Ticketmaster unfairly duped students
By Ezra Noon-Song | Nov. 19, 2008To me, being a Gator means going to every game in orange and blue, applauding our team and loudly booing the opposing team for even thinking it had a chance to survive entering our Swamp. I let them know this during every offensive drive, even after my throat is sore.

Album review: Snow Patrol – "A Hundred Million Suns"
By ROBERT HILSON | Nov. 19, 2008Q magazine calls this album "essential," which suggests that Snow Patrol has pictures on the editors of said magazine. The two defining elements about this hook-challenged, wuss-rock are its neutrality - this is the Switzerland of pop music - and "If There's a Rocket Tie Me to It." Great title. "Take Back the City" and "Please Just Take These Photos from My Hands," which have ho-hum titles, are actually peppy, catchy little numbers. "Peppy" and "catchy" cannot otherwise be associated with this record. For those who noticed the inconsistency of this review - a neat line or two scattered amongst sketchy, bland ones - now you know what it's like to listen to "A Hundred Million Suns."

A close friend and I both recently came to this conclusion!

Nov. 18, 2008As someone who worked against Amendment 2 and felt hurt by the results, I appreciate the general sentiment behind Todd Portnowitz's guest column, but I take serious issue with the implication that all of Sen. John McCain's supporters are unreasonable or immature voters.
