Lucas Gebhart Editor-in-Chief Thumbs up: Daylight savings Falling back is great. Springing forward kinda sucks. But last week, we fell back an hour and even though we only gained one hour, it felt like we gained five. All day Sunday and most of Monday, I looked up at the clock […]

Lucas Gebhart Editor-in-Chief Last week, I applied to rent a house. My potential landlord wanted to run a background and credit check, which I get. They wanted to make sure I wasn’t going to run a meth lab and that I could pay my rent on time. That’s normal. I […]
Lucas Gebhart Editor-in-Chief I walked into the bathroom of O’Malley’s Sports Pub and Grill, a popular sports bar in Rathdrum near Coeur d’Alene, to find a middle-aged man looking deep into my soul. He was tall, bearded, wore camo jeans, a bright orange hoodie and a Cabela’s ballcap. He could […]
Lucas Gebhart Editor-in-Chief Thumbs up: Mug Night I’ve haven’t been able to go as much this semester as I was the past couple semesters, but Hooligans’ weekly cheap beer night is great way to start the week. Mondays suck, so the fact that I can go to Hooligans and pay […]
Lucas Gebhart Editor-in-Chief Thumbs up: “Ghosts of Manila” Just a brilliant book written by former Sports Illustrated writer Mark Kram. Featuring the three-part trilogy between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, this book dives much deeper into the lives of these two fighters (especially Ali) than I ever expected. It is […]
Logan Ramsey Associate Editor On Nov. 6, Paulette Jordan will be one of a handful of options voters have for Idaho’s next governor. No matter what you think of her as a candidate, it would be a historic day for Idaho and for the country if she were elected. She […]
Lucas Gebhart Editor-in-Chief Thumbs up: Pauline Thiros ISU’s interim athletic director has spent the last 23 years working in various roles at ISU. She seems to understand that there are some fundamental flaws to ISU’s athletic department. Originally, President Satterlee said she wouldn’t be considered a candidate for the full-time […]
Lucas Gebhart Editor-in-Chief Thumbs up: Beating Idaho For the first time since 1995 (longer than I have been alive) ISU beat Idaho, 62-28. An absolute annihilation of its state rival in the form of a nice, warm welcoming back to the Big Sky. It was a game ISU almost had […]
Lucas Gebhart Editor-in-Chief Thumbs up: Breakfast burritos They’re easy, they’re good and they’re cheep. Breakfast burritos is what has essentially fed me in college. Most people say it’s roman, I say it’s breakfast burritos. Load about four eggs into a pan, sprinkle some chees of a tortilla, slap some decent […]
Lucas Gebhart Editor-in-Chief Thumbs up: Homecoming bonfire is on Friday this year Why was this not done years ago? This is the best part of Homecoming week. I mean, we literally burn the other team’s logo to the ground. How cool is that? But nobody could go before because it […]
Lucas Gebhart Editor-in-Chief Thumbs up: Student discounts When I found out you can get Hulu with a Spotify premium subscription, it blew my mind (look it up, it’s awesome). You have to sit through some commercials, but it’s well worth it considering you are paying no additional costs for it. […]
Lucas Gebhart Editor-in-Chief About 13 months ago, a group of football boosters known as the Football Alumni Team (F.A.T) submitted an op-ed to the Idaho State Journal calling for the removal of former president Author Vailas and former athletic director Jeff Tingey. The group said they were going to withhold […]
Lucas Gebhart Editor-in-Chief Thumbs up: Fall is almost here The first day of fall is a little over a week away. That means the weather will be cooler, football will be in full swing, baseball’s playoff race will be heating up and Sam Adams Octoberfest will make its yearly appearance. […]
Clayton Koff Staff Writer I often contemplate why music is such a polarizing activity. It is one of the purest and most natural forms of enjoyment on the planet. As a species we are completely saturated in music, from movies, videogames, the radio and even the rhythmic sounds of nature. […]
Lucas Gebhart Editor-in-Chief Thumbs up: New direction for athletics I know I pump up President Satterlee a lot in this column, but he’s been pushing ISU in the right direction ever since he got here. The change in direction of athletics is another step to putting ISU on the map. […]
