This past week was not a good one for Minnesota sports fans. Since Oct. 1, the teams that call the Land of Lakes home have been a combined 3-5. Two of the three wins came from the Minnesota Lynx, who captured their fourth WNBA title in the last seven years. Not to take anything away…
Guess what? That’s right, the Vikings lost again. As is normal, I will attempt to rate where Minnesota fans should be at panic-wise after a 14-7 loss to the Lions. There’s one extra caveat this week: I didn’t technically watch the game. So here I go. Some of you might be questioning how I could…
When Juan Trevino Jr. stepped onto the field for Lumberton High School (Texas) in August, it was his first taste of high school football. Just a few short weeks later, the 15-year-old was confined to a hospital bed with a life-threatening brain injury sustained during practice. Trevino’s family told 12News that Trevino’s road to recovery…
It’s not too early to panic, Vikings fans. Coming off a season-opening 29-19 victory over the New Orleans Saints at home, Minnesota managed to do just about everything wrong in a 26-9 loss in Pittsburgh. Plainly, the Vikings regressed badly against the Steelers. The offensive line that completely outperformed even the highest of expectations in…
The 1981 Concordia football team did not lose. The Cobbers did not lose in the regular season, nor did they lose in the playoffs. Furthermore, when the Maroon and Gold hopped on a bus to make the long drive back from the NAIA Division II Championship Game in Austin, Texas, they remained undefeated. After the…
It’s 10 p.m. inside Concordia’s Olson Forum and groups of students play basketball at hoops at the two ends of the indoor gymnasium. With each layup, basket, and three-pointer — most of which clank off the rim and bounce to awaiting rebounders — the students blow off steam and get a much-needed respite from the…
The basketball courts in Memorial Auditorium are normally filled with Cobbers spending their nights playing pickup basketball with friends to pass the time, but on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, an entirely different group plies their trade in another sport: ultimate frisbee. The Valhalla Ultimate club is Concordia’s ultimate frisbee club. Ultimate is a fast-paced sport…
If you happen to be a Minnesota sports fan, you know playoff losses are hard. You know that the inevitable playoff collapse is just that. You know that something will bounce against your favor, someone will get injured, or some other intangible will suddenly tilt the playing field in your opponent’s favor. The most difficult…
Playoff preparations are in full swing for both Concordia hockey teams as they get set to take part in the MIAC tournament this weekend. Both the men’s and women’s teams will travel to the cities this weekend to compete for Concordia’s first NCAA tournament appearance in five years. The women’s hockey team found itself in…
The track inside Jake Christiansen Stadium may be covered in snow and ice, but for sophomore David Supinski and the rest of the track & field team, the season is in full swing. Supinski broke two Concordia indoor track records at a meet in Fargo two weeks ago. The Baxter, Minn., native ran his way…
