Our Perspective... Allow The Appalachian a moment to be sarcastic and a little mean. This year’s Homecoming theme is Mountaineer Mardi Gras, and it’ll be blast. There are few things better in life than painting banners and watching the football team give the Wofford Terriers the Bob Barker treatment. However, The Appalachian questions the wisdom of taking the trashiest, raunchiest tradition New Orleans has to offer, and bringing it to Boone to be enjoyed by thousands of college students, many of whom do not need an excuse to get drunk any weekend, much less this particular one.
Democrats think 2004 is revenge of nerds
When did the Democratic Party become the party of computer nerds, Lord of the Rings fanatics and marching band heroes? John F. Kennedy, they are not. Instead of actually standing up to the Republican Party and its scare tactics, the Democrats seem to find it easier to lie down and take it like a little boy who wants his mommy.
How does this sound Red Sox fans? Down in the series and things are not looking too great. Entering your last at bat of the next game, down a couple runs, a loss puts you out of contention. Bang. They tie it up and send the game to extra innings to eventually win by a walk-off home run to the stands. The next day, same scenario, same result. Down to your last at bat, tie it up again. Send it to extra innings and win via a blooper hit over second base to bring in the winning run. Sounds like the recent American League Championship Series (ALCS) between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees, right? Wrong.
