If you’re a Cowboys fan, then you probably believe every year is their year and this...
The title of “Undefeated since 1976” may be relinquished by UCR sooner rather than later. With the school expanding at a fervent pace, the time is ripe for the return of UCR football. Prior to the folding of the team in 1975, the Highlanders had posted an undefeated league record and won the conference championship in the previous two...
Any storybook comeback in sports must come at the peril of a team that gives up a monumental lead. Credit must be given where it’s due, and there’s no question that the Patriots played phenomenal football in the past two Super Bowls they participated in.

In the modern NBA, where stretch bigs and 3-point shooting are priority, size can be overlooked quite a lot. Size in this case matters, as the San Antonio Spurs are set up to be the perfect kryptonite for the now Kevin Durant-less Golden State Warriors.
San Antonio can pound the ball in the paint with big men LaMarcus Aldridge and...
“We’ve done our time here. We know we are worth more and we are going to prove it.” These were the words of UC Riverside janitor Percy Ratchford as he stood in front of an auditorium of UCR staff and faculty to announce the resignation of the school’s 103 janitorial employees. “We simply can no longer allow our talents...
UC Riverside (5-11, 0-2) fired men’s basketball Head Coach Dennis Cutts on Monday, Jan. 1 after a disappointing 5-9 start to the season. Cutts’ record as head coach during his five-year tenure was 50-87, with a 21-41 record in Big West competition.
