Feeling Superstitious about San Diego
Normally, I'm not a superstitious person. I have a black cat in residence who is constantly crossing my path, I don't shy away from picking up coins that are tails side up, on occasion I have opened umbrellas indoors, and 13 never seemed like a particularly ominous number to me. But my normally...
Virginia Volleyball Riding Momentum
It was a rocky start to the Virginia Cavaliers' volleyball season, which kicked off conference play by going 0-4. However, things are starting to look up for up and coming team, after the Hoos rattled of three straight victories – all ACC opponents – to bring their current record to a respectable...
Camille Little & the anatomy of a momentum swing: How the Storm beat the Mystics
I understand why some people consider basketball monotonous -- up and down the court, putting the ball through a rim at ten feet high, over and over again. However, I suppose what I find fascinating about watching and playing basketball is that at any given moment an event that might seem...

Is the Poinsettia Bowl a must win for Utah?
I haven't used this term all season because I hate to box the Utes into such a subjective statement. If they do actually lose, it's hard to really salvage anything out of that loss if you're putting it all on the line in your mind. With that said, I can't help but think the Poinsettia Bowl is a...
Nagasu Drama
Ok, I'm not sure how I feel about this article from the LA Times contending that reigning national champion Mirai Nagasu's problems this season are of her own making. Now, I'm sure that it is probably true that Nagasu should have rested her ankle instead of competing and performing so much this...
Beautiful Men Skating
Here is a Washington Post article that gives a little shout out to the premiere event at this year's U.S. Nationals - the men's event! It actually groups Jeremy Abbott with the favorites instead of only writing about Lysacek and Weir as some other articles I've seen have insisted on doing (they...
Pairs Preview!
I am going to predict Keauna McLaughlin and Rockne Brubaker will make this their second nationals in a row. I know that they didn't make it to the Grand Prix final and they had a lackluster second competition at Skate Canada, but the passion they had in their Skate America free skate showed me...
Senior Ladies Preview
Well, I missed the preview boat on the ice dancing. Tomorrow starts the ladies senior competition from the U.S. Championships in Cleveland, Ohio. I have absolutely no idea how to predict this one. I believe Philip Hersh guessed former Junior World Champion Caroline Zhang. Zhang is a really...
Pairs World Champs Capture Skate America
German World Champions Savchenko and Szolkowy righted the pairs skating world by winning Skate America on Saturday after scoring 116.69 in their free skate. It wasn't a perfect performance (side by side triples were off, as were spins, and they popped a throw), but it was very good and difficult...
