The Western Equestrian team is hosting two shows this Saturday, Feb. 6, at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m.

The event will feature all of the teams in the region: SUNY Geneseo, SUNY Oswego, Nazareth College, Cazenovia College and RIT.

Alfred's Western team is in the top three of the region, and the members emphasize that this weekend's show, in combination with the one following it in Rochester, will determine who will go to the semi-finals.

"Its our only home show of the season, so we'd love all of the students' support," says junior Natalie Grow.

The 2010 Pro Bowl on Jan. 24 was successful as far as sales and TV Cable ratings are concerned. In fact, the crowd of 70,697 was the largest since the Pro Bowl of 1959 in Los Angeles, and the ratings were the highest they have been in a decade. And I suppose if the game is meant to be played merely for fun and not to be viewed as a serious football game, then it can be ruled a success in that sense as well. However, does that really make up for the fact that 40% of the players selected did not play, and among those absent were Payton Manning and Drew Brees (the Super Bowl quarterbacks)?

The Alfred Club Hockey team had their alumni game this past weekend, Jan. 30, along with a game versus Oneonta at their home rink.

The alumni had a great time reuniting with college friends and teammates. The current team faced a though and exciting game against one of its bitter rivals and played a good game.

The game had highlights including freshman Kris Carlson from Alfred State breaking the rink's glass with and amazing body hit and all around good playing by both teams.
