1. | Soccer Cab – Sat., Nov. 17 – $7.00 at the door and $5.00 in advance |
There is nothing better than a soccer cab. Phrases like Gongshow, public nudity and "might get arrested" quickly spring to mind. Bermuda Shorts Day Lite, for the uninitiated. |
2. | Dinos Men’s Hockey – 6-2-1 – ranked fifth in Canada |
Clearly in the "what the fuck" category, the Dinos are tearing up the league. Two players are on pace to receive 25 pounds of Grade A Alberta pork from the Gauntlet for their scoring exploits. |
3. | Natalie Schwartz – volleyball setter – undefeated in league play |
The rookie setter is off to a roaring start and her celebrations after big blocks border on the obscene. Quickly becoming one of the most entertaining athletes on campus. |
4. | Natalie Schwartz’ fans – best damned fans on campus – drunk at a volleyball game |
They were drunk and they made a sign. It said "We Love Westjet" on it. As the man who coined Schwartz’ unfortunate nickname, this makes me feel a strange mixture of pride and shame. |
5. | Matt Houston – soccer midfielder – the heart of the Dinos |
No man has ever meant as much to his campus as Matt Houston means to the U of C. Rain, snow, morning midterms–nothing keeps Matt Houston from having a great Thursday night. |
6. | Communism – an ideology |
I have to interview the leader of the Communist Party of Canada this week. Despite constant rumours, it’s not Dinos women’s volleyball Head Coach Kevin Boyles. It’s someone else. |
7. | The Calgary Flames – 12-2-1-2 – ranked second in the NHL |
Do they realize their only two losses have come with Mike Vernon in net? Logically, that dictates he should never get a start again. Number one goalie Roman Turek earns the nickname "Greco-Roman" Turek with his great play. |
8. | Denis Zhukov – volleyball power hitter |
Aside from being from Kazakhstan, Zhukov is rumoured to eat a lot of butter. He’s also the most talented player on the Dinos squad that looks as solid as ever when they don’t lose five-setters to UBC. |
