David McIntyre | The Beautiful Game

November 17

In my Sept. 30 column, I extolled the virtues of the new soccer video game, FIFA '12 and shared my excitement as I got ready to play my first game on the new version. And don't get me wrong - FIFA has proven to be a great game during these last few months, and my friends and I have gotten hours of enjoyment from it. But there was an even better game released on Oct. 21 that is even more realistic, dramatic and addicting than FIFA: Its name is Football Manager 2012.

After losing its No. 1, 2 and 4 starters to graduation on the heels of a subpar9−16 season, the men's squash team's prospects might look bleak. But with the right mix of returning talent and young freshmen looking to prove themselves, the Jumbos hope they can turn things around this winter.

Swimming & Diving | Jumbos gear up for another strong season in the pool

November 15

Every year, you can expect three things from the men's swimming and diving team: energy, depth and a top−three finish in the NESCAC. This year is no exception, and although the Jumbos lost eight members of their squad to graduation, including four All−Americans, they believe they have enough strength throughout their lineup to succeed.

Inside NFL | How the AFC West will be won

November 14

If a casual fan were given the opportunity, before this season, to choose a division in which every single team would have a negative point−differential after Week 10, a resounding number of people would have chosen the lowly NFC West.

Alex Prewitt | Live from Mudville

November 13

Now I realize that writing about Tim Tebow only perpetuates the cycle of the rest of the media writing, talking, blogging and childishly gossiping about Tebow. But to strike at the root of an issue, one must confront it head−on.

November 12

All too often in sports, coaches and commentators expel the tired cliche that practice makes perfect. Legendary Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi amended this phrase, telling his players that only perfect practice makes perfect.

The volleyball team won its first−round match in dramatic fashion this past weekend at the NCAA Tournament, but was unable to advance past the second round on Saturday. Entering as the No. 4 seed, the Jumbos edged Roger Williams on Friday night in a five−set thriller, but the next day, No.1−seeded Springfield put an end to Tufts' stellar 26−6 season with a 3−1 win.

Ben Kochman | The Wackness

November 8

I wasn't in the room when the Penn State Board of Trustees decided to fire Joe Paterno last night, but I doubt the scene Tuesday evening outside Paterno's house helped the coaching legend's cause.
