OPINION: 50 years of The Beatles, has music peaked?

By Corey Williams | Campus Editor | February 27

On Feb. 9, 1964, The Beatles exploded into American homes with a two-and-a-half-minute performance of "I Want to Hold Your Hand" on The Ed Sullivan Show. That night changed the way we would listen to music forever.

OPINION: No huddle, no chance

By Justin Ferguson | Managing Editor | February 26

Let's not kid ourselves. Pace of play in college football is a real problem. Well it's a real problem in the eyes of Nick Saban and Bret Bielema. But that, in turn, is the real problem with the problem -- two highly paid head coaches are trying to change the rules in order to send a message to the up-tempo offenses that gives them headaches.

OPINION: Tiger Ten should be changed to Tiger Eight

By Becky Hardy | Editor-in-Chief | February 25

Living in a college town, it's common to hear stories about your fellow students not remembering exactly how they got home last night. Sometimes those nights involve drunk driving.

OPINION: The long and shorts of wacky weather

By Juan Price | Campus Writer | February 21

In the last few weeks, it seems winter is flirting with spring. Students are confused as to whether they should wear shorts or pants, but when is it too soon to start wearing shorts?

OPINION: Challenging Special K

By Becky Sheehan | Intrigue Reporter | February 19

Ready to feel great about yourself? Special K is here to help. The sugary-sweet pressed corn cereal has been running The Special K Challenge commercials since 2008, promising women they'll drop six pounds or one jean size in two weeks.

OPINION: Baseball's unbreakable bond

By David McKinney | Assistant Sports Editor | February 19

Before I did a lot of things in my life, I attended my first baseball game. In fact, before I even spoke my first word, I had seen the Chicago Cubs play at Wrigley Field. I marked that off of my bucket list before I even knew what a bucket list was. Or a bucket. Or a list.

OPINION: Dear feminists, the time has come

By Adam Wolnski | February 18

I'm a feminist. I'm also a masculinist. Most accurately, I'm a peopleist. I'm not the first person to coin the term "peopleism," and I'm not the first to share its ideals, but it constantly surprises me how much we let gender get in the way of real things happening.

OPINION: Improve yourself to find the Beyonce to your Jay-Z

By Derek Herscovici | Campus Reporter | February 14

The phrase "Game Recognize Game" isn't usually applicable to romance. An adage used among pro-athletes and rappers to confer mutual respect for the other's talents, abilities or accomplishments, it can also be used to determine a potential partner's worth to you. The power couple Jay-Z and Beyonce is a good example.

OPINION: Love in the time of technology

By Caitlin Shostak | Assistant Copy & Multimedia Editor | February 12

I've been cute-couple kicking for at least a decade now. I don't remember when my aversion to cute couples began, but something about the blissful titters, amorously glazed eyes and surreptitiously flexed biceps has always driven me bonkers. Luckily, I discovered a few flinty kicks on the back of a flirty couple's seat was usually enough to snap a couple out of their amorous trance.

OPINION: Why the drinking age should be lowered to 18

By Pierce Ostwalt | Community Writer | February 8

One of the longest on-going debates revolves around the legal drinking age. The age is currently 21 and was changed in 1984 from 18, but I am of the opinion that it should be lowered back to 18.

OPINION: How Disney's Frozen warmed my heart

By Anna Claire Conrad | Copy Editor | February 5

It wasn't until the credits started rolling that I fully realized what I had just experienced. It was a revolutionary film, one that defied everything its predecessors valued.

OPINION: Dining services changing the way we eat

By Chandler Jones | Community Editor | February 3

There's a room off to the right of the Student Center. It's got clear glass and three doors. Inside works a number of staff dedicated to changing the way we eat on this campus, in particular, Glenn Loughridge and Rosa Cantrell.

OPINION: Bear Townsend: Leaving a legacy of love

By Nick Hines | February 3

A top hat, a coat and a small bottle of Captain. Maybe it was jeans rolled up at the pants leg showing his ankles, and rolled down at the waist to keep them on without a belt. In that case, usually shirtless, always shoeless. Quirky didn't define Bear Townsend. He defined quirky.

OPINION: Cat cartoons and Southern stereotypes

By Becky Sheehan | Intrigue Reporter | January 25

Garfield opened his door to a horde of relatives. They found out he won the lottery and wanted a handout. As the relatives swarmed his porch, I looked up from my breakfast. In loud, twangy Southern dialects, the feline family harassed the famous cartoon-strip cat.

OPINION: Win or lose, Manning's legacy is already written

By David McKinney | Assistant Sports Editor | January 24

When it comes to legacies for NFL quarterbacks, there's no measuring stick used more by critics than championships. Dan Marino, a hall of famer and nine-time Pro Bowl selection who holds more than seven NFL passing records, often has his stellar career accomplishments overlooked by writers and analysts, who choose instead to focus on the fact that Marino was never able to win a Super Bowl.

OPINION: Sports need more Richard Shermans

By Justin Ferguson | Managing Editor | January 21

Thank you, Richard Sherman. I am not a Seattle Seahawks fan, but I would like to thank you for your last-second deflection in the NFC Championship Game, one that led to a game-ending interception.
