OPINION: Nothing personal, just dropping the dead weight

By Maddie Yerant | Managing Editor | February 24

Date parties, Greek week, Panny points, DJ options for Spring Formal - I remember when these things used to mean a lot to me. They don't anymore, but I'm not ashamed.

OPINION: Better than primetime

By Kyle Van Fechtmann | Assistant Sports Editor | October 14

The National Football League has dealt with numerous off-the-field problems this season, but believe it or not, the problem getting the most attention is definitely not a new one. The only reason why this problem of domestic violence is getting more attention than ever is because of a video.

OPINION: Will coach stay?

By Patrick Lucas | Sports Writer | October 13

Auburn's football team has found great success in the last seven weeks. Few can complain about a 5-0 start, so I won't. The program's recent success can be attributed to a fantastic coaching staff, among other things, but primarily it's the leadership and vision of head coach Gus Malzahn.

OPINION: "They say the best revenge is found in success"

By Eric Wallace | Sports Writer | October 4

They say the best revenge is found in massive success. I believe it was Frank Sinatra who came up with that one. I don't know if Gus Malzahn is a fan of Sinatra or not, but the two certainly can relate on one thing: their achievements have been their own personal form of revenge.

Editorial: The downside of upscale living

August 23

Finding a decent place to live shouldn't be part of what makes college difficult. Paying tuition, maintaining a good GPA, avoiding alcohol poisoning -- these should be high on your list of college-related concerns.

OPINION: Scientific illiteracy, a real world problem

By Eric Wallace | Sports Writer | April 4

It seems like the phrase "teach the controversy" has become a popular response nowadays for those who disagree with popular scientific theories. If I'm allowed to have an opinion on topics in sports, politics and religion, why can't I do the same in science?

OPINION: Nothing cute about cat calling, it's harassment

By Emily Enfinger | Photo Editor | March 21

OPINION: A 'Bachelor' breakthrough

By Janiee Rush | Contributing Writer | March 7

Twenty five beautiful women living in the same house and competing for the same guy seems to be an ideal way to find love, right? ABC's "The Bachelor" has been a guilty pleasure of mine for years.

Editorial: Uninformed in the information age

By Jordan Hays | Copy Editor | March 6

Awareness is everything. It keeps us on track, ensures we know when our exams are, gets us to class on time and prevents us from getting hit by cars when we cross the street. Most everyone would say that they are aware of their surroundings, but global awareness is a concept many take for granted.

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

By Corey Williams | Campus Editor | February 27

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.
