Low fanbase an issue for UTM Intramurals

Intramurals play a large part in the lives of UTM student-athletes. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the Intramural fanbase. Sure, UTM has school spirit. The UTM Athletic Council makes sure games are publicized around the school. It also provides incentives for fan-support, such as free pizza, drinks and t-shirts. Indeed, UTMAC is working [...]

RAWC: More than just a facility

A new face for UFC prime time

Franklin vs. Henderson, a fight the fans asked for. Its funny though, I dont remember requesting an opportunity to see Franklin get his face smashed in again. Yet, at the end of the night I was surprised, and pleased, to say that it was the best fight of the night for Ultimate Fighting Championship 93 [...]
