Cody Hawkins threw three interceptions in the 20-47 loss to Kansas State University last weekend. University of Kansas quarterback Todd Reesing has thrown four interceptions the entire season. Both standing 5-11 (although rumor has it Reesing is more like 5-9), the 19-year-old quarterbacks are only the beginning of the stats standing against the Buffs in their game against Kansas this weekend.

According to a specific mathematical law, the probability that an event occurs is defined as the number of outcomes involving its occurrence, divided by the total number of its possible outcomes. The 2007 Colorado Rockies, the unbeatable, anonymous black jerseys of Major League Baseball, have broken this law.

Everyone has to face adversity. In life it seems that in order to be successful and to be a winner, a team, player or person needs to overcome the most difficult circumstances.

If you look at the best teams or best players in sports, it’s obvious. The upper-echelon organizations and individuals seem to have figured out how to fight through adversity.

Congratulations Microsoft and Xbox 360, you have won. Now I am not going to lie, I am huge fan of the Xbox 360. It is not that I don’t like the Playstation 3 or the Wii, because I do. They are both great systems. The processing power in the Playstation 3 is phenomenal, and although the game library is climbing, it is still lacking heavy hitters.

It’s mid-afternoon and I’m tired and hungry. When I search for a smart snack I look for something both convenient and good for me — a nutrition bar. Some brands are definitely better than others when it comes to taste and satisfaction. Ranked from worst to best, I have outlined all you need to know about what’s up to par so you can “pass the bar.”

I live in a college town, in a neighborhood full of college-aged people. In my neighborhood, I live in one of eight town homes. The other seven house my fellow college students.

I live in a loud neighborhood. I’ve gotten used to wearing earplugs at night and shutting my windows – even when it’s 90 degrees out. It’s part of living where I live.

I’ve heard people yell at each other at one in the morning. I’ve heard the annoying banter of a guy trying to seduce the unconvinced female. And I put up with it — to a certain point.

I got the middle finger Saturday after-whoa-forgetting to put on my blinker before a left-hand turn, but that was the high point of a boring week.

So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that I watch MTV’s hit pseudo-reality drama “The Hills” like it’s a televised visual Bible flowing out of the HD screen on my TV.

Once I graduate from college, I will be signing away my first-born child to CU. Yes, it’s unfortunate, but this seems to be the price I have to pay for going to a renowned university and pursing degrees in the two fields I enjoy.

Check it out.

Just because a person can get high or drunk does not necessarily mean they should. College is a place for experimentation and self-exploration. It is here at CU that many have been away from home for the first time in their lives – out of the family home with the ever present parental influence is a new found freedom.

I met a girl at the gym last winter.

I got her number and name, and with that I was Fred Astaire, dancing on the ceiling and leaving victorious yelling voicemails on my best friend’s phones after she returned my first call.

We had a date. Imagine it this way.
