Political news now gained in modern ways
During the fall, school begins, football season kicks off, temperatures drop (in some parts of the country), Starbucks releases it's Pumpkin Spice Latte - and a vicious battle often ensues, polluting television with awful campaign ads.

The waffle with waffle cones
Where are the waffle cones? I love ACU. I really do. But you can't expect me not to get a little upset when they take away my waffle cones. It was one big tease. One. Big. Lie.

Upon arriving in Abilene, students hailing from larger cities with flourishing music scenes are generally shocked at the sparse selection of live music here. For those that don't want to listen to the live background music of Lucky Mule Saloon or Midnight Rodeo, there are few options outside of an ... [Read More…]
Division move won’t bring immediate change
The move to Division 1 will literally be a game changer. Goodbye, Angelo State and Tarleton. Hello, Sam Houston and Stephen F. Austin. It will be exciting to see ACU moving on to bigger and better things. To see how we measure up to these new schools. To be able to put a D1 school on our resumes. To be out of the same division as McMurry. It's ... [Read More…]
