B+ If the Dinos were a Japanese cartoon character, they would have mouths that were tiny when closed, and really ridiculously big when open. And, they would have blue hair; you gotta have blue hair!Anyway, the Dinos men’s volleyball squad bounced back from a miserable start to take fourth in both their conference and the… Continue reading Report Cards: Men’s Volleyball

Zhukov must have eaten two sticks of butter…
To wrap up the men’s volleyball season, the Dinos once again returned to the unfortunately named “City of Champions” for what would prove to be a surprising, then predictable, but overall exciting weekend of volleyball.When I first arrived in Edmonton, there was a general sense of disdain for the Dinos among fans and teams alike,… Continue reading Zhukov must have eaten two sticks of butter…
Dinos return annoyed and bitter; an interview with the Revolution
Dinos Senior Swinger Andy “the Reverend Revolution” Holland and I were “messenging” each other on MSN this morning, so I seized the opportunity for a candid interview now that the Dinosours have returned from desolate, distant Saskatoon, where they lost their first-round playoff matches 3-0, 3-1 over the weekend. Fortunately, the matches did not affect… Continue reading Dinos return annoyed and bitter; an interview with

Dinos make a comeback
This week, I have a few questions, and a few things I need to clarify on my own behalf. First of all, how is it that when two teams have the same amount of points overall, the team with the better record loses the tie-breaker? Oh well, sucks to be Trinity Western, I guess. Because… Continue reading Dinos make a comeback
Who’s your favourite Dino? Alfalfa? Or…
The men’s volleyball team won itself a berth in the Canada West playoffs by beating Winnipeg 3-2, 3-1 in Winnipeg over the weekend. Now tied for fourth place with rival Trinity Western University, the “battle of the splitters” will be revisited this weekend in Langley, and if the Dinos can win both (they’ve actually strung… Continue reading Who’s your favourite Dino? Alfalfa? Or…
Dinos beat Regina, prove nothing. Now it’s time to sever ties
Over the weekend the men’s volleyball team treated the slightly more-lowly Regina Cougars to a 6-0 beating. Big deal. I am happy for the Dinos, but I hope that beating the Cougars doesn’t serve as false confidence or a sign of being “back on track.” Beating Regina never really means anything. Losing to Regina means… Continue reading Dinos beat Regina, prove nothing. Now it’s time to

Zhukov or not, the Dinos lose again
Hawaii Five 0-2: that’s the line on the Dinos men’s volleyball team after a weird weekend series against Manitoba. The Dinos continued their futility in their first game back from the holiday break against the Canada West powerhouse Bisons, who despite their obvious disregard for good grammar (who’s their rival, the octopuses?) looked like a… Continue reading Zhukov or not, the Dinos lose again
Can’t find a butter man
I’m a Dinos fan. I’m also a huge Pearl Jam fan. Unfortunately for me, both have disappointed me as of late. The Dinos teams of the past few seasons are much like the last few Pearl Jam albums; you like it because of what they have meant to you in the past, but something’s missing.… Continue reading Can’t find a butter man
Golden Bears maul feeble Dinos
Have you ever seen that part of Billy Madison where Adam Sandler plays dodge-ball with all the young school-kids? If you’re like me, you laughed your ass off because it was a movie, but knew that in real life it would be terrible. Well, for those of us that wondered what it would be like… Continue reading Golden Bears maul feeble Dinos
Coach Ryan takes the Brian Mulroney approach
Got a problem? Throw some money at it and it’ll go away. That is how the most famous chin in Canadian politics ran the show in the ’80s and ’90s, and apparently, Dinos Head Coach Greg Ryan was paying attention. On Friday night against Trinity Western, the Dinos jumped out to a 2-0 lead, but… Continue reading Coach Ryan takes the Brian Mulroney approach
