Column: NCAA penalties miss mark

By Max Sternberg | Sep. 28, 2012

Penn State more than deserved the punishments that were handed down against its beloved football program. Say what you want about jurisdiction and the slippery slope, but the bottom line is that the NCAA needed to come down strong on PSU to show that nothing is right with a culture and a football program that values winning over the protection of children’s safety.

UW prepares for Martinez

By Ryan Hill | Sep. 26, 2012

The amount of criticism senior Nebraska quarterback Taylor Martinez received last year was arguably at its peak after their 48-17 defeat in Camp Randall Stadium on Oct. 1st, 2011. His one-and-a-half quarters of solid play was short-lived to say the least. The Cornhuskers jumped out to a 14-7 lead just five seconds into the second quarter, but by the time “Jump Around” came on, the game was already decided.

Saints’ poor start highlights coaching importance in NFL

By Matt Masterson | Sep. 24, 2012

As long as sports have been around, there has been a “chicken or the egg” type argument about who really makes a team, the players or the coaches. Is it the coaches’ preparation, motivation and schemes that set up a team for victory, or does on-the-field talent truly trump all else?
