On a sad day like today with the deaths of those Metrolink passengers, it’s hard to talk about sports.  I had a scare when I thought a loved one was there, fortunately it was just that, a scare. But for many people around, it’s more than just a scare, it’s sad reality. The world of sports is a way of entertainment. Us sports fanatics many times get so emotional, crazy, irrational; all due to the outcome of a sporting event…. Read more

The men’s soccer team will be in Wisconsin for a tournament. The women’s soccer team will be in Moraga also for a tournament. The women’s volleyball team will be in Arizona for an Invitational. All three teams are posting excellent records so far, hopefully it stays that way by the end of the weekend.

Matadors Devin Deldó and Rafael Garcia are out for the season with broken ACL’s. They will have surgery later this week and their timetable for recovery is from 6 to 9 months. Deldó is a senior but head coach Terry Davila is looking into getting him at least an extra season of eligibility.

The Matadors defeated UNLV today 2-0 with goals of Camerons Sims and Moy Gomez and won the CSU Fullerton Tournament. CSUN had also beat CSU Bakersfield on Friday, thus giving them a 2-0 record, good enough for the brief competition’s championship. The Matadors are off to a hot start. After dropping their first game of the season against Georgetown at home 1-0, they’ve reeled in three straight victories.

We’re having difficulty covering volleyball due to their weekends far, far away from Northridge. They’ve been to an Invitational in Boise, Idaho and, this weekend, are in Sacramento for another one. We’re going to do our best to keep you updated and get interviews as soon as we can for you crazy volleyball fans.

I spoke to the media relations’ person for the men’s soccer team on his condition and he said that as far as the prognostic, it won’t be known until next week. The reporter who interviewed Garcia after he suffered the injury said that it could be an ACL tear, meaning the end of the season for the young star. They told me they’d let me know about the official… Read more

I bet many of you guys didn’t know about Franklin, the Matador who’s making it big in the MLS. Ok, granted, some of you did, but did you REALLY know he was doing this good? He’s sure representing CSUN with pride out there. Anyways, I bumped into him at the Northridge mall the other day. Guess, where at? I’ll give you some choices: a) Champs b) Finish Line c) Hollister d) Borders Ok, ok, don’t go crazy guessing. Here’s your… Read more

So I’ll be going to interview Mr. Franklin at his new home, the Home Depot Center, today Wednesday the 20th. Franklin was selected 4th overall in the MLS Superdraft despite having missed great part of his senior season at CSUN. Imagine that…4th overall of a professional league. Franklin has developed even more as a hometown Galaxy defender, is now a starter and was even called ‘the best player on the team’ by former Galaxy coach and all-time great Ruud Güllit…. Read more
