On Saturday afternoon, around the time that Wisconsin wide receiver Lee Evans caught his third or fourth touchdown pass behind the MSU secondary, I wonder how many television sets made that beep-crackle-and-fade noise they make when snapped off. It would be even more interesting to know how many of those blackened TV screens were accompanied with a four-letter word.
Madison, Wis. - Defense wins championships. But it also can lose them, as the MSU defense demonstrated by giving up 630 total yards to Wisconsin to remove itself from championship contention. The Badgers racked up the majority of their yards in the air (385), as quarterback Jim Sorgi directed an aerial assault to his favorite target, Lee Evans.
I'm 20 years old - going on 40. I'm an old soul stuck in a college student's body, but I'm determined to turn it around. While walking through the grocery store the other day, shopping for the perfect batch of apples and humming the tune "Build Me Up Buttercup," I realized it's time for me to rekindle my youth - or at least find it for the first time.

The only way I ever get things done is by making little lists for myself.

Madison, Wis. - It began with a flash of brilliance, but as the season has carried on, MSU's hopes have dimmed. Mistakes and injuries wore on the Spartans again as they lost their third straight game, this time a 56-21 loss to Wisconsin on Saturday at Camp Randall Stadium. The loss likely dropped the Spartans (7-4 overall, 4-3 Big Ten) out of contention for a New Year's Day bowl game and also dropped them out of The Associated Press and ESPN/USA Today top 25 polls. "We got our tails kicked, right up between our shoulders," head coach John L.
I was stunned and saddened to learn of the loss of Ruth Simms Hamilton. As a freshman, I took an interdisciplinary studies in social science course taught by Hamilton, and she really inspired me to look toward sociology as a major. I remember meeting with her during her office hours, and we must have talked for more than an hour on current events, class, her African Diaspora project and my life.

Let the deceased rest in peace, they say. But in the case of rapper Tupac Shakur, do you believe in "Ghosts"? On "Ghosts," the disturbing second track on "Tupac Resurrection," Tupac wants listeners to know that even though he's dead, his name will live on.
Madison, Wis. - As far as blowouts go, MSU has seen plenty in the past two seasons. But this year was supposed to be different. With a new coach and a new attitude, the Spartans were supposedly beyond getting torn apart.

I recently discovered that I have been lied to by my professors, my teachers, my mentors and anyone else who told me that "if you work hard, you will succeed." If that is the case, why am I working three part-time jobs just to make ends meet?
