For offensive coordinator Mouse Davis, the prevailing storyline in Portland State’s disheartening 29-12 loss to No. 5 Montana Saturday was crystal clear. “It’s simple-turnovers,” Davis said without even being asked a question following the game. For the most part Davis is spot on, as Portland State was careless with the ball throughout the game, giving it away a total of four times, with three interceptions and a fumble.
Question: What do you get when you cross a no-nonsense gumshoe dog, a manic rabbit-thing with a penchant for violence, a hefty dose of sardonic wit and questionably legal police work? Well, other than a lot of matted dog and rabbit fur, a wrinkled suit and fedora, and some intangibles, I have no idea. But it might be something close to Sam & Max: Season One, a throwback point-and-click adventure title now making its console debut.
No matter who you are, you likely have strong feelings about Michael Moore. Maybe you think he’s a brilliant satirist. Maybe you think he’s a noble American. Maybe you think he’s a hackneyed propagandist.
For senior linebacker Andy Schantz, Saturday’s matchup with No. 5 Montana is the perfect example of why he plays college football. “If you don’t feel something different in these kind of games, you’re probably playing the wrong sport,” Schantz said.
Tuesday night was historic, epic, inspiring, tear inducing and incredible. Voters turned out in record numbers to elect the son of a Kenyan man and a young woman from Kansas to the presidency of the United States. Four years ago, that notion seemed more than unlikely–it was a near-impossible dream.
WASHINGTON (AP)—Barack Obama swept to victory as the nation’s first black president Tuesday night in an electoral college landslide that overcame racial barriers as old as America itself. “Change has come,” he told a huge throng of jubilant supporters.
The son of a black father from Kenya and a white mother from Kansas, the Democratic senator from Illinois sealed his historic triumph by defeating Republican Sen. John McCain in a string of wins in hard-fought battleground states—Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Iowa and more.
Of the many, many Portland film fests strewn throughout the year, the Northwest Film and Video Festival is easily one of the best. This isn’t because the films screened show great technical achievement, though they sometimes do, and it isn’t because they are always amazing, though they often are.
Beyonce once sang: “All the women who are independent throw your hands up at me.” Now, more than ever, we are seeing women “throw their hands up” while at the forefront of all things: politics, sports, music and art. Remember it wasn’t until 1920 that women were allowed to vote.
If there is a common thread echoed among Portland State students over the results of the 2008 presidential election, it can perhaps be summed up with a word President-elect Barack Obama himself used over the course of his campaign: hope.
