It is that time of the year when college sports teams go on incredible runs—upsetting higher-ranked teams, pulling off dramatic comeback wins and stringing them all together to take a shot at a championship. But this March, in Claremont, California, it is not Butler or Davidson, Norfolk State or Lehigh.

Millertime: The Real Deal
Down 10-2 to Occidental last Saturday afternoon, the men’s baseball team looked defeated. It was not the oppressive, 80-degree heat that had them deflated or even the five runs surrendered off of wild pitches. It was knowing they had lost that game after another brutal loss earlier that day, falling 2-1 in
Millertime: Cutting Corners for a Chance at Success
I took second place in my fantasy baseball league last year, and I owe all of that to Ryan Braun. The Milwaukee right fielder batted .332 on the year with 33 homers and 111 RBI. I love the guy; in baseball, he is a god amongst men. Scratch that—was a
MillerTime: Lin-N-Out Double-Double (Animal Style)
Last week, Jeremy Lin woke up on his brother’s couch preparing for his first NBA start. That couch had been his bed for the past month as Lin tried to get head coach Mike D’Antoni and the New York Knicks to guarantee him a contract. Later that day, Lin made
Millertime: 2012, The Year of the Tebow
Liking God is cool again, did you hear? Tim Tebow is bringing it back. He has quickly become the most popular NFL player, the most popular athlete and quite possibly, for a moment, the most popular person in America, all on the wings of Jesus. Bringing back values to professional
Millertime: Young, Wild, and Free
In the most exciting moment Pomona-Pitzer sports has witnessed this year, first-year Jack Klukas PO ’15 hit a three-point shot with six seconds on the clock to tie the game against CMS 55-55. It was picturesque, perfect. Rains has never been louder, not even when the football team stripped down
Millertime: Reimagining Rains
I love Rains, I really do. During the season it’s a second home to me, and in the offseason it’s like a vacation getaway. Once you walk through those doors and past the person supposed to be checking IDs, you are in a whole new world where classes go out
MillerTime: Fall Valuable Assets
Every week, I sit in the TSL office on Wednesday night and try to determine who should represent Pomona-Pitzer athletics as the Sagehen and Sagecock of the Week. Sometimes it’s the athlete who contributed most to a win, sometimes it’s the athlete who completed an amazing game-saving play, sometimes it’s
Millertime: A Better Admissions Policy
As a Division-III competitor, a member of the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletics Conference, and one of the most elite liberal arts schools in the country, Pomona seems to stake most of its pride in the student aspect of student-athlete. You’re accepted into Pomona because of what you can contribute as
Millertime: Join ‘The League’
Until now, my weekly repertoire of shows has been “Grey’s Anatomy,” “The Mentalist,“ and “Modern Family.” A medical drama, a crime show with a twist, and an Emmy-winning comedy. But this fall I’m adding another show to my “download and watch immediately” line-up: “The League.” Last year, when a friend
