The ‘oops’ defense

By Stephen Tsai on May 5, 2018

We’re all human. We all do stupid things — mostly inadvertently, sometimes intentionally. Oregon State got busted doing a not-so-cool thing. For a civilized society to exist, there has to be some order. The rules of being a dude include: 1) Don’t pass gas in my car. 2) Don’t touch the fries on my plate. 3) Don’t send recruiting brochures to my players.

Still in the running

By Stephen Tsai on April 30, 2018

There comes a time in every football player’s life when it’s time to take off the pads. For former UH running back Joey Iosefa, that meant the start of a new career. Iosefa now plays for the Houston SaberCats of Major League Rugby. Rugby was one of the many sports Iosefa played while growing up in American Samoa. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers drafted Iosefa in the seventh round in 2015. He was part of their final cuts that summer. He […]
