Baseball and softball teams show promise

Sports Editor

One of the hardest things to do in sports is work your way from the ground up.

Getting a program started is one of the most difficult undertakings an athletic department is likely to face, and it’s not something that happens overnight. It can take years. Sometimes universities are never able to cross the threshold and turn that program into a winner with the type of talent to make that winning sustainable.

Straight Talk with Liz: Holiday Edition

Q: I recently started dating this guy, and he is nice and likable, but I just don’t feel like it’s going anywhere. How can I let him know I don’t want to go out again without hurting his feelings? - Anxious Wreck

   Breaking things off with people is always a difficult situation. You don’t want to hurt their feelings, but you also don’t want to lead them on and hurt them in the long run.  I would recommend talking to him face to face, and explain how you think he is sweet and kind, but you are not feeling a spark. Most of the time, they may not feel the spark either but don’t know how to tell the other person. You have to do what’s best for you, but always do it with the other person’s feelings in mind as well. Good luck!
