Leave no Beers Behind

You can recycle a beer can. You can recycle a beer bottle. You can reuse a keg to your heart’s content. You’ve made Recycle Rex happy thus far — but you can’t recycle warm, flat, blue-balled beer. By doing so, you are robbing that beer’s spirit.

Baseball: Gauchos Head to Riverside for Break

After two weeks of facing off against the nation’s top teams, UCSB baseball’s series this weekend at Riverside may seem like a vacation. The Gauchos have played seven of their last 10 games against ranked opponents, and last weekend they took two out of three from then-#10 Long Beach.
