At the end of every University of Calgary Dino season we here at the Gauntlet take time to give praise or criticism to those who are much more athletic than us. Chances are they are more popular, better looking and smarter too, but being unbiased journalists, we will not let that factor into our assessments. This year we offer an out-of-five rating to the men's and women's soccer squads, the field hockey team, the cross-country team and the football team. While some of these teams did not meet the expectations placed upon them at the beginning of the season, others greatly exceeded them, especially the football team, whose Hardy Cup winning season was the high-mark of the first half of the Dinos Athletics 2008-09 season.
