In defense of bounty hunting
This time of year, I focus a lot more on baseball and tend to ignore everything relating to football. But there is one story line that I found interesting. Over the past month, the story regarding the New Orleans Saints and their “bounty hunting” has been unfolding. In case you missed it, coaches and players…
A working relationship
Garrick Larson and Marv Roeske have been working together for over 18 years now as the men’s and women’s cross country and track and field coaches at Concordia College. “That’s almost as long as I’ve known my wife,” Marv said. Some would even joke that this pair is like a married couple themselves. “Marv’s the…
Twins offseason overview: almost time for baseball
Spring training is in full swing, and in two weeks we will begin our regular season! This is the time of year where Twins fans like me can forget about that dreadful 99-loss season a year ago and focus on what we can do to win the American League Central Division. It was a long…
Congrats to Cobber women
Congratulations to the Concordia Women’s Hockey team for making it all the way to the NCAA Quarterfinals. Despite their 5-2 loss to #1 ranked RIT women’s hockey team, “the head coach Brett Bruininks thought his team played well…,” according to gocobberblog. “The Concordia women finished with a 15-6-5- record.

Let the madness begin
Finally! The snow is receding, the ice is melting, the birds are chirping… Typically, this means that baseball is just around the corner. But there is one event that commands our attention before we focus on America’s pastime, and that is the wonder and excitement of Men’s College Basketball. Selection Sunday was last weekend, and…
Bobby’s sports banter
How do those old playground rhymes go? Oh yeah, like this: “Girls rule; boys drool.” Or the ever-classic “boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider; girls go to college to get more knowledge.” But between those days of name calling-equality underneath the monkey bars and now, a lot happened: girls got cooties, boys got…
Cobber women skate to victory
The Cobber Women’s hockey team is having one of the best seasons in program history, and they look to continue that success going forward. Occasionally, numbers and statistics don’t make sense upon first glance. For example, the women’s hockey team has been nationally ranked since Nov. 28, 2011. They have been in the top ten…
Bobby’s sports banter
When you think of sports, you probably think some of the following: body paint on a middle-aged man’s beer belly; chest-bumps; foam fingers that read “#1”; a 300-plus-pound behemoth of an athlete nicknamed Tiny; and religion. Whoa, wait; double-take. Religion? That’s exactly right. After the 2011-2012 National Football League season, it’s probably true for many…
