Reading Time: < 1 minute With two exhibition games won and behind them, the UVU women’s soccer team is ready to take on the 2009 season. UVU lost a few seniors last season, but coach Brent Anderson says, “We have a great core of players returning this season and we’ve added some great recruits.” The 2009 season marks the first […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes After a quick two-game home stand against the Seattle Sounders FC and the league’s best Houston Dynamo, RSL is 5-2-4 in their last 11 games, but their slow start to the season may end up putting them on the outside looking in come playoff time. RSL got a much-needed three points with a 1-0 win […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes It all started with a win over the Idaho Falls Chukars on Aug. 5 and has continued for over two weeks. After finishing third behind Ogden and Idaho Falls in the Pioneer League South Division’s first-half standings, the Owlz have ripped off a season-long winning streak to put them in command of the division race. Orem had won 12 games in a row as of Aug. 19 and propelled themselves into first place in the division with about three weeks to go in the season.
Reading Time: 2 minutes The first days of school in late August bring with them a sense of beginning, a sense of belonging and a spirit of affiliation. At UVU this is mostly true, all but the spirit of affiliation part. It’s a regular occurrence on campus to find students wearing shirts, hats and other accessories colored a certain […]

Reading Time: 2 minutes This week’s word: Education
Reading Time: 2 minutes I had an interesting experience the other night – one which I hope will be repeated often. Some friends and I were discussing politics jovially and passionately (not to mention loudly) outside my house around 11 P.M. or so. All of a sudden, a couple from the neighboring apartment complex popped their heads out and […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes There’s a popular axiom that dictates (in a G-rated form, anyway), “Opinions are like [armpits]. Everyone has them, and they all stink.” While this is obviously not 100% true (some people have no armpits, while some armpits smell quite lovely), there lies an indisputable chunk of truth in that meme. Because this is the Opinion section, there is certainly a small sting whenever it is said/written/told to me by my editor. What’s a boy to do? First, it’s important to recognize that the statement is probably more untrue than it is true. Despite what I see on both MSNBC and Fox News, I think that most people, including the student body at UVU, have intelligent, reasonable, fact-based opinions. To prove myself right (something at which I am very, very good), here’s a handy list of things that the fine readers of the UVU Review can continue to do in their writings to us in order to continue my high esteem of them:
Reading Time: 2 minutes It’s back. We’re back, I mean. The annual migration of late teens and twenty-somethings from parents’ basements into overpriced, college-accessible housing has reached its peak. The D.I. is crowded on Wednesdays again, and the bookstore staff are cashing their fat, fat paychecks, with a lack of shame rivaled only by Disney and Lucifer himself. A […]
