After a 21-year hiatus and a half-decade’s worth of rumors about a return, the city of Los Angeles once again has an NFL team that will call it home. That’s right: The formerly ex-Los Angeles Rams can officially be deemed the “new” Los Angeles Rams as a motion to relocate, headed by team billionaire owner Stan Kroenke, has officially...
Safe to say, the UC Riverside men’s tennis team has not been a model of success since the program’s inception roughly eight years ago, having yet to sniff a winning regular season. However, it is widely accepted in sports that the road toward development after multiple losing seasons is a lengthy one — one that is stretched even further...
With a win over the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos, the UC Riverside women’s basketball team has continued to carve their path toward a Big West title. The team’s five-game winning streak to open conference play is the longest such streak since the Highlanders won eight in a row to start their inaugural 2001-02 conference season.

The UC Riverside men’s basketball team beat CSU Northridge, 75-72, on Saturday, Jan. 16. This was the Highlanders’ first win of conference play and there is no doubt that it was much needed. After entering the conference season already on the heels of a two-game losing streak, the Highlanders extended that out to five games in rapid fashion. At...
As tennis season comes upon us, it's crucial to note the successes and (mostly) failures that the UCR men’s tennis team has had in the past. Last year was a rough season, where the Highlanders went a mere 4-16. So far the program has not had a winning season in its eight-year history, but given that the team has...
Lionel Messi is the greatest player of all time. Argue about it all you want, but facts are facts. Being considered the greatest of all time takes a little more than just talent.
