Swimming: Swimming Drowns in the Desert
This weekend’s field trip to Arizona for the women’s and men’s swim teams offered some valuable lessons.

The decisions put the Gaucho women at 2-2 overall and the men at 0-1.

Allowing Drunks to Gamble Is Wrong
I have a story about abuse of our fellow players. The story is set at a popular casino in Las Vegas.

On this particular day, I sat down to play around 7 a.m.
