By: Tyler Deardorff Alright, I’m not just saying this because I’m a die hard Iowa fan. I’m saying it because it is true. Iowa football has done a 360 in 3 years and turned out to be a great, diverse team. Granted, Iowa has never been a horrible team. Well…let’s just say they weren’t after [...]

“The Social Network” Review
By Tyler Deardorff, our new addition to Thoughts Out Loud/HauteThought When everyone heard Hollywood was going to make a Facebook movie, I’m sure the thoughts that crossed your mind were: “Really?

Yes, I have decided to stop being lazy and actually get back to my blog. Now that school is over and going out on weeknights has ceased I don’t have homework, I have absolutely no excuse not to be working on this site. Unfortunately, the first thing that inspired me to get this going again [...]

I really need to start surrounding myself with less talented people. Some sing, some dance, some are great writers and some, like Leah, are amazing artists. Despite how great my stick figures may appear, they are nothing compared to the intricate details Leah Roszkowski includes in her art…and she’s extremely modest about it. Regardless of [...]

American Idol Finale
Winner: Kris Allen Group song with top 13: So What? (I’m Still a Rockstar). Ooo yikes. No good. Pink should stick to that song. David Cook: Permanent. How surreal it must be to sing at the finale. A year ago he was probably a nervous wreck. Now, he’s a platinum artist. No big deal. Norman [...]
