The Rafa comeback is in full sprint! Nadal beat Ernests Gulbis in three sets at Indian Wells in a surprisingly awesome fourth round match. This sets up everyone's dream quarterfinal tonight: Rafa v. Roger.

I remember the first Jets game I went to. It was '97, Jets were 8-5 and the Colts were 1-11. The Colts won. Neil O'Donnell had a horrible horrible game. The crowd was losing it pretty early on. My dad was sitting next to me and like, "Just ignore everyone. You can be mad and dignified. Just look at that guy. Be like… Read more

hah, I forgot that this was even in dispute. Because I always knew or never bothered to find out? Rutgers-State University, right? Either way, Dan Schleck would know. Read more
I guess this is really a trend. It's funny that they expect more from the student paper. As if the campus paper is going to turn people off? It just reflects how the campus FEELS. But guess what? Everyone is going to show up cause what else is there to do on Saturday? I guess there's also an element of: I can get away… Read more
