By: Tyler Deardorff 5. The Walking Dead (AMC) Ok, I’m cheating on this one since it just premiered but you can’t get more original than having a show about zombies.

Iowa football: Why it should get the respect it deserves
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 … Continue reading

Regardless of … Continue reading

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.
