Lucas Gebhart Editor-in-Chief It was a pure consequence of fate that I ended up in this position, and it is with a heavy heart that I write this final goodbye. In high school, I was nothing special. I was a middle-of-the-road student with a learning disability which gave birth to […]

Lucas Gebhart Editor-in-Chief Thumbs up: Green bean casserole By far the best dish at Thanksgiving, it has the perfect mix of softness, creaminess and crunchiness that makes for a premiere side dish to the rest of the Thanksgiving feast. It’s not the most popular dish, but all that means is […]

Logan Ramsey Associate Editor At the beginning of November, I booked a room at the Mountain Valley Inn when I was in Missoula and ever since then, I’ve had a hellish experience trying to get my room refunded. If I had read a single review, I would’ve been warned against […]

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 […]

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: 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. […]
