Cardinal’s Corner

December 9, 2004 Sports

The playoff situation is beginning to take shape in the AFC. On the other hand, with the NFC, well, that is a different story. In the AFC, the Pats, Steelers and Colts are locks to win their division, with San Diego on the verge of becoming one. The Chargers have a two game lead over the Broncos; however with their history of late season collapses I am not ready to put them in that category yet.

December 9, 2004 Editorials

After all, I have so much passion for sports and for my hometown teams. Being Sports Editor served as a great outlet to not only talk passionately about what I love but was also a great way to take my mind out of school.

Farewell Editorial: Christina Brown

December 9, 2004 Editorials

Looking back on the Fall activities fair of my freshman year, I remember the concern I had as I attended.
