Columnist Kriens bids farewell, remarks on fun five years
Editor’s Note: Travis Kriens has been an important part of The Collegian and its sports columns. We thank him for his hard work over the years.

NCAA responds to SDSU men’s selection
It is the first time that the Jackrabbits have ever made the men’s NCAA Tournament and fans have analyzed and dissected where SDSU was seeded.

Two bids for the Summit? Kriens says don’t plan on it

Former University of Florida head football coach Urban Meyer was officially named the head coach at Ohio State on Nov. 28, even if Meyer vehemently denied that a deal was in the works up until a couple of days prior. It was reported as early as Nov. 18 that it was all but a foregone [...]
More details about Sandusky unfold in disturbed PSU scandal
There is so much still going on with the situation at Penn State that it is hard to keep track of it all, but one thing is clear: none of it looks good for Jerry Sandusky. The first public allegations against Sandusky was in 1998 when he admitted to hugging a boy while showering with [...]
Coyotes spoil Senior Night for Jacks
USD proved they are the state’s top dog in volleyball with a season sweep. A volleyball season that took a turn for the worse halfway through ended on a sour note Saturday night at Frost Arena as the USD defeated SDSU 3-1 in the final match of the season for both squads. The lone set [...]
