From starting near Hell's Half Acre to its time in Thorp Spring, Texas, to the fire that destroyed the Waco facilities, the university is finally able to celebrate its 100th anniversary in a hometown.

From the days when the old groundskeeper Cowboy Monroe would spray students with his garden hose if they dared step on the grass to when some pranksters placed a local cow in President Waits' office, the university has a rich history in Fort Worth.

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.

Dear City of Waco,

It has been more than 100 years since we were graced with your company and goodwill; more than a century since a fire on the fourth floor of our Main Building did more than $150,000 in damage to our facilities and resources and almost as long since we were forced to relocate due to financial strain.

It's only the third week of the college football season, but the season's prominent theme is already clear: upsets.

The prominent theme of upsets in only the third week of the college football season had changed some of the landscape.

After a tough loss to Boise State, Virginia Tech scheduled a tune-up game against Football Championship Subdivision team James Madison. The Hokies were heavily favored and it seemed like there was no way they would lose at home. The final score of the game was 21-16 and James Madison shocked the college football world.

For four semesters in a row, the university's Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. chapter never officially had more than three members. This semester marks the first time the group will meet the student handbook requirement of a minimum of seven active members.

According to the AKA website, the sorority is an international service organization and is the oldest Greek-lettered organization established by African-American college-educated women.

AKA President Liberty Bell said trying to revive the sorority has been challenging, but she takes it in stride every day.

When coaches or parents get caught preaching something they don't practice, their empty excuse is often "do as I say, not as it do."

Recently, in one of the many examples of the media blowing a hardly-newsworthy story out of proportion, many outlets have questioned the legitimacy of President Barack Obama's claim to be a Christian. Besides being annoyed to be hearing yet another story that doesn't warrant appearance in the "news," I've found the whole thing to be ridiculous.

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.
