Tucked away on Pulido Street next to the Mecca for sororities and fraternities, Brown Bag, Pulido's is a little Mexican joint that claims to have the best reasonably priced Mexican food in town.

I write in response to an article printed Thursday, Oct. 27, talking about Air Force Coach Fisher DeBerry saying that the loss to TCU is from a lack of black players. He makes the comment that black players run faster, and that that is why they lost the game. That might be true; it might not be true.What I cannot understand is why this political correctness has gone so far that it has become ridiculous. It seems to me that no one can say anything anymore without being reprimanded for their comments.
