Michelle Obama Rallies NH College Students

Sen. Barack Obama’s wife told New Hampshire college students Wednesday that the “smart, respectful” tone her husband displayed during his last debate is the attitude he’ll bring to the White House.

The Young Guns of NCAA Football

Who says experience is everything?

Maybe more than ever before, coaches are turning to the best player available rather than the oldest guy on the depth chart. This season, there are a number of young guns who are proving experience may not be the best factor when deciding who takes the snaps on Saturday afternoons.

Even at storied programs, the next in line is rarely the next in line. Over a dozen underclassmen are answering the call of duty this season and are amongst the nation’s best at the quarterback position. [Love of Sports]

Sure he looks like a toolbox but this guy is my kind of guy, and the ladies at Zeta Tau Alpha know what’s up. [Uncoached]

5 Reasons Why College Students Need to Vote

So why don’t politicians pay more attention to the issues that you care about, like the price of tuition, financial aid, and the availability of entry level jobs? Because traditionally, college students have had relatively low voter turnout. Instead, the candidates pay lots of attention to issues of importance to the elderly, like Social Security, because the elderly vote! [edu In Review]

College Basketball Pioneer Don Haskins Dies at 78

The glow from Don Haskins’ greatest triumph was mostly a memory when Disney decided to take another look.

Then came the movie “Glory Road” and a whole new generation learned what Bob Knight already knew about his old friend’s career — and legacy.

“Don got more out of his teams and players than any coach who has ever coached college basketball,” Knight said.

Haskins, the Hall of Fame coach credited with helping break color barriers in college sports in 1966 when he used five black starters to win a national basketball title for Texas Western, died Sunday. He was 78. [Sports Illustrated]

We agree it’s a good discussion, but we prefer to address more perky, er, pertinent matters. Which cheerleaders are better? [FanIQ]

5. Put YouTube terminals in the voting booths
You wanna know something? Us college kids are really just big magnets. If you open a dumb video of an overweight thirteen year-old kid singing a pop song from the Falkland Islands, every single student within a mile will be chuckling over your shoulder within fifteen seconds.

If our presidential candidates really want to get the 18-24 crowd out and voting, they should start making films of themselves running drunk and naked across the interstate. Right now, candidates are mostly remembered for being a bunch of lumpy old guys who still haven’t lowered the drinking age. They can do so much better: the McCain/Romney version of “Daft Bodies”, for example, would totally steal the election. I’d vote for them.

4. “Reframe the debate”
This year, the American people are concerned with economic something and whatever with foreclosure blah blah drilling offshore and climate change, very important to something Iraq timetable mumble mumble. Man! The issues are tiring! I need a nap!

So it’s not surprising that college students don’t get out to rep their favorite pols. All they talk about is boring crap that sucks! You know what college kids like? Movies. It’s what we care about. “Iraq” is far away and hard to pronounce properly. All those cutthroat late-night debates need to be centered around the real questions — the tough questions, the ones that will get students waving big posters and burning their underwear.

If the United States of America was invaded by aliens which Presidential candidate would we want at the helm?

Who would be a better president during an alien invasion?
