On Friday night, ESPN had a preliminary talk on whether or not a specific team would join the Big Ten Conference. I have heard talks of Syracuse and Rutgers calling the Big Ten their new home but I never thought this team would be considered: The Texas Longhorns.
Yes, it’s true....

I know everyone is just geeked for curling and figure skating, but I am so ready for Men’s Olympic Hockey. Since 1998, the Games have been star struck with NHL players, and a lot of countries boast stacked all-star rosters that are going to be putting on a dynamite display of hockey....

The Super Bowl, one of the most anticipated times of the year.
Everyone watches, some for the game, but more for the commercials.
Let’s face it, only a handful of people actually care what happens in the game. The rest only care about betting squares, the party, or the commercials. Advertisers...

This week the Spartans faced two teams, Michigan and Northwestern. To win each one would give Michigan State more than “just another win.”
First, the Spartans faced their in-state rival, the arch-nemesis Michigan Wolverines. Looking at each teams’ season up to the game, it...

A Spartan win, 65-64, is a score that no one could have predicted before tip-off.
Winning its last meeting with the Gophers by seven, getting the one-point victory and barely walking away with a win for the Spartans was a shock.
