Staff Blog: UNF receives attention from ESPN

Spinnaker • Dec 18, 2008
After visting ESPN’s website on December 17, I was taken aback to see the UNF men's basketball team featured on the website’s homepage. Unfortunately, I quickly realized that the article, which centered around a 76-36 UNF loss to No. 25 Clemson, had little to do with any improvements UNF has made on the court. Rather than focusing on UNF’s attempt to keep up with Clemson Whelliston’s article had a much different objective: explaining the $80,000 paycheck UNF received to get crushed by Clemson. However, the author, Kyle Whelliston, did have a few words of praise to say about UNF’s effort.

Staff Blog: The recruiting system is broken

Spinnaker • Dec 4, 2008
A nine-year-old boy’s father recently posted a video on YouTube of his son playing basketball with hopes it will catch the eye of an NCAA recruiter. The young boy is actually very good for his age, and the clip has already been viewed more than a million times.

What do the two have in common? They are both examples of how NCAA recruiting has gone too far.

Jaguars part of stew of contenders: Week 9 Power Rankings

Spinnaker • Oct 29, 2008
This NFL season has become almost as confusing as the BCS championship system. Over the last several years NFL fans have become accustomed to having a few teams atop the standings that were clearly set apart from the pack. Instead, eight weeks into the season there is only one team that remains undefeated and only one with one loss. However, this is not the downfall of every single team in the NFL, but rather a leveling of the playing field.

Jaguars and Steelers hope to overcome injuries

Spinnaker • Oct 4, 2008
This is probably one of the hardest situations I have to face as an NFL fan. My two favorite teams, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Jacksonville Jaguars, are facing off against each other in week 5. However, this game could be decided by off the field factors. Although both teams have suffered several injuries the Pittsburgh Steelers enter Jacksonville with a roster missing five starters that has to resort to using their fourth string running back.
