Column: Kruszin’ with Krusz

tkrusz8 years ago8 years ago03 mins

There’s really no easy way to put it – Rhody football got torched at Stony Brook on Saturday in what would have been a pivotal win for the Rams. Quite possibly, the loss means that the Rams may have to wait until 2019 to harvest the fruits of all of their labor. After the loss,…

Column: Up and down start for hockey

nreilly8 years ago8 years ago03 mins

The three and three record that Rhode Island Hockey has started their season with is anything but run of the mill. The Rams started the season dominant, taking both games on the road against Towson, outscoring them 18-0 over the two game road trip. Rhode Island then had their first homestand of the year facing…

Welcome back for the third installment of my weekly Colonial Athletic Association football pick-em. Last week I went a solid .500 on the picks, going 3-3 in the six predictions, which brought my yearly win loss total to 6-7. Let’s take a look at this week’s matchups. In the first preview of my third pick-em,…

Column: Kruszin’ With Krusz

tkrusz8 years ago8 years ago04 mins

“We found a different way to win the football game.” Jim Fleming couldn’t have been more accurate about URI Football’s 23-16 victory at Harvard. The Rams went up to Cambridge on Friday night and took home their first road win from the Crimson in program history. The last time they played at Harvard Stadium, they…

Column: News is back and better than ever

iweiner8 years ago8 years ago03 mins

Thank you, Donald Trump. Thank you for bring news back to the forefront of the minds of the American people, for revitalizing print newspapers at a time they were dying and for giving reporters an endless number of stories to cover. Entering college, I had already decided that I wanted to get a degree in…

Kruszin with Krusz: A hot take on Rhody Football

tkrusz8 years ago8 years ago03 mins

The URI football team has been playing out of their minds lately. A lot of that can be credited to quarterback JaJuan Lawson. Since the second half of their opening night win at Delaware, Lawson has been on fire. He’s completed 53 of 72 passes for 830 yards and nine touchdowns, while only throwing one…

Column: Breaking out of the millennial stereotype

chowarth10 years ago10 years ago03 mins

  Millennials are self-centered, addicted to their phones, have a false sense of society, are unaware of the political system and, my favorite, lazy. I’ve heard this my whole life. It usually comes from the direction of older generations, more specifically from those who don’t spend time or understand young people. The young people I…

What’s the move? Glamorous millennial post-grad plans

afarrelly10 years ago10 years ago04 mins

  If you wanted to meet for lunch on May 23, I can’t.  I have plans.   I’m going to roll myself out of bed that day after my college graduation, pack my fuzzy blanket, wine glasses, coffee pot and books into my car, and move out of my house in Eastward Look.   As…

Column: Enjoyment over experience

jmarrocco10 years ago10 years ago04 mins

  It’s safe to say I wouldn’t be where I am today without the Cigar. It sounds trite, like the usual moral spouted off at the end of an 80’s movie. It’s true, though. I was told from the start that the only first-hand experience I would get in journalism would be at the Cigar….

My roommate is wrong – we should all be rooting for the Warriors

chowarth10 years ago10 years ago03 mins

The other night my roommate told me he wasn’t rooting for the Golden State Warriors to break the record for the best record ever in an NBA season. I knew he was wrong for rooting against them, but at the time, I couldn’t come up with a decent argument. But, now I have. I’m writing…
