If you were at the softball games this past week, you saw a different team then what anyone has seen in the last couple of years. Somehow, someway, USD was able to sweep the 11th ranked team in the nation in Nebraska-Omaha. Then on Thursday, the Coyotes were able to take one out of two [...]
It’s that time of the year.
Time to select The Volante Male and Female Athlete of the Year.
Although voting ends tomorrow, you have time to vote for the male (here) and female (here) winners.
Let me tell you, narrowing the final list down to five nominees was as hard as it’s been in my four years at [...]
Who will be the back up behind Noah Sheppard and why is it important? Well, it is important because if the starter goes down with an injury, you want to know you have a backup you can trust until the starter is healthy. That statement is true at any level.

The song “Gold digger” by Kanye West was just playing, and with families at the Dome, is it appropriate? Along with most of the rap played? Personally, I don’t mind and I enjoy the song, but the thought crossed my mind.
All of the coaches are wearing a beige colored button down shirt or windbreaker. I [...]
The newspaper guys were just talking about North Dakota and made some comments about them. I am sure this one is going to come back to bite me someday, but someone said if Canada did take over North Dakota, what would they be called? Well, they came up with South Saskatchewan would be the new [...]
Yes, the spring game has a halftime.
Quick thought from the first “half” of action.
The battle for the number one running back is between sophomore Matt Lee and redshirt freshman Chris Ganious. Both have looked impressive in practice, and both have had their moments in the spring game. Lee looks like he has the edge though [...]
I should have led off with this, but oh well. The scoring system is different in the spring game than in a regular game. Here is the run-down:
Defensive Stop-2 points
Turnover- 6 points
First Down- 1 point
Field Goal- 3 points
Touchdown- 6 points
That is the scoring summary. The second string offense just scored a touchdown, as Matt Lee [...]
The game is underway and the offense leads the defense 3-2, they were down 2-0 though so they have started to find a rhythm. It is their first trip inside the red zone for the spring game.
One person who has caught my eye, and many around me, is sophomore defensive end Abe Booker. Booker has [...]
While it comes with the tag line that every game is subject to change, the Coyotes released the 2008 football schedule.
It features 11 games, including five at home, all against NAIA opponent. The six road games see the Coyotes face five D-I Football Championship Subdivision schools.
The Coyotes will open the Division I era Aug. 30 [...]
And who can blame him?
If you’re a coach in his position, if you were offered a job with a close friend at a Division I school with significantly better facilities, more job security (not to mention a nice pay increase), wouldn’t you do the same thing?
Yeah, you would. Just as Brian Lamppa did Tuesday, resigning [...]
