Longhorns’ defense enough to stymie Southern Cal, hook the hardware
They have the last two Heisman Trophy winners, tons of fans and their logo on my door. However, they do not have my support for the national championship.
Now that may come as a surprise, but when it comes down to it, the University of Southern California will not win a third consecutive national title.
Forget suspensions, injuries and three-game losing streaks. That was the easy part.
For the University of Maine men’s ice hockey team, the fun has only begun.
In less than three weeks, the Black Bears will travel south to kick off the second half of the season.
The light at the end of this tunnel isn’t getting brighter anytime soon.
After their worst loss this season and the fourth in as many games, the University of Maine women’s basketball team has gone back to the fundamentals to find answers.

The ROC trip sold out on the first day, preventing off-campus students from signing up.

Students in professor Karen Horton’s freshman civil engineering technology class spent the last few weeks designing and building bridges out of pieces of file folder stock. On Tuesday morning, they destroyed them.
For the last five years, Horton’s class has held a competition to see which of these bridges can hold the most weight before they buckle under the pressure.
