It was supposed to clear the picture and set the stage for the most anticipated presidential election in decades. Instead, questions
Pura, pitching lead softball into season
Coming off the most successful season in program history, the Cal Poly softball team has set the bar high. Higher still are the expectations the team has for itself.
The season begins at 3:30 p.m. against No. 2 Texas A&M, as the Mustangs travel to Palm Springs to take part in the Cathedral City Kickoff tournament.
The sports 'bucket list'
There were a few combining factors this past week that were the inspiration for this particular column.
As I near graduation this spring, I have been contemplating “bucket lists” in honor of the worst movie starring two of the greatest living actors. But rather than do something constructive and compile a list of things to do before I get out of school or map out career goals, I instead chose something near and dear to my heart: the top 10 sports events I would like to be a part of.
Search resumed for missing pilot
The search for a missing airplane resumed along the Kern and Santa Barbara counties Monday after weather limited their
Our time to change history
The nation stands on the precipice of change. When generations look back at history (assuming global warming doesn’t exterminate life in the next 100 years), future professors will point to this time and say, “That was the turning point.” As I’m sure you are aware, the California presidential primaries for both the Democratic and Republican parties are being held on Tuesday, along with 23 other states.

Men's tennis: Mustangs dominate Westmont in opener

Women's hoops: In first place no more
In a battle between Big West Conference heavyweights, the UC Santa Barbara women’s basketball team delivered a first-round blow that Cal Poly never fully recovered from.
Falling behind 9-2 early, Cal Poly trailed throughout, struggling to find a rhythm offensively in a 75-58 defeat Saturday afternoon at Mott Gym.
All that jazz
Music fans will have a chance to experience a decade’s worth of vibes in an unprecedented tour making a stop on campus tonight. What makes the event even sweeter is a deal benefiting students.
The Monterey Jazz Festival’s 50th Anniversary Band will play tonight at 8 p.
Get treated, not tricked
When it comes to theatrical options, San Luis Obispo will not be confused with Broadway anytime soon. That does not mean that there are no options for the drama-starved crowd, however; it just means that you may have to dig a little deeper – and enjoy musicals.
Playoffs would be a real payoff
As I sat down to watch the BCS National Championship between Ohio State and LSU last night, I couldn’t help but feel disappointed that no matter how great the outcome, the result would still leave me unsatisfied.
Does anyone in the country – fans and so-called experts (based on the analysts’ predictions of bowl games this year, their knowledge has been seriously called into question – pardon me for digressing) alike – think that these were the two best teams in the country?
