That point has finally been
reached, football season just started, now it feels like it’s almost
over. Well, there is one good thing about the NFL’s mid-point –
it usually falls right around the time that NASCAR’s annoyingly long
season is finally winding to a close. What a wonderful sport when the
most uninteresting man involved in it can take the championship for
four straight years. I think NASCAR may be taking this consistency thing
a bit too far. Left turn, left turn, left turn, Jimmie Johnson wins
another cup! On to next season! Left turn, left turn, left turn…..
Oh, yeah, back to football.
Overall record to this point,
76-37

Ever thought we would see a
season in the NFL when playoff teams were decided by week seven? Well,
this may be the one. While I will stop short of saying that no drama
remains and no opportunities will present themselves in the next few
weeks, I will commit to this – we know the good teams, they’re really
good, we know the bad teams, they’re really bad. At this point, most
teams are either playing for divisions and seeding or because they have
to.
Overall record to this point,
68-32

Food Ministry dishes out
direct solution to Hunger in the High Country, America
by MEGAN NORTHCOTE
Intern Lifestyles Reporter
For some reason, canned food
drives always seem to happen only around the holidays.
Maybe it’s because the holiday
season has traditionally been thought of as a time of giving.
Or perhaps it’s because people
begin thinking of their own families’ big turkey dinners and wish
for those less fortunate to be able to experience the same magical grandeur
of the holidays.
However, According to the UN
Food and Agriculture Organization, the number of people starving in
the world has exceeded 1 billion. At this rate, the number starving
will exceed 9 billion by the year 2050.

Beer sludge for the open-minded
traveler
by KELSEY OHLEGER
I think it is safe to presume
that college students love beer.
They love drinking it: in plastic
red cups, out of holes on the side of the can and through homemade funnels.
They love playing with it:
beer pong tournaments, endless card games and chugging contests.
They love promoting it: neon
signs hung in cluttered apartments, logos on worn-out t-shirts and embroidered
on sweat-stained ball caps.
I have recently learned of
a way to take this passion a step further by eating it.
