Due Date has mixed results

“Due Date” has mixed results

Published Nov 22, 2010

A lot of you could say you've been on a road trip, but I think considerably fewer would say they couldn't stand the people they were going with.

One of the main characters in the road trip in "Due Date" is an effeminate, bumbling fool with a bulldog. That would be Zach Galifianakis' character, Ethan Tremblay, who is basically a reprise of Alan from "The Hangover," an homage to a much better comedy.

Process of isolation often inspires great art

Published Nov 22, 2010

Dedication to the art of music is demonstrated to perfection in the form of indie folk band Bon Iver. Their album, titled "For Emma, Forever Ago," was based on inspiration found by lead singer Justin Vernon during a period in which he isolated himself in remote woods in Wisconsin.

The alleged purpose of this isolation was to recover from personal issues and agonies, including, but not limited to, breaking up with a girlfriend and a former band. Whether or not you enjoy their music, it is impossible not to admire dedication like that.

Hawaii, MWC join forces for the better

Published Nov 22, 2010

According to sources such as ESPN and the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, the University of Hawaii is in the finalizing stages of having its football team join the Mountain West Conference for the 2012 season. Oh my poor, conflicted soul.

Being born and raised in Hawaii, I've been a Warriors fan for the past 18 years. I have fond memories of covering them on the sidelines as a intern for KHON2 News in Honolulu, and I vividly remember the 2007 campaign, led by Colt Brennan, that sent Hawaii to its first BCS game. I rejoice at the move that will showcase and exemplify UH's talent.

Chancellor Victor Boschini's total compensation put him at No. 30 in a survey that listed 30 of the highest-paid private college leaders, released last Sunday by The Chronicle of Higher Education. Boschini's total compensation was $1,005,814, according to the survey.

Boschini said his position in the survey wasn't something he would think about.

Mutual dislike of BCS should unite Frogs, Broncos fans

Published Nov 18, 2010

One of the first memories I have of the year 2007 was celebrating what I thought was the failure and imminent collapse of the Bowl Championship Series. A team from Boise, Idaho, had beaten the University of Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl, 43-42, with what was probably the best play call I've ever seen.

At my high school, after the game, everyone was talking about how great the Boise State Broncos were, and I happily joined in singing the Broncos' praises. Conversations about the team continued when I arrived at TCU, but in a markedly different tone.
