You undergrads are so vain you probably thought the last sentence was about you. I’m talking to first-year Law students! You aspiring advocates [...]

Do you ever wonder why in those “naked in front of a roomful of people” dreams you always have to be the naked one? Cast your exhibitionist paranoias aside, my friend, because it’s voyeuristic sailing from here on out. Since you’re a pussy and I’m a martyr who just happens to have a lot of [...]

— Offensive guard Alex Fletcher
“We prepared all week. Some of us prepared our whole lives. It just feels great to be able [...]

Player of the game: Lots of candidates here, but redshirt sophomore quarterback Tavita Pritchard gets the nod. Named the starter last Sunday after T.C. Ostrander suffered a seizure, Pritchard deftly guided an offense that hadn’t scored a touchdown in nine straight quarters into the end zone twice in the final period. His mobility, poise and [...]
