I give a Dam

Posted on February 6th, 2012 by graham.harwood

This is a letter I just wrote to my representative. Both a cool and interesting issue to read more look at americanrivers.org. The theme here is that I have already received a response to my first email on the issue and my congresswoman didn’t even know about it. This is how you get your voice [...]

Eli Manning an “ELI-te” NFL quarterback

Posted on February 5th, 2012 by Tim Weisberg

http://msn.foxsports.com/ We can probably stop making the “Why Eli Manning isn’t an elite quarterback argument?” now after he secured his second defeat of the New England Patriots in as many Super Bowls. That’s one more Super Bowl ring than his brother Peyton has, two more than his father Archie, and two rings to throw up [...]

“The selection of a Republican candidate for the presidency of this globalized and expansive empire is — and I mean this seriously — the greatest competition of idiocy and ignorance that has ever been.” -Fidel Castro Ladies and gentlemen we have now sunk to a new low. Fidel Castro has now called our presidential candidates [...]

The Best Thing I Ever Ate…In a Library

Posted on January 25th, 2012 by shelby.rokito

When I hear the world “library” the first adjectives that come to mind are boring, quiet and stuffy—all three of which sound equally unappetizing. This explains my relatively abnormal level of astonishment when I discovered that one of my favorite places to eat on campus is Mandibles, a café in the lobby of Mann Library. [...]

My Bad

Posted on December 6th, 2011 by graham.harwood

I apologize. I am sorry to anyone who read my article in the magazine. I said that Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Jon Huntsman were sticking around for the sole purpose of garnering enough attention to get a show on Fox News. Frankly I think any of the three would be willing to take a [...]

The Best Thing I Ever Ate…Post-Thanksgiving

Posted on November 29th, 2011 by shelby.rokito

As I thought about which food item to discuss in this week’s blog, I realized something. You really can’t have a comprehensive food blog without a Thanksgiving feature. After all, Thanksgiving is the holiest day of the year for the food lover. As a food aficionado, the thought of leftovers has always been positively indigestible [...]

Posted on November 22nd, 2011 by Tim Weisberg

The Los Angeles Dodgers may have to call up the bankruptcy court and plead their case to halt their inevitable sale because they had just been robbed by the baseball writers of America. Not robbed by any monetary value, but robbed of an NL MVP award that was rightfully center fielder Matt Kemp’s for the [...]

Posted on November 14th, 2011 by Tim Weisberg

Kicking woes-Boise State quarterback Kellen Moore reacts to a missed field goal at end of regulation of 36-35 loss to TCU Nov. 12. Last year it was Kyle Brotzman. In 2011, freshman kicker Dan Goodale was left to the test of keeping the BCS national championship dream alive for the Boise State Broncos. But for [...]
