The AU Men's Cross Country team easily snagged its third straight Patriot League title Saturday at the PL championships in Lewisburg, Pa. Senior Pat McAdie seized the individual title by completing the 5-mile course in 25:37.00. But he was only a portion of the big story - one-quarter of it, to be exact.

By David Bergman | October 28

Soccer falls in pivitol match v. Bisons

By Ian Quillen | October 25

Column: Let the post-season wars continue

By Alex Wang | October 25

While early November will mark the end of the 2004 MLB season - one that may or may not feature a ticker-tape parade through Boston - it will also herald the beginning of a truly fascinating second season. The Hot Stove League, which lasts from November to March, is the name given to the off-season's flurry of big trades and exorbitant free-agent signings. It features the same nail-biting tension, high-stakes match-ups and record-breaking numbers as the regular season, even if those match-ups are between agents and general managers, and those numbers are usually preceded by dollar signs.

Sideline Scholars: The greatest game of our generation

By Ian Quillen | October 21

8:15 p.m.: As I sit down to watch the last game of this bizarre series, I have no clue what to expect. I don't think I've ever seen any game with such possible historic consequences before. The Red Sox could be the first team to come back from 3-0 down at the expense of the Yankees. Wow. 2-0-0-4 is hard to chant. What could happen in Game 7 to top this thing off? A Sox win would do it I guess.
