Putting their dismal 2-9 start further in the rearview mirror, the Denver Pioneers bookended the New Year’s holiday with a pair of home wins Thursday and Sunday to start the Sun Belt Conference season 2-0 and extend their overall winning streak to 4.

Exactly one year, to the day, after I originally planned to finish my Brendan’s Defining Days of the Decade series, I’ve finally done it. (Well, except for the “honorable mentions”, which I’ll write up… er, probably sometime next year.) Yeah, it took way too long — we’re one-tenth of the way through a new decade already! — but we’ve finally… Read more »
Liveblog is powered by Cover It Live, and as per usual, will display all of my tweets and Becky’s tweets, and any tweets at us, and a bunch of other people’s tweets to boot. You can join in the conversation: tweet something “@brendanloy,” and it’ll appear below. You can do this using the reply window at the bottom of this… Read more »
