The Buck stops here: kicking off campaign for Congressional seat

Former BYU defensive lineman and Washington Redskin alum Jason Buck can “no longer stand by while Barack Obama…destroys the fabric of our government.” With Buck’s strong statements bashing the administration’s lavish spending, the All-American linebacker announced that he will seek the Republican nomination for Utah’s 2nd Congressional District to tackle Obama’s free spending. Buck wants a leaner government that is “pro-family and fiscally sound.” Buck will have to face-off against a litany of fellow conservatives for the GOP nomination....

Bill O’Brien is good for Penn State

Now that the dust has settled, it is clear that Penn State’s acquisition of New England Patriots offensive coordinator Bill O’Brien will prove to be a good move for a scandal-ravaged university. For the first time in nearly half a century there will be no Paterno on the Penn State sidelines.

The news should not come to any surprise as Washington boasted one of the worst defenses in school history allowing 453.3...

Virginia Tech struggles to sell BCS tickets, students guilt tripped

Virginia Tech is having difficulties in selling its allotment of 17,500 tickets for the 2012 Allstate Sugar Bowl. As of Monday evening, Tech only sold about 9,500 tickets.

In a desperate attempt to boost ticket sales, Tech’s top brass asked, if not guilted, fans to purchase proxy tickets. “The Athletics Department is asking Hokie fans that cannot make this year’s Allstate Sugar Bowl to...
