In the 101st meeting of the biggest collegiate rivalry in the state of Washington, let’s just forget it all. Let’s forget the teams involved are 0-19 against Division I opponents this year. Or that a conference opponent (USC) outscored both Washington universities by a combined score of 125-0…

After many weeks of anticipation, hype and waiting – it is finally upon us. We’ve been anxiously and eagerly looking forward to this moment, as it will significantly alter our collegiate experience for the next semester. Unfortunately, many of us are unsure about the key individuals who determine the level of success we may achieve…

This past week has been a difficult one for members of the WSU community and it’s not simply because of the slaughter we called a “game” against USC. This week our town was the setting of three separate – though presumably related – alleged hate crimes. Hate crimes are the most frustrating and disappointing offenses committed in the wide spectrum of crimes commonly perpetrated on college campuses…

The most overpriced and overrated product in America today is not the MacBook Air, a Gucci handbag, an H2 Hummer or any other item which you may ogle with envy. But rather, it is a single piece of paper which could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, yet nine times out of 10…

We are in the midst of a technological revolution. E-mails have replaced letters. Text messaging is used more than phone conversations and we download instead of purchase music. Some of us spend more time streaming videos on YouTube than in front of a television…

With 958 medals, 17 days, 132 new Olympic records, 43 new world records and one wholesome pounding courtesy of the Chinese, the 2008 Summer Olympiad is over. It’s been an amazing and bumpy ride for Team USA, but once we look past Michael Phelps’ extraordinary performance in the swimming events…

These components were supposed to spell disaster for the GOP and bring the executive branch back to the Democrats. But thanks to the broken primary process and appointment of superdelegates…
