This year, members of HC Media tried to predict a perfect bracket for the 2013 NCAA March Madness. However, like everybody else in the country, no one could call every matchup perfectly.

The race to first place in the challenge was anything but certain, as people lost and gained their lead with upsets and bad choices in their brackets. However, in the end the Collegian’s Trevor Brass, who won with his choice for the overall No. 1 seed Louisville to win, scored a total of 270 points in the challenge. He was closely followed with a tie of 258 points between freshman Mckenzie Wedel and 2011 graduate Nick Blasnitz for second place. [Read more...]

College Catholics respond to pope’s retirement
February 27, 2013 by Leave a Comment
When I first found out that the pope resigned, I didn’t believe it.
