Pedroia's MVP Signals End of an Era Congratulations to the 2008 AL MVP Dustin Pedroia. He is the first Red Sox player to be named MVP since 1995 (Mo Vaughn) and first second baseman since 1959 (some guy).

The Notre Dame of old is gone.
To paraphrase Rick Pitino: Knute Rockne, Frank Leahy, and Ara Parseghian are not walking through that door. This team is not going to win one for the Gipper.
Fighting Irish fans better get used to it. The most storied college football program in all the land has become a travesty; a school once steeped in tradition has stooped lower than any thought imaginable.

For the past three semesters, I have enjoyed some great experiences and moments that have occurred through intramural sports, but sadly this year it seems as if the program has fallen apart. Intramurals are all about rivalries and having fun, but can anyone say they have enjoyed their soccer, basketball or even softball games this fall? Not to mention, football?
At the beginning of the current semester, director of intramurals, David Begley, created a Wheaton webpage on a college intramural website called IMleagues.

It has been seven years since Shea Ralph played a game at UConn.
In that time, there have been Final Fours and National Championship runs, tears of joy and tears of heartbreak.
Ralph has shed her share of tears - she won a national championship as part of the 2000 team, and she ended her career on the ground with a knee injury in the 2001 Big East tournament.

Around this time last year, the Eagles were ranked second in the nation when Florida State rolled into town. Then they completely collapsed, losing at home to the Seminoles, 27-17. Boston College's BCS title hopes ended, and its ACC championship dreams flat lined.
