The Chicago Wolves defeated the IHL All-Star Team Monday evening at the AllState Arena, shutting them out 4-0. Chicago, who stood at a 15-21-3 prior to the All-Star break, were not expected to win this matchup, which pits the previous season's Turner Cup Champion-the Wolves-against a team of the league's best and brightest players. Lately, the Wolves are hardly playing like the championship team that they were last year, so how could they possibly beat a team of All-Stars? Continued

Back then, Boomer Sooner, Oklahoma’s fight song, blared out after every Sooner score. While it is no Who Let the Dogs Out, it should play on from now until the college football season kicks off next August. Each time that anthem plays, the heartbeat of a college football program that has won six national championships continues to beat. The Sooners were left for dead when they suffered through countless miserable seasons after Barry Switzer left in 1988. He coached the last time they won the national championship in 1985 and had a unique approach to football, both on and off the field.
