If there's one thing I have to say about both the Republican and the Democratic candidate in this election, it is that both of them are equally... dreadful. We've seen in the debates in recent weeks that both of them have no desire to work together. They talked over each other, and the debate moderator, and spent more time arguing one miniscule ...

Care, attention bring decision
During a recent outing with my family we ended up discussing the upcoming presidential election. I heard one of them say that the only way we will ever accomplish anything is if Republicans and Democrats work together. Even George Washington himself warned us about dividing into political parties. I dislike talking about politics because it leads ... [Read More…]
LSC powerhouse teams pose threat
Coming off of an emotional victory against West Texas A&M (3-0) last weekend, the Wildcats are now preparing to go up against the toughest teams in the conference, Angelo State (18-3) and Tarleton State (16-5). "Both of them are going to push us," said head coach Kellen Mock. "We are really going to have to work well as a team to overcome ... [Read More…]
Just a football player? That’s Hogg wash
Darian Hogg is known around the Big Country as a blue-collar wide receiver for Abilene Christian University. But Hogg is more than a dual sport athlete. "Darian goes over the middle and makes tough catches," quarterback Mitchell Gale said. "He blocks punts and he is a very hard worker." Hogg grew up in Arlington, and his father is a constant ...

‘Cats hope to bring home LSC title
The ACU cross country team is coming off a team victory at Midwestern State, and hopes to carry this momentum to Lawton, Okla. for the Lone Star Conference championship October 20th. First year head coach Chris Ward arrived on the scene a little late, but the team has continued to improve every week, and will have a chance to peak this weekend ... [Read More…]
Spin doctors for president
I don't pretend to be an expert on politics. I'm pretty ignorant and apathetic like most college students. But I think the reason I'm so disenchanted with it all is because what I want is honesty. Transparency. I want candidates to be utterly truthful to us. And I'm just not seeing that happen. During the debates, several websites fact check what ... [Read More…]
‘Cats place sixth during downpour
The ACU golf team played in the Querencia Cabo Collegiate tournament this last week in Los Cabos, Mexico. The Division II's third ranked team finished sixth after the competition was shortened due to consistent heavy rain. "The team really performed well considering the conditions and competition we went up against," senior Alex Carpenter said. ... [Read More…]
Wally’s World
Wally Bullington sits in his office in the Teague Special Events Center with a giant grin on his face as he reminisces about the old days with his former roommate and football teammate, Bob Davidson. Davidson and Bullington played in the only undefeated, untied season in ACU history (11-0 in 1950). The 1950 undefeated team traveled to Evansville, ... [Read More…]
Can’t we all just get along?
I'm not a Democrat. Or Republican. I think politicians are overpaid and don't fulfill their promises. Instead of watching the debates and the candidate's inspirational promotional videos, I prefer to watch the Bad Lip Reading versions of these videos on Youtube. I don't agree with President Obama about a lot of his political agendas and views. I ... [Read More…]
Issues over ‘left’ or ‘right’
Politics is something that we can never escape. It is always around us. Some of us just accept what we hear. Instead of actually looking deeper at the candidates and researching what they believe, we make up our minds on who we are voting for purely on what we hear about them from others. When I was younger I was one of those people. I would ... [Read More…]
