Film Review: Machete

Film Review: Machete

Published Sep 16, 2010

Are you looking for a gritty action movie with a low-budget feel, but big-name actors? Then "Machete" is for you. How about a political movie where every nook and cranny is filled with serious, literal allegories to the present immigration situation? If that's the case, probably not.

While most don't take it that way, some people on the far right believe it is a call to action, which is obviously nonsense when you view the film.

Rivals TCU and Baylor meet once again on the field

Published Sep 16, 2010

An undefeated Horned Frogs team led by Davey O'Brien crushed an undefeated Baylor University Bears squad 39-7 on Oct. 29, 1938 before going on to win the national championship.

On Saturday, in front of a sold-out crowd at Amon G. Carter Stadium, the Frogs will face a Baylor team that's 2-0 for the first time since 2005.

Quarterback Andy Dalton made his collegiate debut in 2007 against Baylor. As a redshirt freshman, he threw for 205 yards and a touchdown, leading the Frogs to a 27-0 victory.

Freedom of speech deserves day of honor

Published Sep 16, 2010

As tempting as it may be to silence flag burners or to censor those opinions we'd rather not hear, we must appreciate the privilege we have been given to live in a country that provides each of us with both guidelines and freedom.

Though allowing certain viewpoints to flourish might make us cringe, it is still important that Americans remember to appreciate the laws and freedoms provided for in the Constitution.

A breakdown of Saturdays game against Baylor

A breakdown of Saturday’s game against Baylor

Published Sep 16, 2010

When Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin suffered a season-ending injury in the Bears' third game of the season last year, it effectively derailed any postseason plans Baylor may have had before the team ever really started.

Baylor's offense fell from averaging almost 196 rushing yards per game in 2008 to about 101 yards mostly without Griffin in 2009. But the Bears' quarterback isn't just a runner. He completed 65 percent of his throws through two games in 2009, with 481 yards and no interceptions along with four touchdowns.

Childhood obesity has massive effects on economy

Childhood obesity has massive effects on economy

Published Sep 15, 2010

The economy. Healthcare. Unemployment. Obesity. One of these things is not like the other 8212; or so it seems.

For one reason or another, pressing issues in the United States are placed into what seem to be organized compartments. Consequently, any form of correlation is thrown to the wind and different groups must fend for themselves.

In the case of obesity, it will only be so long until ignoring correlation leads to an undeniable causation.
