Fall Report Eric Sorenson – November 5, 2024 Often times over the years I have referred to Cal Poly as a team that “toils in anonymity up in the Central Coast of California.” And it’s kinda true. When I mention programs that are RPI-addled due to their geographic isolation, Cal Poly is one of my poster boys for this unseemly process. But there has also been a ton of off-the-beaten-path success under long-time head coach Larry Lee over the years. For instance, in the last six seasons the Mustangs have a 12-7 record vs. Long Beach State, in the last 10…
England head coach Steve Borthwick has named an unchanged XV for his team’s second autumn clash with Australia on Saturday, but the switching of starting centres Ollie Lawrence and Henry Slade could yet be a highly significant moment for the national side.Borthwick saw his team beaten 24-22 by New Zealand in their November opener last Saturday in what was a game they really should have won.Lawence and Slade began the All Blacks clash at inside centre and outside centre respectively, but will change positions for Australia. While the swap might seem minor, England will undoubtedly hope it will give Bath…

By: Sean Crose People can laugh all they want, but the truth is UFC star Conor McGregor technically IS a professional boxer. He lost a mega fight to an aging Floyd Mayweather back in 2017, after all. His 0-1 boxing record may not qualify the man to be viewed as a boxing expert, but there’s no doubt the fiery Irishman IS qualified to speak as a major fighter. He’s a legend of the UFC, after all. On top of that he’s one of the few people on earth who truly knows what it’s like to engage in a superfight with…
With its ‘Hello Sunshine’ engraving, colourful accents and playful seaside vibe, the new My Girl putter captures the spirit of Scotty Cameron’s favourite beach town, as well as the essence of a modern performance-focused blade. For the 23rd variation of this very special putter, Cameron is introducing a custom-made Catalina which is precision milled from solid 303 stainless steel. Nearly-face balanced, the putter features a mid-bend, 34-inch stepless steel shaft. The California sunshine is celebrated with vibrantly illustrated graphics, including sunbeams and a setting sun on the topline serving as a creatively positioned sight dot. Engraved painted seagulls in the…
The NBA has issued a three-game suspension for Joel Embiid following their investigation into an incident involving a reporter. Embiid shoved Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Marcus Hayes following the Philadelphia 76ers’ loss on Saturday against the Memphis Grizzlies. Embiid’s suspension will start with the next regular season game he is able to play. Embiid was potentially set to play in Wednesday’s game at the Los Angeles Clippers. “Mutual respect is paramount to the relationship between players and media in the NBA,” Joe Dumars said. “While we understand Joel was offended by the personal nature of the original version of the reporter’s…

Swimming’s World Cup Proving Valuable Hub For Autumn Racing An event entitled “World Cup” naturally carries some weight. After all, that’s the moniker used by global football’s signature event, held every four years and capturing the attention of fans across the globe. The Olympics is the only global sporting event that prompts similar levels of national pride as the quadrennial FIFA event. Swimming’s version of the World Cup is definitively not at that level. Although much smaller in scale, the typically-every-other-year World Championships is the signature event hosted by World Aquatics. The World Cup series, on the other hand, is…
