BLOG: The wild side of dating in college
I heard a less-than-humorous joke once that went something like this: “A woman doesn’t want to spend her life cooking and cleaning, so she goes to college where she meets the man for whom she spends the rest of her life cooking and cleaning.” I know, my feminist senses are tingling too, but considering that […]
BLOG: Girls with guns
Let me preface this by saying I am not a feminist, but why is everyone so surprised that I know how to shoot a gun?

BLOG: I workout and you know it
As I sit here writing this, I am hyped up on endorphins because I just had a great workout. It got me thinking I have talked a little bit about exercise, but have focused more on healthy eating. Eating healthy is still an important part of a healthy lifestyle, but so is exercising. There are […]

McGovern leaves legacy of ‘civility and peace’ for USD students and staff
Bill Muller was a ball of nerves. On a nearly three-hour car ride during the 2008 campaigning season, Muller found himself one-on-one with the 1972 Democratic presidential nominee and former Sen. George McGovern. “I was so nervous about getting into a car crash with Senator McGovern next to me that he talked and I listened […]
Bison pummel Yotes 54-0 in Sioux Falls matchup
Not even the 64-miles separating the DakotaDome and Howard Wood Field was enough distance for the University of South Dakota football team to escape the woes that have stalked them this 2012 season. Failing to get anything started on offense, the Coyotes were shut out by new Missouri Valley Football Conference rival, North Dakota State […]
