Matt Cassel is not the new Tom Brady. He is the updated version. Everyone is waiting for Matt Cassel to throw forty touchdowns in a year.

As many of you are aware, there is an extreme lack of housing at BSC this year. This is the topic of my first opinion because dealing with reslife is like pulling teeth. I had a terrible housing number last year and thus was not given a room at the time of selection.… Post the First Comment

With the value of the dollar decreasing, and the cost of college increasing, many families are finding it difficult to foot the bill for their children to attend college. Students who take out loans end up repaying the debt for years after their graduation.… Post the First Comment

Only four times in history has a second basemen won the MVP and hopefully by the end of this year, Dustin Pedroia will be added to that list. When you look at him standing at 5'10 and weighing in at 180 lbs, he isn't too intimidating. Now take a look at his stats and it tells a completely different story.… Post the First Comment

Fag. Short for faggot for those of you who didn't know. Who knew that one little word could have so much power?

I am not going to talk about Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady, Matt Cassel, or Desean Jackson - insert comment about his stupidity here - but I will discuss something else because those topics are way too easy. Here is what I will discuss. If you as a sports fan were forced to root for different teams other than the teams you religiously follow who would they be? I will discuss the four major sports for this topic: baseball, basketball, football, and hockey.… Post the First Comment

In May of 2006, President Dana Mohler-Faria announced that Bridgewater State College would undergo a shift to university status. Two years later, we are witnessing a campus transform.

Recently I have asked myself what does my generation actually stand for? What really matters to me and my peers? Further, why does it seem like we are getting more and more apathetic about things that should really rile us up? Where has all the fire and passion that defined our parent's generation gone? Maybe to some of us such a concept is lost because our parents were too young to have participated in the antics of the 60s and 70s.… Post the First Comment
