, the Lobos were a near-unanimous pick to win the title again in a recent media poll conducted at the MWC’s preseason meetings.
Lobos-Jayhawks One of UNM’s more anticipated nonconference games will be Dec. 14 against perennial national power Kansas. The game will be played at the Sprint Center in Kansas City. Tipoff is scheduled for 5 p.m. Tickets are already on sale through the Sprint Center. The prices are $62, $92 and $112. There is no specific location for Lobo fans. For more information, visit www. SprintCenter.com to examine the various ticket packages.
Top 25 alert The Associated Press will release its preseason Top 25 men’s basketball poll on Oct. 31. The AP All-America team will be revealed on Nov. 4. Several national publications already have UNM ranked well within the top 25.

Truth: Denial starts at the top Continued from Page B-1 NFL; they’ll squash you.” At every step of the growing concussion crisis, the NFL responded with heartlessness toward its players and disregard for science. Former commissioner Paul Tagliabue, who waved off newspaper reports on the dangers of concussions as “pack journalism,” created the Mild Traumatic Brain Injury committee to study the issue, but it was headed by Dr. Elliot Pellman — the Jets team doctor and a Guadalajara-trained rheumatologist, not a neurologist. Through the years the committee wrote 16 papers downplaying concussions as minor injuries that shouldn’t prevent players from returning to games even moments after coming off the field in a dazed condition. When Pellman was replaced by Dr. Ira Casson, Casson gave his famous “Dr. No” interview on 60 Minutes repeating the denials. The league consistently marginalized the advocacy of Chris Nowinski and the work of Dr. Ann McKee. Nowinski convinced the families of
deceased football players to donate their brains to Boston University’s research center, where McKee’s examinations have revealed CTE in 45 of 46 NFL cases. McKee also found CTE in the brains of a college player who committed suicide and a high school player who died following a concussion. The Frontline documentary was based on the forthcoming book by brothers Steve Fainaru and Mark Fainaru-Wada, who also wrote the Barry Bonds and BALCO exposé, Game of Shadows. One of their most impactful interviews was with agent Leigh Steinberg, who described his conversation with concussed Troy Aikman. Three times within about 30 minutes Aikman asked Steinberg where he was and what had happened, and three times Steinberg repeated the news that the Cowboys were going to the Super Bowl. The NFL, compared to Big Tobacco at a congressional hearing, has made some reforms to the rules on hits, procedures for clearing concussed players and amount of contact in practice.
Then a player like Alex Smith — exercising caution in letting his brain heal — loses his job to Colin Kaepernick, or Jahvid Best finds himself out of football after an incomplete recovery. The other side of the concussion problem is resistance from the players and their union in admitting brain injury. A league in denial makes it necessary for its stars to be in denial, too. None of them are quitting the sport in fear for their future sanity. What’s at stake? Millions of dollars in salary for the athletes and mega-billions for the entertainment industry of football, whose foothold in American culture starts at the grass-roots Pee Wee level. The denial starts at the top but trickles down through our footballloving society, where the crunchiest collisions get the loudest cheers. The forgetful, broken old men simply got the tradeoff that came due. The concussion crisis won’t ever end until the risk of dementia by age 50 outweighs the reward of youthful glory.
