Hoosiers beat at the buzzer by Illini

·

One shot changed everything. With four seconds on the clock, Illinois took a timeout. Instead of focusing on Illini guard Demetri McCamey, who had already scored 17 points and dished eight assists, Crean prepared for his equally dangerous teammates. McCamey in-bounded the ball and received a hand-off pass before driving to his right, shooting over senior guard Devan Dumes and freshman forward Christian Watford. As his shot slid through the net, the final horn blared on a Hoosier 72-70 loss.

Why dat? Who dat? Wat?

·

I can understand the need to protect a company’s image and trademark, but to trademark “Who dat?” not only encourages unhealthy grammar but makes little sense on what counts as property.

Let’s dismiss the curry delusion

·

As a first-generation Indian-American, I have substantial experience with Indian cuisine, but I felt completely out of the loop when it gained popularity and started being referred to as “curry.” Was I less cultured than I thought? Had my mother failed to cook this trendy dish at home?

Roeder is no MLK, Jr.

·

Not only is the mention of a staunch advocate of nonviolence incontestably out of place here, but the use of a cultural hero like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to further the agenda of a murderer and the violent movement behind him is also sick.
