Occupy Brookings
National protest movement Occupy Wall Street is taking on Main Street Brookings, as students and locals band together in support of local businesses, by practicing “Cash Mobs”. Since protests began in mid-September 2011, the movement has spread to more than 95 cities and 600 communities, many of them small towns like Brookings. Brookings Occupiers say [...]
Body, Fatigue Keeps Climbers Grounded
Salt Lake City, Utah is one of the winter sports capitals of the U.S. Nestled in the shadows of the intimidating Wasatch Range, Salt Lake City offers big city life with mountains to disappear into. I flew into Salt Lake City a day before the New Year to celebrate in a slightly different way. I [...]
Tips to Stay in Shape This Winter
In case you haven’t noticed, it’s atypically warm outside. In fact, according to Weather.com, the average high in Brookings so far this year has been around 36 degrees. Mention the unseasonably nice weather and people will nod fervently, extolling the lack of ice and bitter cold while knocking on the nearest wooden surface, as though [...]

I have a confession to make. Those that know me well already know that what I am about to tell you is a huge part of my life. It has been a sense of ridicule, it has strained relationships with family, and sometimes alienated friends. I’m a fan of the Green Bay Packers. Some things [...]
Back on Level Ground, SDSU has Obvious Edge
It is said that time makes the heart grow fonder and that is exactly what time has done for the SDSU/USD rivalry. The two instate Division I schools have taken different paths to the same spot, where both currently are, even if it seems like their journey through the transition were eerily similar. Both schools [...]
Jacks, ‘Yotes to Rekindle Rivalry
There’s that old saying about how the more things change, the more they stay the same. That’s partially true with SDSU and USD in basketball. Both have made the move to Division I and the Coyotes are almost fully clear of the “transition status” that weighed down SDSU for a period in the last decade. [...]
Bragging Rights
They are your neighbors, your high school classmates, your family members. You picked a side. SDSU or USD. You’re on that side for life and you’ll let them know about it. You’re part of a state divided. The history dates back to 1915 on the hardwood, alternating across the 116 miles separating Brookings and Vermillion. [...]
