These are interesting times, to say the least, but I don’t need to tell you that. What I don’t understand about these interesting times is the reason people are attacking one another in their posts and comments online, in person. I’m not saying you don’t have a right to your own opinion, which you do as do I. But what is the intention behind sharing your opinion? Is it to educate people reading it?

Nonsense! Managers can tell the unmasked people to keep a mask on or leave immediately, unless they present genuine proof that they hav...

It won't be this fall, but eventually the defensive backs in the Frontier Conference will get to show why they're the last line of defense. Year in and year out, DBs in the Frontier have arguably the hardest job because there are so many diverse and balanced offenses around the league. Of course, no one knows that better than Montana State University-Northern head coach Andrew Rolin, who has watched his secondary struggle at times the last two seasons because they were just...
