Last week I discussed who will finish in the top five seeds of the Eastern Conference. This week let’s shift to the Western Conference which is more difficult analyze because of the fierce competition.
Memphis Grizzlies have been playing great this season and are currently first, but won’t finish first, because the reigning Western Conference Champions Oklahoma City Thunder will...
The NBA season is well under way and certainly has been a rodeo since the beginning of the year. I want to only zone in the Eastern Conference and on the teams I think will make the top five seeds.
The Miami Heat will not be edged out by the Chicago Bulls this year for the top seed. While the...
It is such a tragedy to see the National Hockey League become the next sport to go under another lockout because two sides can not come to an agreement. Sadly, this is not the first lockout that the NHL has gone through.

These past two weeks I covered a couple of our UC Riverside athletic teams, but this time I want to congratulate the NFL and the NFL Referees Association because they finally reached a tentative agreement that has ended a three-month lockout.
Yes, the importance of player safety was discussed during the three weeks the replacement referees were officiating, but what...
Last week I acknowledged our men’s and women’s cross country teams for their success and what they are capable this year and beyond. In this issue I feel it is important that we recognize our men’s and women’s soccer teams as they are on a great start to their seasons.
It is important as Highlanders that we come out to...
