UA rallies to beat ASU in blood drive

Students donate more than 1,100 pints in week-long campaign, top ASU by over 350 pints

UA students overcame a slow start to donate more than 1,100 pints of blood to beat ASU by more than 350 pints in the schools' annual competition.

The University of Arizona collected 1,128 pints, beating Arizona State University's total of 775, but fell short of the 2,000 pint goal set by the Associated Students of the University of Arizona. The blood drive began Oct. 13 and ran through Friday.

Sports reporters half-witted, staff picks appalling

My favorite weekly feature comes out on Fridays, when each of the "brilliant" sports reporters makes their picks for the weekend's college football games.
