I planned on getting away from the topic of school this week but as I sat down in my den with my quill and bottle of ink, my mind could not get away from class. You see, I just received a grade that is… below my standards so to speak, but I did not earn this grade because I did my work; I went above and beyond studying and creating a piece of work that would easily …

Despite the score, Head Coach Butch Lauffer said a win against UT-Permian Basin is never easy.
“They are always a tough team for us to play,” Lauffer said. “They’re going to be motivated. I’m sure they will be well prepared to play. They are going to try …

I know it is frustrating that the football team is 0-3. Frankly, it flat out sucks. Over the past four years, the Buffs have posted records 10-2, 11-1, 12-1 and 11-2. Thanks to Head Coach Don Carthel, the football team has built a strong reputation for being a winning program.
