Butler football - not nationally renowned, recognized, or ranked; but despite this, or the fact that we are the only Division-1 team on campus that is a member of the FCS championship subdivision, I can assure you that we play some ball! The Pioneer Football League is home to Dayton, Jacksonville, Davidson...

We had our last workout on Tuesday, and we don't have practice for Nicaragua until after finals. I'll still hit the weight room a few times before then, but now it's all about the student side of being a student athlete. Today after I shoot my last story for advanced reporting they're...

The Holiday season is upon us!! This is one of my favorite times of the year, despite the cold! In the spirit of the season the volleyball team decided to do a few projects to give back to the Indianapolis community!! I love doing stuff like this, especially as a team. This week we helped with a program...

I was so excited about getting to go back home for break. You know the usual is always great seeing my family, friends, and most importantly the 80 degree temperatures! Unfortunately only two out of three of those were very consistent this Thanksgiving break. It was warm for two days, and then it was...

We fought hard tonight, but it's the end of the season as of tonight. We finished 5th in conference, but lost in the quarter finals of the Horizon League tournament . We played Valpo and gave it our best. We were all sad that we lost, but we couldn't help but laugh on the bus at probably one...

For some reason it always seems that papers, exams, and other important things are all due around the same time. We have two more weeks left of regular season play before the conference tournament in Milwaukee. That means, I have three weeks to get my life together. Since we only had the Wright State...

So apart from the academic advantages of having a relatively small private university of only 4000 plus students, Butler is also the home some insanely good (division 1) athletic programs ... right now you're probably wondering "ok how do I know that this guy isn't just saying this to attract...
