What a week. Students are going to Leavey more to avoid the insufferable heat wave rather than study, the Southeastern Conference has a record 10 teams in the Associated Press Top 25 Poll and the Pac-12 overall had arguably the biggest opening week flop in recent memory. But fear not, because the Trojans are alive […]

Well, folks, it’s that time of year again. School has started back up, it’s ridiculously hot in Los Angeles and ESPN continues to obsess about the Southeast Conference.

This year’s NCAA Tournament has felt different. It just has. Perhaps it is because of the conspicuous absences. No Florida. No Michigan. No Connecticut. No Syracuse.

Manchester City’s 2-1 home defeat to Barcelona in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 was a stumble, but their second half performance saved them from a face plant. As Sergio Agüero deftly tucked the ball into the back of the net to cut Barcelona’s lead in half midway through the […]

Loïc Rémy has bounced around for the entirety of his career. The French striker played for four clubs in France, including Lyon and Marseille, prior to moving to England in 2013 and joining Queens Park Rangers. Rémy flashed his brilliance for QPR, but he was loaned out to Newcastle United the following season. Just after the commencement […]

When someone says “college basketball,” the first thing that comes to most people’s minds is March Madness and the chaos of the NCAA Tournament. It is one of the few events in sports where virtually anyone has chance to win and an eight seed or higher has a chance to be crowned national champions. But […]
