One of my favorite lines and analogies in all of music — and all of popular culture, for that matter — comes from OutKast's 2001 smash-hit "So Fresh, So Clean." In it, Andre 3000 belts out the following verse:
A deep men's cross country team took fourth out of 44 teams at the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) Championships in Bristol, R.I.
The volleyball team will be heading to the NCAA Tournament for the third consecutive year after the selection committee announced yesterday that the Jumbos had made the eight-team New England Regional bracket, joining fellow NESCAC teams Amherst and Middlebury.
Once again, this time in Sunday's NESCAC Championship match, the Jumbos were unable to defeat the team that has bested them time and again this season — the Middlebury Panthers.
David Bendit wasn't about to let his past come back to haunt him. Not this time.
The No. 17 Tufts' women's sailing team raced to a sixth−place finish this past weekend at the Victorian Coffee Urn Regatta hosted by Conn. College, qualifying the Jumbos for a place in the Women's Atlantic Coast Championships (ACCs), hosted in St. Petersburg, Fla., in two weeks.
One of the most common means by which a batsman's proficiency is judged is by his batting average: how many runs a batsman scores per inning.
For most Americans, the extent of their hockey knowledge boils down to two names — Alexander Ovechkin and Sidney Crosby.
Despite a strong headwind, the men's varsity crew team secured a strong finish at this weekend's Head of the Fish Regatta, with its top four finishing 17th out of 31. The Head of the Fish marks the last competition the men will participate in until the spring season.
November is finally here. I, for one, am ecstatic about this news, as it means our long, collective national nightmare is over. What am I talking about exactly? Unemployment is still over 9 percent. Economic downturn is still (debatably) going on strong.
It took 53 seasons, three gut−wrenching World Series defeats and a three−run home run from the unlikeliest of heroes, but for the first time since moving from New York to San Francisco, the Giants are the champions of baseball.
The San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos are used to long road trips. They are two of the NFL's just six franchises not located in the Eastern or Central time zones.
Just like the passing yardage, the awards for Anthony Fucillo just keep piling on.
This past offseason was one of the most exciting in NBA history, with superstars swapping teams and drastically changing the league's landscape for the next decade. The dust has yet to settle and, though it's a far cry away, next summer will see another outstanding crop of players becoming free agents.
After a tough weekend on the Head of the Charles, the women's crew team finished its fall season on a high note on Sunday by earning five medals at the Head of the Fish Regatta in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.
On a chilly Halloween afternoon, the Bates Bobcats once again were the women's soccer team's boogeyman.
The volleyball team ended its regular season on a strong note by winning the Judges Classic at Brandeis this weekend. And in Saturday afternoon's final, the Jumbos throttled a team that had beaten them earlier in the season — the No. 2 team in New England, UMass Boston.
One of my favorite lines from Adam Sandler's 1998 film, "The Waterboy" — you know, back when Sandler was actually able to make an audience laugh consistently for a full−length movie — is when, at a postgame party, he orders a "scotch and a water, hold the scotch."
Midway through its 2010 campaign, the men's soccer team went on its longest losing streak of the season — three games — due in large part to an unfortunate propensity to give up early goals. The team eventually righted the ship, solidified the defense into one of the conference's best and punched its ticket to the NESCAC Championship.
