Not only do journalists have to get the story right, but we have to been completely honest and forthright about how we gather our information.

The final hurrah

Chris Reinoos, Editor-In-Chief
January 24, 2013

Maybe it’s just because I’ve been doing a lot of looking back recently, but it seems as though these last few years of college have gone by faster than the first few. And now, just as it feels like I’m settling into a groove, I’ve come to my last semester here at UW-Eau Claire. And I think I’m... Read more »

So, yeah … about those picks last week. Have you guys ever heard of a mulligan? Sometimes used in a round of golf for a really bad shot?

Now that NBA All-Star Weekend has mercifully ended, it seems like a good time to hand out some mid-season awards. The compressed season has given us lots of basketball to talk about in a few short months and some performances worthy of particular attention.

Can you feel it? Linsanity is sweeping the sports nation

Chris Reinoos
February 15, 2012

This thing is getting ridiculous, in the best way possible. On Tuesday, New York Knicks point guard Jeremy Lin hit a game-winning three with 0.5 seconds left to lift his team to a 90-87 victory over the Toronto Raptors.
