Concordia has a new secret weapon for our athletics program– Scott Savor, the new strength and conditioning coach. His job in a nutshell: improving performance of Concordia’s athletes. The strength and conditioning coach simply is responsible for training athletes in the weight room and motivating them to reach their potential in performance. Savor reigns from…
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…
The Cobbers visited Carleton’s turf for their game last weekend on Oct. 8, 2011, crushing the Knights into the ground with a final score of 26-7. By scoring the opening possession of the game, our Cobber men set the game off to a good start. The offense and defense played well the entire day, especially…
The attention of the sporting world will NOT be focused on Concordia College this weekend, or in these United States of America. (Gasp!) Think bigger—literally, picture some behemoth of a man with arms the size of small children, bulging shoulder and neck muscles, a barrel chest and tree trunk-like legs. Now, keep picturing this man:…
The Centrum came alive Sept. 30 with big band music blaring and students showing off their swing dancing moves. The event started at 8 p.m. with lessons and lasted late into the evening as students danced, some in rhythm with flawless moves and others stepping on toes but still enjoying learning the art of swing…

In the homecoming edition of the 1945 Concordian, the editorial was not about homecoming festivities, or even about daily cobber life. Rather, on the heels of World War II, the opinion of the publication…
I guess you could call me an Apple enthusiast. I regularly update Twitter and Facebook from my iPhone, and I use my Macbook Pro to do schoolwork, manage my fantasy football teams and keep up to date on, well, the next series of Macbook Pros. My iPod is never far from reach either. I manage…
I swear that the longer I go to school here the more ridiculous things I notice. For instance, clothes which I already notice fairly regularly, are becoming more and more apparent to me. And here at Concordia, I can say we are all some pretty sexy-looking kids. So, I cannot help but notice a few…
This Letter to the Editors was submitted by Emily Bosch and Mark Besonen, two Sophomores at Concordia College. I’m Emily, a Democrat, and I think Mark is an idiot… politically. I’m Mark, a Republican, and I think Emily is an idiot… politically. We spent our time during our Inquiry seminar shouting at each other and…
I have a confession to make. I may or may not be a huge fan of the recent chick-flick, “Bridesmaids.” There, I said it. I also may or may not have seen it three times in the theater (forking over $10 each time) and then memorized the exact day it came out on DVD. It…
