Most Valuable Player award should address player’s true team value

Recently, there has been much bickering over the results of the Major League Baseball American League MVP voting results. The winner of this award was Miguel Tejada, finishing far ahead of second place finisher Alex Rodriquez. Many people claim Rodriquez should have won the award because he put up better overall numbers during the regular season than Tejada did. I find this logic to be completely idiotic.

With the Milwaukee Bucks 2002-03 regular season about a week away from getting underway, I am sensing a very different feeling about the prospects of the season than at the start of last year.

Pet Peeves: A night of overcrowding, sweat, stale beer

Buh-bye to the people of Carroll College

It is my lawful duty as a graduating senior to say goodbye to Carroll College. Well, maybe not lawful duty, but definitely earned right.

Star athletes find fame’s grasp too hard to break

Last week, as I am sure many of you know by now, Michael Jordan made an announcement that he will not play the rest of the season. The reason is due to the swelling in his right knee. Jordan injured the knee before the all-star game and elected to have surgery.

College sports gambling not fair to young student-athletes

Now that we are in the month of March the attention of many sports fans everywhere is turned to one major annual event. While this may be a glorious time, it can also be (and has been) marred by a terrible tragedy that has spread in college sports. What could I possible be referring to you may ask?

Diversity is People: International people on display

April will be a month plump full of multicultural events. The first of such events is the annual International Folk Fair, organized and sponsored by the International Experiences Club.
