For the upcoming year, he’s upping the ante again, moving to a full privateer setup for his longer efforts on chunkier terrain.The Texas native found a home with PAS Normal Racing’s off-road team after he officially retired from the road, the final two seasons with the men’s Human Powered Health ProTeam. Success on gravel was immediate for Haga, scoring seven top five finishes, including second at Unbound Gravel 200 and third at The Traka 360.Following his surprising debut…
Fall Report Eric Sorenson – December 20, 2024 FULLERTON, Calif. — When I talked to Cal State Fullerton head coach Jason Dietrich a few weeks after his charges finished up their fall practices, he told me he wasn’t going to be easy on his team. He wasn’t going to be passive with them. In fact, Dietrich told me that the staff gave the players blank practice shirts from the get-go. No logo. No name. No nothing. If they were going to have the “Titans” etched across their chest they were going to have to earn it. That was the mindset…

By: Sean Crose I’ll be frank – this is one of the hardest calls I’ve had to make in my ten plus years of writing about boxing. The truth is that the first Tyson Fury-Oleksandr Usyk battle was so close – so completely back and fourth – that it’s hard to decide which man is more likely to win tomorrow’s rematch in Saudi Arabia. While it’s true Usyk won the first battle between these two future Hall of Famers last May, and won it fairly in my opinion, there were moments in the fight where Fury was simply dominating his…

The Golden State Warriors trade to acquire Dennis Schroder could have been an even bigger deal. The Warriors and Brooklyn Nets discussed potential variations that would have seen Cam Johnson also head from Brooklyn to Golden State. The Warriors would likely have had to include Jonathan Kuminga in a deal that returned Johnson. Golden State chose to make a simpler trade that brought back Schroder for now, while continuing to give them time to evaluate Kuminga. The young forward has recently put together a string of good games for Golden State.
Brandon Royval acknowledged before UFC 310 ever happened that Alexandre Pantoja retaining his title would make his path to another shot at the belt that much more difficult. Despite his standing in the division with wins over three out of the four fighters currently occupying spots behind him in the UFC’s rankings, the 32-year-old flyweight also has two past losses to Pantoja. But earning a third fight shouldn’t be impossible, especially considering Royval already took out former champion Brandon Moreno and previously undefeated Tatsuro Taira in his past two outings since falling to Pantoja in a title fight back in…
