Reading Time: 2 minutes Peyton Manning just bailed John Elway out in a humongous way. Having lived everywhere from Boston to San Francisco, I have seen the contrast between the big market sports cities as well as the blip-on-the-radar organizations. You don’t see a player the magnitude of Peyton Manning choose to play up in the mountains when […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes The last two weeks have been a lot kinder to the Utah Valley baseball program than the previous two. After a disappointing 2-8 start to the season, the Wolverines have gone 5-3 against tough competition. Following a three-game sweep of Southern Utah, the Wolverines spent their spring break in Arizona, splitting a two game […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes Six pitchers, 19 hits, 13 runs and two errors. Not exactly what the Wolverines were hoping for in their home opener Thursday night.

Reading Time: 2 minutes March ushers in one of the greatest periods of the sporting year and madness ensues on campuses all around the nation. Brackets are filled out and wagers are made. Students and professionals alike play hooky and our nation comes to a complete standstill. It’s not long, however, until brackets are busted and 90 percent of […]

The usual complaints include not sleeping in one’s own bed, eating differently and jet lag. No matter the excuses, tough competition has been the thorn in their side during this first road trip of the year. The Wolverines had a 15-2 […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes Whether it’s the cream and the clear or straight up needle in the butt, steroids and HGH have continued to find a way to haunt Major League baseball. Dating back to the days of the Bash Brothers with Mark McGwire and Jose Canseco in the 1980’s, up to now with Ryan Braun and his FedEx […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Paul Revere and … Wentworth Cheswell? Most people would be at a loss for the last man named, but had the British gone north instead of west it would have been Cheswell known for his midnight ride to alert the masses that, “the red-coats are coming!” Cheswell’s northern […]
Reading Time: 3 minutes Some questions are asked more for entertainment than enlightenment, and some have answers that are completely impossible to prove one way or another. Philosophies not only vary from team to team, but player to coach as well. The effects of having extended time off between games is a question that adds relevant information while […]
Reading Time: 2 minutes Tebow sucks, and Jimmer is what he is, but Linsanity is one hype train I’m happy to jump on. Each has their own “thing” that distinguishes them. Jimmer is the nice boy from up-state New York with unlimited range and played basketball with prison inmates. Tebow is the son of Christian missionaries. He will […]
