Softball slides into Brookings
The spring sports season has begun.
Basketball programs adapting
My response to the letter to the editor that was published last week by a current USD student is this: It is a column, not a report. It is my opinion on anything sports-related. If you do not like it, don’t read it. But since you requested local, here’s local.
NBA all about the individual now
The NBA has been known to not have the greatest basketball. A lot of times it is more about the show, and it does not have as much defense compared to college basketball. The WNBA has been known as the game with athletes that play with “heart”. It is not always about the big contract signings and endorsement deals.
Video games provide fun during finals week
As the semester comes to an end and finals week approaches, we find ourselves with more “free time” to participate in activities like video games. Everyone knows that Halo has taken over the gaming world; however, I am not an avid Xbox gamer. Play Station 2 is my console of choice.
Vikings appear to be Super Bowl bound
I must retract my previous statement about the Minnesota Vikings. I said before that the Vikings would go through the season with only four wins, but they managed to pull off a four-game winning streak mid-season. The miracle man of Minnesota, Brad Johnson, returns after a six-season absence from his original team.
Jacks hockey team puts on good show
It’s getting later into November and there still isn’t any snow on the ground. Usually snow is on the ground by Hobo Day, or it is at least freezing outside. It’s been really nice outside the last few weeks, which is really odd. By this time of year, kids are usually outside playing hockey.
With many recent changes, NBA season should be exciting
With my 21st birthday on Sunday, I am sitting here on a Saturday trying to think of what to write about this week. The NBA begins Nov. 2 with a bit of a twist. There are a lot of things to look forward to this year in the NBA. A new dress code, new set of roster rules, new coaches, different cities, key player additions and new uniforms are just a few of the new things.
Wild day of college football full of shockers
College football, to me, is more exciting to watch sometimes than the NFL. College football is filled with skilled, unknown teams and upsets. It’s all about the polls and rankings. If a lower seed beats a higher seed, it’s a pretty big deal. Since there are no playoffs in college football, teams need to be good and ranked high to contend for a national title, or just to get recognized for an invitation to one of the many bowl games.
The Vikings just one of the many surprises in the NFL this year
The NFL is full of surprises this year. Four teams are undefeated so far this season: the Cincinatti Bengals, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Indianapolis Colts and Washington Redskins. The surprising thing about these teams is the way they are winning. The Bengals went 8-8 last year and didn’t even make the playoffs.
