Aaaaaaand we’re back! It’s been a solid month since my last article, and instead of finding football clarity over that time, fans have watched the NFL head straight into utter madness. The good kind of madness, but madness nonetheless. Blake Bortles is running like Michael Vick in Madden 04, and has carried the Jaguars right…
Usually, college wrestling meets are reserved for members of collegiate teams. However, the Finn Grinaker Cobber Open, held Nov. 18, allowed for wrestlers not affiliated with a school to enter as unattached contestants. Although Derrick Grieshaber, a graduate assistant athletic trainer at Concordia College, had not wrestled since his sophomore year as an undergraduate in…

According to the NCAA, just over one million high school students play football for their respective schools each fall. But the number of those players that actually move on to a higher level of competition is incredibly miniscule. Some 73,660 athletes competed in all levels of NCAA football in the 2015 season — the most…
For many, Thanksgiving is a time of celebration, and the members of the Concordia College wrestling team went into Thanksgiving break with some early season success to compliment their holiday cheer. The Cobbers opened their season with a 22-18 win over Minnesota State University Moorhead on Nov. 14, then placed seven wrestlers in the top-four…
After finally winning a Best Bet last week, it’s time for me to make picks based on zero football knowledge! This week I will be making my picks based on one simple question: which team has the best jerseys? (Shoutout to Erik Manning). As you will read in the rest of my picks this week,…
Though the team success of the Concordia College swimming and diving team has been limited by its roster size over the last few seasons, a number of individuals and relay teams have managed to set records for the Cobbers. Between 2016 and 2017, seven school records were broken. Although only one of those record setters,…
On Friday, Nov. 3, 12 Concordia students piled into one of two vehicles for an eight-hour drive to Milwaukee — but that wasn’t the beginning of their story. Less than a week earlier, Moshe Mukori—a sophomore from Harare, Zimbabwe—got approval from the school to bring his club handball team on the trip to Wisconsin for…
