Two local teams advanced last night in their conference tournaments. One did not. The CU Buffs men's basketball team advanced the Pac-12 Championship last night and the UNC Lady Bears advanced to Big Sky Championship. The CSU men were bounced from the Mountain West Tournament last night by top-seeded San Diego State.
The CU Buffs and CSU Rams are both one step closer to the Big Dance. Both men's basketball teams won last night in their conference tournaments. Colorado State will play in the Semi-Final of the Mountain West Tournament tonight the University of Colorado will play in the Semi-Finals of the Pac-12 Tournament tonight!
It's tournament time for college basketball. The Mountain West, Big Sky, and Pac 12 tournaments are all being held this week. The CSU Rams men's team and the CU men are both considered bubble teams for making the Big Dance, so they both need to win at least a game or two or three in their conference tournaments.

Matt Kenseth held off Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Greg Biffle to win his 2nd Daytona 500. The race started under the lights last night because of number of rain delays, but didn’t finish until early this morning because of a fiery crash involving Juan Pablo Montoya. NASCAR delayed the race for 2 hours after Montoya slammed into a Jet Dryer Truck during a caution.

Last year's race was won by20-year-old rookie Trevor Bayne. It shocked everyone! The hottest driver at the end of last season was Tony Stewart and he ended up winning the Sprint Cup! So who is it going to win at Daytona this year?
It's become a very controversial issue in a very short time. Should CSU build a new on campus stadium and if so, where? There are supporters of a new stadium and there supporters of keeping Sonny Lubick Field at Hughes Stadium. Colorado State has announced series of 10 public forums to collect input regarding the proposed on-campus stadium. Registration is required!
Wanting to stress that some people have questioned Jay Cutler’s toughness, Fox Sports ran a graphic on air of a series of headlines — including “Cutler Lacks Courage” — during the Chicago Bears season opener that criticized Cutler in Chicago for leaving last season’s NFC Championship game last season with an injury.

In a Friday game at the Little League World Series, Huntington Beach, California pitcher Braydon Salzman was almost smacked in the forehead with a line-drive ball. It would’ve surely been a scary event (just ask this minor leaguer) — were it not for the brim of his ball cap.
While the impact did knock Salzman to the ground, slow-motion replay shows his cap’s bill took the brunt of the impact, leaving a noticeable dent.
