90s Party with AneelApril 21st, 2011
Backstreet Boys. Spice Girls. Nelly. Notorious B I G. Nelly. 98 Degrees. All of these remind me of my childhood, one filled with great music and great times. Childhood was such a simple time in my life, and sometimes its fun to look back on. What’s even more fun is reliving your childhood all over again, which I did this … March MadnessMarch 15th, 2011
I’ve come to the conclusion that March is the best month of the year. No, it’s not the month of my birthday. No, it doesn’t have many holidays. And yes, school is still in session. March is the best month of the year because its jam-packed with festivities throughout the month. Spring Break, Spring Training, March Madness, the final stretch … Texas on TopFebruary 5th, 2011
As the Spring Semester comes into full swing, so too do college athletics. Even with a recent disaster for a football season, The University of Texas keeps finding ways to stay on top. With the promise of a bright future, UT Athletics inked a deal with ESPN worth $300 million over 20 years, which will go down as one of … Winter BreakDecember 17th, 2010
Yessss!! Schools out. It’s the moment everyone’s been waiting for ever since August when we sat down in our first class of the year. But why? This is a time for everyone to go home and see their friends, family, and anyone else they do not see during the year. While all of this is fun and dandy, I’ll be … Thanksgiving BreakNovember 30th, 2010
Hello all, Today I sit here writing this blog from my home in Bellaire, TX. It’s a nice break from Austin, where I’ve spent the last few weeks stressing about school work. Thanksgiving is a time of reflection, family, fun, and relaxation. I have taken all of these things to heart, giving myself a much needed break. I am not … Disappointments in SportsNovember 3rd, 2010
A record tells it all. It doesn’t matter how well you play, or how far you go, the only way to be happy with your sports team is if they win a championship. This year, I feel like I’ve experienced it all. My Houston Texans started the season on a tear, but lost to the lowly Dallas Cowboys (which some … TX-OU WeekendOctober 15th, 2010
It’s the weekend that everyone looks forward to every year. Corny dogs, charter busses, rivalries, and football. Texas OU weekend has become one of the biggest traditions in the Big 12 for the last decade. I went to TX-OU Weekend this year and had the experience of a lifetime. My whole pledge class took a bus to Dallas on Friday … God Bless TexasSeptember 28th, 2010
ZzzzZzzZZZZ It’s 9 A.M. Why am I up? Why is everyone in the hallway yelling so loud this early in the day? I had texts on my phone: “Are you alright?”, “Hey, are you safe?” I get up, ready to yell at everyone in the hallway “Be quiet! Some of us don’t have class yet!” But right as I walked … Game DaySeptember 12th, 2010
Pigskin is in the air. Ahhh, I can smell it. One week of football gone, and it’s only just begun. Tailgates, Traditions, ESPN, and smack talk. Nothing gets better. I woke up this morning with one thing on my mind: Football. Michigan, Texas, or whoever is on TV, it really doesn’t matter to me. As long as I’m watching a … Sigma Alpha Mu HouseAugust 31st, 2010
So it’s been almost two weeks since I moved into Austin, Texas, where I now live with 33 fraternity brothers in the UT Sigma Alpha Mu house. So many thoughts ran through my head the week before I moved in. Would I have privacy? Would people always be partying? What would it be like living with over 30 of my … Working While in CollegeAugust 15th, 2010
College is about many things. It’s about new experiences, learning new things, and making new friends. For me, it’s also about getting the experience now to pay off for the future. I am majoring in Sports Management, and I feel like it is important for me to get experience in the field of sports. With my dream of someday working … World CupAugust 4th, 2010
Friend: “Dude what are you doing?” Me: “Just setting my alarm to 9:00 A.M.” Friend: “Why?” Me: “Um…because the U.S. plays tomorrow….” Friend: “It’s that early?!?! How are we supposed to party tonight!?” I already knew the answer to that question. We’ll party just like every other night. And so we did. The night before the U.S. vs. Slovenia game, … A Real-World Sports DynastyAugust 2nd, 2010
47 total National Championships. A tradition like no other. One of the strongest fan-bases in the nation. The University of Texas at Austin can truly call itself an NCAA powerhouse. With basketball, football, and baseball all being ranked #1 in the nation at one point in the last year, it is hard to say that UT is not currently one … The Blood in Your VeinsJuly 20th, 2010
What does the blood in your veins look like? Is it crimson? Burnt Orange? Or is it Royal Blue? I was born October 10th, 1990 with Maize and Blue blood running throughout my veins. From birth, it was in me. I grew up in Houston, Texas, surrounded by UT fans for my whole life. I found myself at the lunch … Lebron James – The Legacy that Never WasJuly 18th, 2010
I can see it now…. “Ladies and Gentleman Lebron James has just won his 7th NBA Title! He will undoubtedly go down in the record books as one of the greatest players of all time!” This day could very well come, in the next decade or so. But Lebron James will be missing out on what could have been, had … |
