April 23, 2013
On the surface, mathematics and music seem to exist on opposite ends the spectrum. The former is rigid in its rationality while the latter is emotional, creative and expressive.

Jake Cochran, Sports Co-Editor
April 23, 2013
Its almost synonymous with sports, the idea of superstitious. The way that socks are put on, the way that a jersey is tucked, the choice of heads of tails at a coin flip, almost anything than can be done, can be done wrong.

Bill Thomas, A&E Editor

They call themselves Chad Dallas, Jarret Steel and Iggy El Gordo. Those aren’t their real name of course, but that hardly matters. Like Axl Rose and Nikki Sixx before them, they’ve recast themselves as gaudy avatars of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll. Also, Aqua Net. Together they prowl the airwaves... Read more »
