Monday against Kansas, point guard D.J. Augustin struggled going 1-of-13 […]
Same old Lifehouse
The new release, Who We Are from Lifehouse seems to be a broken record of some sorts. The words have changed, but the music and arrangement looks as if it has stayed the same. The lyrics have never been the problem with these melodic-based balladeers. They have always been able […]

Single on V-Day doesn’t mean you have to hide
I find myself looking at Valentine’s Day and thinking: man, I’m single and living in a residence hall in Commerce, with no date and no real plans … which is mainly because I don’t get out of class until 7:10 p.m. But, I am not so na’ve to think that […]

Happy Valentine’s Day
Flowers die, cute stuffed animals just take up space and chocolates make me feel guilty about not going to the gym. Valentine’s Day for me has not been a holiday worth celebrating since elementary school when we got to take a break from grammar and eat cupcakes, open Barbie and […]
What is love? Baby, don’t hurt me …
I feel like Pinocchio must have when he declared, “I’m a real boy!” I sat in on the last day of my first major trial Friday. I was covering the Albert Sterling murder-for-hire trial for my regular job and got to hear the penalty hearing and closing arguments. Aside from […]
