I mentioned in my introductory post that The Pioneer Post’s masthead was most likely temporary. Well, I now have several different possibilities, and I haven’t decided yet which one to use.

Our long state nightmare is finally over.

Late last night, Denver lost its second straight game at historic, soon-to-be-replaced Mac Court, to BTI Tournament host Oregon, 68-56. It was a frustrating game, one that DU led 32-28 at halftime and 43-41 around the midway point of the second half — only to succumb to turnovers, missed opportunities, foul trouble, and a seemingly endless parade of Ducks going… Read more »
