John Luke Fabian Jfabian1@uwyo.edu @HouseFabian “Josh Adams with the shot, boy!” – Drake, probably. The senior star had a career and record tying night, knocking down nine 3-pointers in route to a season sweep of the Colorado State Rams. The Wyoming Cowboys earned the 84-66 win on Saturday, with Adams lighting it up from deep….
Jeremy Rowley Jrowley1@uwyo.edu When I was about 15 years old, I watched “The Sixth Sense” for the first time. I was in a hotel room for a hockey trip and the movie just happened to start playing on one of the channels. At this point, the film had been out for over a decade, but…
Kendyll Ferrall Kferral1@uwyo.edu Christmas came a few weeks early for the College Football Playoff selection committee. This last Sunday, the 12 members of the committee achieved what once seemed impossible in a sport famous for its debate and chaos come postseason play: agreement. No. 1 Clemson, No. 2 Alabama, No. 3 Michigan State…

Matt Rooney mrooney3@uwyo.edu With all the new bits coming out about marginalization of groups and people I would like to point out something that is very hard for young, college-aged adults to believe: just because someone does not like the things you do or treats you like a huge tool, because you…

Austin Morgan amorga14@uwyo.edu When ideology enters, reason evacuates and, in the power vacuum, fascists mobilize. The American public, transfixed with the spectacles created by political ideology and its anti-intellectual machinery—Donald Trump, climate change denial, the war on drugs and others— have become zombified lobotomites. With a hypnotic fervor, the public is lullabied…

Matthew Fabian mfabian1@uwyo.edu Hip-hop culture is alive and well, just maybe not in Wyoming. Considering everyone gets excited about “Swing Dance” night at the Cowboy Saloon as opposed to “Bump-‘n-grind” night at the club, it is pretty easy to say hip-hop and rap has not taken roots in Wyoming. Which, I guess, is fine. I…
Alec Schaffer aschaff3@uwyo.edu The City of Laramie announced a hiring freeze on Friday, which went into effect Monday; this is following the recent state-hiring freeze. The goal of the city-freeze is to prevent later budget shortcomings, City Manager Janine Jordan said. “A hiring freeze will assist the city in meeting the fiscal challenges that…
Matthew Fabian Mfabian1@uwyo.edu History repeated itself in Boise on Saturday night, and the Wyoming Cowboy football program fell to 0-10 all-time against the Broncos with a 34-14 loss. The loss entails lost bowl eligibility for the Cowboys, who can finish no better than 5-7 at the end of this season. Not that this factoid…
