Since 2005 those looking for a forum to discuss and understand community issues found one in The Hoot.

What you saw was Brandeis’ Men’s Ultimate Frisbee team, called TRON.Ultimate Frisbee is an up and coming sport that combines the best aspects of soccer, basketball and football into […]
Last weekend, the National Football League held its annual draft, the yearly player selection process that determines which team acquires the rights to sign each rookie player. Spanning two days and seven rounds, the draft is debated and analyzed by football fans for months before it actually begins, and it has become arguably the most […]
Football left Brandeis nearly five decades ago. That didn’t stop Coach Pete Varney’s baseball squad from putting up a football-like score when the Brandeis Judges needed only six innings and 20 hits to pulverize the Albertus Magnus Falcons 17-0.
