Before I begin, big ups to Smoo for its underwhelming "Pony Up" campaign. If indifferent fans and a team stuck between awful and mediocre is what gets that Dallas crowd going, then Godspeed.It was like any other Saturday in college football. The sun was out, students were tailgating like it was a 9 to 5 job and of course, Notre Dame was losing. But with my family being in town and several Schieffer School projects looming over my head like the black cloud of death, I sat the game out and decided to come out of fan retirement.

Students complain about their professors being too hard on their papers when it comes to grammar and spelling. But can you blame them? Professors have to grade papers from star pupils at the "Derek Zoolander Center for Children Who Can't Read Good and Wanna Learn to Do Other Stuff Good Too."

Nike has found the solution to help you "Leave Nothing."A few weeks ago, when I was watching SportsCenter, I saw the new Nike football commercial during one of the breaks.

It was a well done 30- to 40-second clip in which you see a few of the best players in the league making plays with the help of Nike.

But, at the end of the commercial, I was not left thinking about football - or Nike. It actually made me think about Michael Vick.

Whether it's on ice or steaming hot, caffeinated or decaf, mixed with cream and sugar or made into a latte, coffee drinkers know it's all about options. For the past five semesters, they've have had the choice of ordering a fresh cup of Cafe Estima Blend, Starbucks' newest Fair Trade certified coffee, but this semester, the Fair Trade blend has disappeared from Frog Bytes and Bistro Burnett Cafe, giving coffee drinkers one options less.

The New York Times reported Sept. 10 that federal prison chaplains, acting under government orders, have been removing thousands of religious texts per penitentiary so only about 150 titles for each major religion will remain. These titles appear on an unreleased list of books approved by unnamed "experts."The Bureau of Prisons, an agency of the Justice Department, wants, in light of the 9/11 attacks, to prevent prisoners from reading books that might advocate violence or radicalize.
