The Rebound
I will admit, I was not a fan of DeMarcus Cousins in the past. In reality, I flat out disliked him. He was mean, short-tempered, played with a low basketball-IQ, made poor decisions, and was the furthest thing from a role model for his fellow players. Although he obviously had a significant amount of raw […]

Sam Borst-Smith – Men’s Basketball
1. What is your favorite aspect of the game? Why? My favorite aspect of the game has to be the camaraderie of the team, especially after a good win. The locker room is always in high spirits. We usually are laughing about something, but more than anything we are just happy to have gotten the […]

Tough times for Sabres fans, but draft prospects offer hope
The 2014-2015 NHL season has been nothing short of embarrassing for the Buffalo Sabres so far. Coming into their game on Thursday, Nov. 13, the team sat at a lowly 3-12-2 record, good enough for last place in the league. The team has been outplayed by the rest of the league in all facets of […]

Top three MLB Free Agents
This is a wonderful time on the baseball calendar. Until Feb. 14 (when pitchers and catchers report), we get to hear about how this player dropped 20 pounds and this player put on 20 pounds in all the right places and how this guy added a cutter and this guy is recommitting himself to plate […]

The Sanchize has come
On Monday, November 10, Mark Sanchez threw for over 300 yards and two touchdowns. In 2014. For the Philadelphia Eagles. What? It was an odd sight, and for good reason – Mark Sanchez was the joke of sports for an inordinately long time. We’ll do a quick run-through: the shirtless posing, the head scratching interceptions, […]

The first win came on Sunday, Nov. 2, at an away match against Carnegie Mellon. In this game, the YellowJackets outscored the Tartans 2-1 in a come-from-behind victory. Coming into […]

Kailee Zornow – Women’s Soccer
1. How did you first get involved with soccer? When I was younger, I wanted to be just like my older brother. He played soccer and baseball, so I played soccer and baseball. I just so happened to fall in love with soccer, so when we were older and really had to commit to a […]

Week 10 NFL game predictions
Let’s be honest here. The fact that I called the Rams over the Niners, predicting the score within four total points of the actual score is pretty remarkable. If you placed a bet on that game on my advice, you’re probably an idiot, but also probably rich right now. Week 10 doesn’t have nearly as […]

The Rebound
“Wow” is all I can say about the beyond-impressive start to the Warriors’ season. Not only are they off to a 4-0 start, but they are looking fairly unstoppable. There were some questions raised in the off-season about the decision to release head coach Mark Jackson and bring in former three-point gunner Steve Kerr. I […]
