  • Publisher's Comments by Mark Linnemann As the USSSA Men's B
    Publisher’s Comments by Mark Linnemann As the USSSA Men’s B, C, D and E World Tournaments approach each September, an interesting phenomena in Greater Cincinnati softball begins to manifest itself. Little Northern Kentucky, with less than 90,000 people, two private softball complexes, and a base of about 350 teams, is sending over forty percent - or sixteen - of the thirty eight teams advancing to the World Tournaments. By contrast, southwestern Ohio has a population of almost two million people, boasts eight private complexes and over 2,000 teams. And yet this incredible softball hotbed, which hosts over a hundred USSSA qualifiers each year, is sending a mere twenty-two teams - just six more than Northern Kentucky. But perhaps most striking is the disparity in the Men’s D program, which is the most popular level of play in softball. Thirteen area teams are advancing to Overland Park, Ks., for the U-Trip D world, and nine of those - or sixty nine percent - are from Northern Kentucky. Northern Kentucky also showed up its Cincinnati neighbor in recent state and national participation. Twenty-two Northern Kentucky teams participated in the state tournament last month at Northern Kentucky Sports Park, while a paltry ten Cincinnati teams advanced to state championship play. And an amazing twelve Northern Kentucky teams competed in the Great Lakes National Tournament Labor Day Weekend at Expressway Park in Milford, while only nine Cincinnati teams played in that event, which was held right in their back yard! A glance at the USSSA National Ranking Points brings to light even more the popularity of the USSSA D program in Northern Kentucky.

  • Medicine, Food Ban Anticipated
    RttO Apr-17 c-' Mating game'delights UConn pub crowd By ROB NELLIGAN An overflow crowd roared with approval as the Board of Governors (BOG) presented their videotape extravaganza, "The Mating Game," in the Anonymous Pub Wednesday night. The project, a takeoff on the Chuck Barris-inspired Dating Game, was highlighted by the ever present Master of Ceremonies, Tim Woodruff, whose carnation was only a shade redder than the contestants' faces. Steve Wolfberg played a mustachioed Johnnie Olson as he told the crowd that winners would stay at the "Ella Grasso Hotel," where they "may not wash their hair for a week." In the first group of contestants, an obvious case of nerves and a 25-minute delay led to a few verbal errors by the venerable Mr. Woodruff, but in the end Tara Muhring, a freshman communications major, walked off with dinner for two at the Wagon Shed Restaurant with her date, sophomore drama student Leonard P.
