Talent: C The team had its ups and downs this season. The men’s program suffered a great blow when all but one member of last year’s stellar team didn’t return due to injuries and transfers. The only one left was Aaron Swanson who did quite alright for himself. He was the only male Calgary runner… Continue reading Cross Country: Report card time

This year’s performance by the men’s soccer team was a bit like the horny, class dork on prom night–it was their best chance of making it, but still they came up short. While the dork probably lacks style, charisma and social graces, the team lacked a ball winning midfielder, a threatening striker tandem and somebody… Continue reading Men’s Soccer: Report card time

Talent: C+ Good, but we’re gonna use the Bell curve on this one and unfortunately the Dinos were stuck right in the middle. It’s hard when you have suck-ups bringing the class average up, and the Dinos down. The Dinos finished off the season with a 5-5-2 record. That may seem about as good as… Continue reading Field Hockey: Report card time

The men’s volleyball Dinosaurs came into this season looking to improve their fifth-place finish in last year’s national championships, and they appear well on their way to doing just that. By winning nine of their first 10 regular season matches, they served notice to the entire CIAU that they are a force to be reckoned… Continue reading Men’s Volleyball: Report card time

Talent: A- Dinos in 2003! Sadly, it’s two seasons away. The Dinos have a young backcourt that is going to conquer the world, or at the very least, the CIAU. John Riad and Whit Hornsberger are the kind of dynamic duo that strike fear in the hearts of their opponents and make Regis and Kathie… Continue reading Men’s Basketball: Report card time

Talent: A The University of Calgary Women’s basketball team is entering Christmas break with a record of 8-2; good enough for a share of first place in the Canada West standings with the nation’s top-ranked team, the University of Victoria Vikings. The 2000/01 Dinos are absolutely stacked with talent, possibly more so than last year’s… Continue reading Women’s Basketball: Report card time

The "Just for Students" and "Admission and Registration" buttons located in the navigation bar have been retired to make way for two new buttons entitled "Student Information" and "Prospective Students." The… Continue reading Web time wasters
