WATER POLO: In a tough week at the Anteater Pool, women's water polo beats Long Beach, loses to Berkeley.

THE FRESHNESS: UC Irvine men's volleyball this season has been a true pleasure. I have written in the past about how much I enjoy these matches I cover for the New University, but last week was truly a joy to watch. These guys, men, specimens, beasts, whatever you prefer to call them, are without a doubt providing me with my most memorable year as a student here at our glorious UCI. This may tread on the line of man-love, but I can't help it; these dudes are the illest.

THE SWAGGER: It seems like the LeBron James vs. Kobe Bryant debate is all over the sports world today. Heck, I wrote my column about it just two weeks ago. But since Kobe's 61- point slashing of the Knicks and LeBron's almost triple-double performance in New York, the blogs have been going crazy. It is safe to call this relationship between the two players an official rivalry. And rivalries are one of the best things about sports...
