Dave Walsh: Track And Field Is Back Outdoors Where It’s At Its Best
Dave Walsh writes: “Like most, I prefer a clear day. It can be cool, but not freezing cold. I don’t mind bundling up a bit, but I don’t want to sit and shiver. I like the game to be played on a dry surface. Slipping and sliding on a slick surface can alter the game.”

Dave Walsh: Game On! Do The UW Cowgirls Have Another NIT Championship Run In Them?

Dave Walsh: How ‘Bout Them Postseason-Bound Cowgirls?
Dave Walsh writes: The Cowgirls final record should be enough to get them in; 22 victories should be plenty to qualify. Add to that a runner-up finish, second place in the Mountain West Conference, and it seems the Cowgirls have done more than enough to play on.

Dave Walsh: Even Announcers Can Be Done Dirty During Border War Rivalry Games
Dave Walsh writes: Midway through the first half I got a chill. It took a few moments before I realized what had happened. Someone seated directly behind had done me dirty and poured a soft drink down the back of my neck. It was enough to cut a wide, cold swath down my back to my pants. I was drenched with cola from neck to rear end.
