On the “Next Level” and Not Wanting Babies

Santa Barbara (21-21 overall, 4-8 in the Big West) was held to just one run on 10 hits over the weekend and fell to 0-6 in conference road games.

Correction
On Thursday, the Daily Nexus endorsed two candidates who don’t exist. We’d like to take this space to apologize to David Preciado and Kelsey Fisher. In the same issue we also said that Preciado was a rep-at-large in the past (he wasn’t) and that Chris Wendle served as the first-ever pro tempore (he didn’t). To […]
