The Cobber Games
Some teams have competition amongst themselves over the course of a season. Teammates push each other to do better in practice, performing at meets, in games, and in everything related to their sport. The Men’s Cross Country team has something much better: the Cobber Games. The storied Cobber Games entered its 14th year of existence…

Bobby’s Sports Banter
The attention of the sporting world will NOT be focused on Concordia College this weekend, or in these United States of America. (Gasp!)

They finished in the top half of all of their tournaments this year, including a first place at the Cougar Invite in Morris, Minn….
Ultimately Appealing
A sharp clapping sound rings out as a disk collides with the floor in Olson Forum. The player holding the disc stands up and throws it to the far end of the court to the opposing team, signaling the start of the extensive dance across the floor chasing after a rounded piece of plastic. Such…

Glory, glory, Man United! Football is in full swing. No, not that football, but the other football. You know, football, mate. (How about I call it soccer? Soccer is in full swing.) And I love it. I love the passion, the rivalries, the glory that comes with watching your club pull off an improbable extra-time…
