New ‘Mario’ game stellar
Nintendo’s biggest star – no pun intended – returned to action this summer in his latest intergalactic adventure, “Super Mario Galaxy 2.”
The game, a continuation of 2007’s “Super Mario Galaxy,” feels much the same as its predecessor. Mario has all the skills he had in the last game, including his trademark abilities to hurl fireballs and mak [...]
Getting back on track
Summer is always a great time for me, and boy, do I know how to exploit this season for all that it’s worth.
When I was a kid, I always thought of summer as the time of year when kids could stay up as late as they wanted, without any cause for concern. The next day would promise to be a great day to sleep in until noon, and then go to the poo [...]
Lego ‘Potter’ game conjur...
Legos – those tiny, endlessly fun, multi-colored bricks packaged in overpriced sets – now enjoy a successful and ever-expanding foray into video games.
In what can only be described as quite possibly the silliest thing ever to graze the pixels of my Sony television, “Lego Harry Potter” on the Playstation 3 proves to be a most addicting and en [...]
Fall puts spring to shame
In this week prior to school officially starting, very little is actually happening around campus. My guess is that you incoming freshmen are more focused on moving in and hating your new roommates.
Nevertheless, we can all breathe a sigh of relief considering that this, the fall semester, is more happening than the spring or summer semesters [...]
A potential powerhouse: Players belie...
Fort Hays State University senior quarterback Mike Garrison believes if there was a year for the football team to make a run, this would be it.
The Tigers are coming off their first-ever winning season since joining the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association in 2006, they return 21 seniors, a vast majority of the starters are back o [...]
Volleyball newcomers outnumber vetera...
As 21-year-old senior setter Whitney Liggett watched her volleyball team’s practice from courtside, she said she couldn’t help but feel a little old.
After a disappointing 7-27 record last year, the Fort Hays State University volleyball team returned only four players from last year’s roster and retooled itself with 14 freshmen and two junior [...]
Soccer coaches named
Fort Hays State University President Edward H. Hammond announced the hiring of two new soccer coaches on July 14.
Oliver Twelvetrees will head the men’s soccer team, while Craig Shaw will become the head coach of the women’s team.
Shaw, who is a native of Australia, coached at Ottawa University, and Twelvetrees, a native of Wales, is coaching [...]
Cross country poised for success
Returning all but one runner from 2009, Fort Hays State University cross country coach Jason McCullough said he has high aspirations for his squads heading into the 2010 season.
The men’s and women’s squads were each ranked fifth in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Association preseason poll, but McCullough said a top three finish for [...]
Kohler’s changes necessary
It is odd to see a team’s returning players outnumbered by newcomers four to one, and it typically does not bode well for the upcoming season.
That is the situation with the volleyball squad as second-year head coach Kurt Kohler brought back only four players from last year’s squad and recruited 14 freshmen and two junior college transfers to [...]
Oh Favre, grow up
August – the time for the start of a new school year and a new football season. Several things come to mind when I think about August football.
It’s preseason, and several teams are evaluating young talent and getting their starters penciled in before the regular season even starts.
Everyone’s undefeated, and fans are deciding if their team h [...]
