BLOG: Greek guy breaks down relationships and when girls should just walk away
I believe every person on this campus who isn’t a complete introvert and has at least one female friend has heard the following at least once during each semester: “My boyfriend is such a jerk, like I don’t even know why I date him sometimes.” This sentence will inevitably be followed by the friends expressing […]
BLOG: Midterm procrastination
Once upon a time, Jackie had to write a midterm paper on existentialism. Since this triggered a bit of a crisis, she decided to try writing a blog instead. And so the cycle of procrastination continued. In the week since my paper was assigned, I’ve cleaned my dorm, clipped articles out of all The Volante […]
BLOG: Sideburn blues
Women have sideburns. They’re no Elvisonian-styled mutton chops, but we have them. (And yes, “Elvisonian” is a word. It was dubbed by Elvis fans to mean Elvis-like, or an Elvis aficionado.)

Slumping Coyotes return on the road against Oakland
After a tough loss Oct. 14, the Coyote women’s volleyball team is looking to improve themselves as they travel to Oakland this weekend.

USD rugby makes a name for itself
Among the many club sports spawned on the campus of the University of South Dakota, there is almost none more popular than rugby. The club sports over 50 members between both the men’s and women’s team. The men’s rugby club has been involved with the university since the late 1980s, and has had a successful […]

COLUMN: The time for a change is now
Disappointment. It’s one word that best sums up the University of South Dakota football teams’ performance thus far in its first full season in the Missouri Valley Football Conference. Pathetic. One word that explains USD’s second half against MVFC foe Missouri State October 13, where the Coyotes blew a 24-10 lead with six minutes left […]
COLUMN: Vikings’ fresh rebuilding process going smoothly in 2012 season
The Minnesota Vikings are off to a surprising 4-2 start, garnering attention league wide. The 2011 season was one to forget for all Minnesota fans, as the Vikings finished last in the NFC North, with a record of 3-13. After the season, the team cut ties with many veterans and was fully entrenched in a […]
