Inside the NHL | Aging Detroit Red Wings still getting it done

November 29

At the quarter mark of the NHL season, we know a few truths about the league: The Devils are awful, the Bruins' goaltending has come down to earth, and the Penguins are finally living up to their talent. The Los Angeles Kings are proving how youth can be effective, and the Blue Jackets are surprisingly decent. And, perhaps most bafflingly, the Detroit Red Wings are yet again refusing to show their age.

Ice Hockey | Late goal caps comeback against Brockport College

November 29

After a tough loss in its home opener against Curry College on Nov. 23, the ice hockey team aimed to stabilize its play over Thanksgiving weekend at the Rutland Herald Invitational in Rutland, Vt. The Jumbos ended up with much to give thanks for, including a thrilling comeback against Brockport College (N.Y.) and a dominating 6-3 win over Becker College (Worcester).

Inside International Soccer | Spurs charge into Champions League knockout stages

November 28

In English football there was last year a changing of the guard at the top of the Premier League table. The stranglehold of the perennial big four of Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool on the top of the standings was broken as Liverpool, whose season was rife with inconsistencies and injuries, faltered to a disappointing seventh place. In Liverpool's place was the resurgent Tottenham Hotspur, which charged into fourth place and, with it, a place in the Champions League.

Alex Prewitt | Live from Mudville

November 22

In a generation inundated with Facebook, BlackBerrys, Tweets and twits, we seem to have lost touch with history. Sure, dates get robotically memorized in order to adequately pass tests — in 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue — but these lessons hardly bear any realistic application once class gets out. It may come up once or twice in a bar conversation or maybe if you become a high school history teacher. That's about it.

Inside the NFL | Favorites emerge: The Daily power ranks the NFL

November 22

Each year in the NFL, trends emerge and juggernauts show their strength by Week 9. Like every season, we see a few upstarts, such as this year's Chiefs and Buccaneers, who show that they can beat up on weaker teams and hang with the usual top dogs. Bandwagon picks like the 49ers and Cowboys have shown their flaws and have been exposed as pretenders, while preseason favorites like the Vikings have shown, well, inappropriate things — the kind of things that don't equal success on the gridiron. Teams that pound the football on the ground still don't get the ‘W' that teams with elite QBs do, and concussions are still making us wonder whether we'll be watching two-hand touch football in 10 years.

The men's and women's cross country teams collectively sent two athletes to the NCAA Div. III Cross Country Championships on Saturday, and while each fared well, neither felt they performed as strongly as they could have.

Ice Hockey | Historic victory gives way to harsh drubbing

November 21

The opening weekend for the ice hockey team in some ways mirrored the unpredictability of the sport itself. After scoring a historic shutout against the defending conference champions on the road, the Jumbos were similarly swept aside by an even greater margin at Williams, returning home with a 1−1 record after the first weekend of the new season.

Men's Squash | Inexperienced squad hopes to continue winning ways

November 18

In very few sports do Tufts teams compete with and beat Div. I schools on a regular basis. The men's squash team, however, is one of those teams, maintaining a ranking in the top 25 nationally for the past 10 seasons alongside D−I powers such as Stanford, Brown and Northwestern.
