Avatar photo Denim Millward - Former Sports Editor April 25, 2015

Denim Millward Sports Editor Whether you’re an active participant in sports, a board game aficionado, a video game enthusiast or even the most casual observer of any of these activities, you’ve certainly arrived at the same conclusion as everyone else.  Losing sucks.  Horribly.

Denim Millward Sports Editor The day this issue of the Bengal is printed just happens to be my birthday (if you see me, feel free to wish me a happy birthday, tell me I don’t look my age, give me gifts or throw a handful of confetti at me). The […]

SPORTS DEN: ATHLETICS TURNING THE CORNER

Avatar photo Denim Millward - Former Sports Editor October 14, 2014

Denim Millward Sports Editor As a non-traditional student (a nice way of saying “a lot older than most of you”) and Pocatello native, I’ve experienced considerably more disappointment and heartache at the hands of ISU athletics than the average traditional college student.  Though I attended my fair share of Bengal […]

Denim Millward Sports Editor In a lot of ways, and for a lot of teams, the most enjoyable time of the season is just before it begins.  Before a single minute of a single game is played, the unique amalgamation of eager anticipation of and soaring optimism for the upcoming […]
