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.

“Pitch Perfect” hits a high note
The previews for “Pitch Perfect” made me think that it would just be another comedy whose only funny parts were revealed in the commercials, however, it was hilarious.
