How common is it for athletes in the national spotlight to have to play with misspelled names on their jerseys? Pretty common if Sunday was any indication. If we were talking intramural sports at the local middle school, it might not be as shocking …
Oregon State is known for its black and orange colors. If you plan on watching the Beavers play basketball and don’t recognize them, you won’t be alone. Oregon State will be wearing turquoise uniforms against Texas Southern to raise awareness for …
BYU beat Utah State on Wednesday night 78-72 to go to 2-0 on the season. Cougars star player Jimmer Fredette had an off night shooting just 9-for-21 while Utah State was its typical sharp self going 7-for-11 on threes, but BYU still pulled off the …
