Bulls lose badly to weak Rice

December 1, 2024 general

Sunday, 3 a.m. For Alex Golesh, there is more work to do. There is no argument that Golesh, coach of the USF Bulls, has elevated his team in his two seasons. But Saturday put a qualifier on the progress. The Bulls lost to Rice. Let that sink in for a minute. Rice. Content beyond this […]

Point measures up to overtime again

November 30, 2024 general

Saturday, 4 a.m. On his worse days, the ones where he is hurt, or weary, or ailing, Brayden Point is a fine hockey player. The rest of the time, he is sensational.

Bucs need to beware of stumble

November 29, 2024 general

Friday, 4 a.m. For the Tampa Bay Bucs, this qualifies as a trap game. The trappiest, perhaps. The Carolina Panthers have lived in the cellar for a while now.

Bucs dominate Giants for easy win

November 25, 2024 general

Monday, 4 a.m. Maybe. Just maybe. The Tampa Bay Bucs didn’t overtake Atlanta on Sunday. They didn’t clinch the playoffs. They didn’t heal off their injured players.

Bucs could start a winning streak

November 23, 2024 general

Saturday, 4 a.m. What we have here is the movable object against the resistible force. The Tampa Bay Bucs’ secondary, toasted and tattered, has a fresh new challenge from the bench of the New York Giants.
