To make things clear, I want to clarify something from my column today.
As a Ball State student since 2005, I have seen the highs and lows of Ball State football. I have also seen the highs and lows of Ball State fans.
I have dealt with some of the most passionate fans I have ever met, [...]
(Yes, I already posted a similar version earlier. But this one was in the paper, so…yeah…)
All right, it’s here. Time for the first game of Ball State’s football season.
Since anyone’s support of the Cardinals begins when, and only when, you first step foot on campus, I know that you’re probably a little uncertain as to [...]
HARTFORD CITY — Jay County’s last-second touchdown at the end of the first half turned out to be the game winner that gave coach Steve Boozier his first victory with the Patriots.
Boozier prevailed at his old stomping grounds of Blackford, where he was the coach from 2000 to 2007, by surviving a scoreless second half [...]
It’s as if a chapter in American history came to a close Tuesday night when President Barack Obama announced the end of combat operations in Iraq during his speech.
The Iraq War, which began in March 2003, has been a controversial issue from day one. The major events of the war, such as the capture of [...]
Students aren’t the only ones who can join a crowd.
During the 2008 presidential election, college students, including those from Ball State, were a key source for the momentum Barack Obama gained in his victory against Sen. John McCain.

After keeping track of the Ball State women’s volleyball team this weekend, one thing stood out: its aggression on the attack.
This is based on a small sample size against inferior competition, granted, but the Cardinals had 15.1 kills per set over the weekend. That’s 2.6 more than they averaged in 2009. They did this while [...]
The Ball State women’s volleyball team is about to begin play in its newest era, and the buzz is high.
After first-year coach Steve Shondell moved one mile north from Burris Laboratory School to Worthen Arena, fans could be forgiven for getting a little overexcited. Some have been heaping high expectations on this team, going as [...]
Congratulations. You survived your “first day.”
For Ball State students, Monday ranged from the first to the very last first day of their college careers. No matter what year you’re in, it was a day filled with trying to figure out where your classes were, meeting new people and scheming a way to pay as little [...]
In keeping with the theme of today’s paper, I’m writing my first column about my experiences as a copy editing intern for ESPN.com this summer.
I never thought I would be able to say I worked for the “Worldwide Leader in Sports.” For someone who has a passion for sports and a career goal to be [...]
So, there was a breaking news-esque story on the Ball State campus today — if breaking news can be more than 24 hours old. In my attempt to be a “good little journalist,” I tried to put something together to post on the DN website.
At which point, I came to the understanding of how pedestrian [...]
