LOCAL: Lady Blues Basketball

Washburn's Lady Blues Basketball team will be tipping off their first home game against Tabor College
Nov 14. at 7 p.m. at Lee Arena.

The team is ranked No.1 in the MIAA preseason polls and ranked at No. 11 in the WBCA polls. What does that mean? Washburn has four returning starters and are adding two experienced Division I players to the mix. The Team went an overall 22-7 last year and finished second in the MIAA with a record of 17-5.

The Lady Blues have traditionally been a winning program and this year will be no different. Go out and get behind them as they take on Tabor!

Touchdown Celebrations: How much is too Much?

Ladies! What does this video remind you of? Have an older brother? Or get stuck hanging out with the boyfriend and his friends sometimes? For every great play a celebration is deserved, that's what the sport and competition is all about. However, there has to be a line drawn somewhere, and I say the line lies at going over ten seconds, and involving props!

 But the commissioner of the NFL draws the lines elsewhere. These players aren't just displaying their unsportmanlike conduct, they are blowing thousands of dollars while doing it! The estimated total for the 2011 season is already racking upwards to a million dollars and eleven of those fines have been cited by the commissioner for celebration. In my opininon, if you're an athlete and your looking for a way to get rid of your money, donating to a good cause would probably be a better idea. Not to mention, philanthropy always looks good when your trying to get in the Hall of Fame, which hopefully in this case Chad Ochocinco and Terrell Owens won't be making it in any time soon.

We Have a Pants Problem

Well Ladies and Gents! If you haven't been keeping track of the World Series, the Rangers lead the series 3-2 as the teams head back to Saint Louis to finish up the series. The Cardinals, have given the Rangers a run for their money, and have the home field advantage for Game Six which starts Wednesday at 7:05 p.m. If the Rangers win tomorrow they will have won the Series for the first time in their franchise history! Who are you rooting for?

Anyways onto the more important topic! Uniforms! What happened to the tight baseball pants of the past? The look of the baseball pants has slowly revolutionized before our eyes ladies and we didn't even see it happening! Instead of wearing their pants tight and to the knee, now baseball players wear them loose and baggy around the shoe. Not only does this take all the fun out of baseball for the ladies, but the uniformity of the team looks way off, dare I say sloppy! Although I encourage individuality and comfort I still say BRING THOSE TIGHT PANTS BACK!! =)

Baseball, Baseball, BASEBALL

Hello Ladies! It’s October and you know what that means? Once again, it’s that time of the year when everyone who’s not actually interested in baseball finally cares. Let's not jump on any bandwagons but we should at least be aware of who is playing. 

Tonight the Saint Louis Cardinals will face-off with the Texas Rangers, who are returning to big stage for the second year in a row, and a heavy favorite to win the Series with their stacked line up. The Game starts at 8 PM Eastern Time. If you don't have the time to dedicate to a four hour baseball game, but still want to impress a guy with a quick recap of the game, you could also check Sportscenter for the scores and highlights on ESPN TV Network.
