Opinion: Rockies won’t need hot run this season
Last year was an anomaly. The Colorado Rockies won 14 of their last 15 regular-season games, including a one-game playoff, just to make the postseason. That’s not happening this year. Actually, that probably won’t happen for the rest of our lives. Last year won’t happen because it won’t need to happen. The Rockies aren’t the…

Opinion: Tigers unable to defend den when it counts
In the end, the Colorado College Tigers couldn’t protect their backyard. That was the mission at the beginning of the year. To make it to the Frozen Four, the Tigers wouldn’t have to leave the Front Range. “In Our Backyard” They wore it on their shirts. I’m sure they had it in their hearts and…

Opinion: Nuggets’ fate to be decided by their defense
DENVER – When the end of the season nears, the realization of what needs to be done becomes clear. For the Denver Nuggets, it has become quite clear. Denver has to win and win a lot. It has to play that thing called defense a lot less sporadically than it has been playing it. The Nuggets…

Opinion: Tip-toeing won’t take Tigers far in playoffs
ST. PAUL, Minn. – Home is all that’s left for the Colorado College Tigers. They spent too much time toiling around the Xcel Energy Center ice and not enough time playing what they like to call “Tigers’ Hockey” on Friday and Saturday. Blanked at the Final Five – sounds like the title of a bad…

ST. PAUL, Minn. – The Colorado College hockey team left the Western Collegiate Hockey Association awards ceremony with an impressive amount of hardware – and justifiably so.

Woods’ head and shoulders above all other golfers
The thing that makes Tiger Woods so good isn’t his well-exercised frame. It’s that roughly 3-pound mass of soft gelatinous-feeling matter between his ears. Woods’ mental capacity was displayed again by his reaction to his final shot at the Arnold Palmer Invitational on Sunday. In a tie with Bart Bryant, Woods needed a birdie on…

Opinion: Anchorage pushes CC to limit
The Colorado College Tigers hadn’t been to St. Paul and the Final Five since a loss to Denver in the finals of the 2005 tournament. Only this team’s seniors and its coaches have tasted that atmosphere. With a diving shot 2 minutes 58 seconds into overtime, a sophomore, Mike Testwuide, made sure this season’s Tigers…

Opinion: Widefield’s win just not complete
BOULDER – The Widefield Gladiators learned something about themselves Thursday night at the Coors Events Center – whether they wanted to talk about it or not or whether they were told not to talk about it. This should be a happy-go-lucky or hunky-dory column about the home team doing well. And the Gladiators did perform…
