Facts are facts: Gators rule
I’ll admit it. I was wrong. Ohio State wasn’t a good enough team to beat Florida. Greg Oden and Mike Conley Jr. were not good enough to overcome the deep and talented Gators. When I made my prediction the night before the national championship, I did so as Gator hater.
Rams honored by Richmond City Council
City Council got swept up in March madness last Monday, honoring the VCU men’s basketball team at the start of their weekly meeting.
Seemingly everyone in Richmond knows about the Rams win in the NCAA tournament. When the dust settled and the final seconds ticked off, 11-seed VCU was ahead of No.
VCU Sports Fact of the Day
The VCU baseball team has played in nine games that have been decided by one run this season. The Rams are 8-1 in those games with the sole loss coming on opening day.
Rams dominate itsy bitsy Spiders
Last night’s 10-1 victory over the University of Richmond Spiders will probably be a game that VCU Rams’ RHP Phillip Deane (Richmond/Varina) will remember for a long time, even if it didn’t end as perfectly as he may have wished.

Pimpin’ made easy
The corner of Main Street and Laurel Street was flooded with a wide array of people coming to see a sold-out show Friday night. The Landmark Theater was packed with cheering fans as comedian Katt Williams danced across the stage to Rick Ross’ hit single “Hustlin.
Comic timing
It’s not every day that one’s childhood superhero dreams are brought to life.
Three VCU students have taken their dream of having their own comic book and made it a reality. The comic book, “SANCTUARY,” is the creation of students Martin Krause, Kevin Roberts and Brian Visaggio.
Broadway comes south
So the Broadway Under the Stars series cancelled three of its five Landmark Theater shows. Not to worry, though, because I found a little Broadway just a few blocks away.
At the Raymond Hodges Theatre in the W.E. Singleton Center for the Performing Arts to be exact.
Your Turn Letters to the Editor
I want to respond to your March 29 article entitled “Sex worker art show won’t return to campus.” In particular, this show was an important addition to campus programming and it will return despite Reuban Rodriguez’ reactionist claims to the contrary. Undeniably, sex workers are a part of the fabric of the urban “campus” that makes up VCU and the surrounding areas.
Religion’s role in Romney’s presidential bid
Elder Jason Thueson might look like a politician. He wears a suit and tie, says he has strong morals and wants to shake hands and talk with as many people as possible.
But unlike Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, Thueson is not running for public office.
