Wolverines seeking consistency, confidence

January 9, 2012

Reading Time: 2 minutes Sammie Jensen may need to remind herself every now and again she hasn’t changed teams. Seeing nine different teammates in the starting lineup will do that.   The roster shuffling has been necessary, as the Wolverines have seen one player perform well one night only to disappear the next. True freshman Taylor Huber started her […]

Holiday sports gluttony

January 9, 2012

Reading Time: 2 minutes Few things capture the feel of the holiday season like the smell and taste of good food.  Whether it’s your homemade southern specialty deep-fried turkey and sweet potato casserole or a store bought honey baked ham, the holidays are the holidays because of the way family is brought together by good food.   When the […]

Conference a factor in lack of school spirit

January 9, 2012

Reading Time: 2 minutes Colleges throughout the nation have mascots, bands and clubs to help support the school they are a part of. With all the support from these outlets, what really makes a student body care about their school?   Many people grew up loving certain schools because of where their parents graduated from or the town they […]

Jazz boast potential to persist

January 9, 2012

Reading Time: 2 minutes The unsung note of potential is the failure to produce results now. In a very much “what have you done for me lately” society, the Jazz trump hope for the future, and lack in the now.   The food storage is packed, but the fridge is near empty. However, this season isn’t as bleak as […]

Wolverines come up just short against Wyoming

January 4, 2012

Reading Time: 2 minutes The Cowboys of Wyoming took their show on the road, brought their 12-2 record down to the UCCU Center and wrangled the UVU Wolverines (7-9) with a 76-70 non-conference win.   After a 34-point drubbing in Laramie, the Wolverines showed they were capable of competing in a big-time rodeo as they were within one point […]

Sideline Special

December 5, 2011

Reading Time: 4 minutes   Utah Valley volleyball setter Brookelyn Campbell gives a day-to-day, inside look of the team’s trip to North Dakota for the Great West Conference tournament.

Two-time teammates

December 5, 2011

Reading Time: 3 minutes Most people playing a team sport will say their teammates are their best friends. After eight years of playing together, it’s no longer a cliché.   Kaycee Mansfield and Cydne Mason are two juniors starting for the UVU women’s basketball team. They started playing together in seventh grade in American Fork and have continued through […]

Hype – what is it good for? Absolutely nothing

December 5, 2011

Reading Time: 2 minutes Sometimes the line between being a journalist or reporter gets in the way of fandom, and even the best of us get blurry vision at times when that line creeps up on us.   It turns out it’s an actual medical condition, called “hype-rventilation.”   Those in the media these days tend to get caught […]

Utah State fan revolt perfect timing for UVU

December 5, 2011

Reading Time: 2 minutes Timing is everything, and really, the Wolverines’ couldn’t be better heading into tomorrow’s men’s basketball game at Utah State. That’s because the Aggies find themselves in their own controversy, though nowhere near a Penn State or Syracuse level (a.k.a. DEFCON 0.5).   Sum-up: USU fans chose to take offense last week after two incidents put […]

Inconsistency plagues Wolverines early

December 5, 2011

Reading Time: 3 minutes This season has brought mixed results for Dick Hunsaker’s squad up to this point. Against inferior opponents and teams with a similar talent level as UVU, the Wolverines have found a way to win if not dominate at times.   It’s a whole other story when the level of competition steps up.   Against Simpson, […]
