Last week, the Arizona Cardinals lost to the Atlanta Falcons, 6-3. The Cardinals have been battling it out with the Cincinnati Bengals for worst team in the NFL for the last 10 years (and it looks like the "Bungles" have given up the fight, in favor of playoff contention). Arizona has the worst record in the NFL since the beginning of last year's regular season.
The University has decided to standardize the image of the school's tiger mascot by creating a new set of graphics designed for athletics.The "kit of parts" that comprises the new graphics system includes four different images of the traditional tiger as well as a bold new "P". Both the tiger and the "P" will be combined in various forms in shades of orange and black.While the Princeton tiger, over a century old, was the first sports mascot of its time in higher education, the University had never established one standard image for the tiger.The effort to come up with a graphic identity began in February 2004, when Princeton formed a committee to create the system that included development, athletics, campus life, public affairs, and communications representatives of the University.The committee chose international design firm Pentagram to create the actual graphics.
It would take a nationwide search over almost the entire summer, but the man who was to take the helm of men's cross country from former head coach Mike Brady would be found just a few miles down the road at the College of New Jersey, in the form of new assistant coach for men's track and cross country Steve Dolan.Brady, who retired following the end of the spring outdoor track season, had been a fixture in Princeton for 13 years.

This is the third in a series of articles on Princeton football in honor of its 135th anniversary.Those who are more versed in Princeton lore may know which street is referred to in this article.
Tied at halftime in their first Ivy League game of the season was not where women's soccer wanted to be, but that's exactly where Princeton found itself while at Yale.
For the men's soccer team, the success of any road trip ? particularly last weekend's jaunt to Wofford, S.C.
The men's and women's tennis teams took to the road this weekend with mixed results. While the men invaded the Yale Invitational in New Haven, Conn., the women split between the William & Mary Invitational in Williamsburg, Va., and the Ciccie Leary Invitational at Penn.After coming off an intense tournament the previous weekend at Princeton, the men were plagued by injuries.Though head coach Glenn Michibata wasn't satisfied with his team's weekend results, he's not worried.
SAN DIEGO ? There were plenty of signs that this wasn't just any ordinary Princeton football weekend: the swanky receptions, the 80-degree weather, the palm trees in the background.But it was the spread at the pre-game tailgate that truly symbolized the difference.

SAN DIEGO ? A few minutes after the game ended, as he sat on the stairs outside the visitor's locker room, football head coach Roger Hughes looked exhausted.He'd just watched his team throttle the opposition for the first 20 minutes and sleepwalk through the final 40.
SAN DIEGO ? Few football teams can survive on defense alone. Sure, defense wins championships, the old adage terms, but teams this side of the Baltimore Ravens rarely do so without the help of a competent offense.
Junior Cack Ferrell found her comfort zone as she and the rest of the women's cross-country team returned to her home state of Minnesota to compete in the Griak Invitational.
It is not a coincidence that Jack Nicklaus won six Masters. After all, the man who is still considered the best golfer of all time (sorry Tiger, you are in a slump) played there enough times to get to know the course.
Thank God it was Friday. Riding a three-game losing streak, the field hockey team needed a win badly when they played Columbia on Friday night, and that's exactly what they got, beating the Lions 3-1.Though Princeton (2-5 overall, 2-1 Ivy League) dominated offensively throughout the first half, the scoreboard was blank until junior midfielder Maren Ford scored an unassisted goal with five minutes left in the half.
