Colorado’s Ralphie V grand entrance: She doesn’t want to be held back

by MECU

There’s nothing more fitting for a team than a mascot. It symbolizes the heart of the team. A central focal point for the team, school, fans, alumni to revolve around. And if you just happen to have the best, kick-ass (literally) mascot in the nation, then all the better. I don’t just say that because [...]

Congress wants investigation into BCS for anti-trust: Still no playoffs.

What Winning Cures All is all about

by MECU

The name of the website, Winning Cures All, comes from my experience of trying to justify contracts looking forward and in hindsight. Clint Hurdle (I know, not college football related) of the Colorado Rockies was given a contract extension at the start of the 2007 season, for which I and many other didn’t think he [...]
