For some reason, Olympic prop bets have not caught on. We get hundreds for the Super Bowl, but we do not even get to bet on what color board Chloe Kim is going to use. This is a disgrace, and I am here to fix it. I have compiled a list of Olympic prop bets…
It is midnight on a cold February day and Concordia’s head football coach Terry Horan is pulling into the driveway after a long day at work. He has just spent the past few hours driving home from having dinner with a recruit in Chanhassen. Earlier in the day, he had been at Concordia visiting with…
Concordia’s head baseball coach Chris Coste will once again don a Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks’ jersey, only this time, he will wear it as a coach.

Though Toivonen was absent from tennis practice at Concordia, he still had…
The Super Bowl just happened. It was an amazing game. Everybody knows defense wins championships, but offense makes watching games somewhere between two and one billion times more enjoyable.

For some, hockey is just a sport. For others, it is a way to bring their family closer together, even when games played in different cities physically separate them. Siblings Maddie and Jake Ellingson, both sophomore hockey players at Concordia, have been skating since they could walk. Growing up in Brainerd, Minnesota, winters were spent…
