Mike McElory's article on voter apathy in the IDS asks why voter turnout is up for IU Student Association elections, but students still do not seem to care about the issues. How about this: what do they do for us? Finally this year, we see a real example of action by the IUSA: the increased transportation fee to have access to all buses. But ( Read more... )

The fastest hat trick in FA League history was completed this week. Two minutes and 20 seconds. In a 6-0 win. See, there's plenty of scoring in soccer.

Tony Sam's opinion piece in Monday's IDS offers a solution to those fed up of the political system with its watered-down candidates and two dominating parties. Since 1976, Nevada has had a "None of the Above" option on its ballot. Sams reports that "NOTA" has won four times. When it has, a special runoff election is held with, well, none of the ( Read more... )

Gotta endure a horrendous, back breaking loss to Minnesota. That on top of a loss to Holland by the US MNT. If Bruce Arena keeps up this "not winning in Europe stuff" we're gonna be in trouble in 2006. Assuming we qualify. That's not guaranteed with the current troubles of the U-23s. Plus we have these horrendous uniforms now. Check them out ( Read more... )

I download "The Grey Album" from illegalart.com. Jay--Z remixed with the Beatles. Why EMI doesn't stop going after DJ Danger Mouse and start licensing this record is amazing.

Wired.com has a story about people listening to other's iPods as they walk around. You can find the whole story here. The guy's blog talks about it too. Apprently this is becoming something of a cult phenomenon. So, if you happen to see me walking around IU's campus with my white earbuds, ask before you walk up, remove my earbud plug and stick ( Read more... )

I'm gonna post that soccer thing soon. I've been real busy with officiating basketball (6 shifts in 6 days). So I'll do it when I get around to it. Accidentally deleting Semagic isn't helping the process.

Title looks weird but most people who read this are or were in college, so you should be able to figure it out. That said, I can't say how much I love my iPod. It has not yet challenged my soccer jacket for "Most Prized Posession" but it blows my laptop, the former #2, away. Actually, maybe the Playstation and iPod are fighting it out. If only ( Read more... )

I loved this week. I mean, the sheer adventure of walking everywhere on solid ice is in and of itself enough to get me up in morning. Nothing like truding off to get the paper and some breakfast in flip-flops with about 1in of ice under about 3 in of snow. Very invigorating. That'll wake you up in the morning. It's a real eye opener. Well, ( Read more... )

Damn, are we ever gonna be able to steal a game we could use but probably won't win? No probably not...wait, yes, I see it. The day we can do that. And that day is...the day we have Josh Smith, DJ White and (maybe) Bracey.
