I rock a similar look often, except I substitute a tight Banana Republic stretch t-shirt underneath instead of the turtleneck sweater. So I don't mind following his lead on fashion, … [Read more...] about Notre Dame’s Mike Brey donning Kilt for Charity

Linebacker Quentin Davie leads Northwestern’s strongest Position Group

By

From Nick Roach to Barry Gardner to Napoleon Harris, Northwestern has produced it's fair share of NFL linebackers recently. And 6-4, 230 pound Quentin Davie could be the next in line. He enters this fall as arguably NU's best player, and the member of the roster most likely to make an impact at the next level.

Winning month for the Baltimore Orioles? Yes, Really

Since new manager Buck Showalter took over the team on August 3rd, the O’s have been 16-10. The “Buck Bump” brought them up … [Read more...] about Winning month for the Baltimore Orioles?
