By Darrell Puckett There’s a new attitude in Auburn athletics brewing.  It’s been circulating in the atmosphere ever since athletic director Jay Jacobs hired Gus Malzahn.  Sunny Golloway was hired next to coach baseball, and then came Bruce Pearl for basketball.  Jacobs has potentially established himself with the ranks of Louisville athletic director, Tom Jurich, as colleges’ top AD. Auburn basketball has been nothing short of terrible for years and facilitates one of the worse football-basketball college programs.  Of course, Coach Malzahn brought Auburn football back to dominance, but how about basketball?  Obviously, Tony Barbee wasn’t the answer and was fired after AU’s loss in the SEC Tournament. Who’s going to bring Auburn back?  That answer was simple.  Bruce Pearl. ...

By Nikki Headley You wake up and realize that it’s Easter. This can only mean one thing: the Easter bunny came to visit. You walk to the living room to see your youngest brother bouncing up and down with anticipation. You see a large basket in his little hands. You look at him and ask, “Where does the Easter bunny come from?” Holidays and folklores, we all have them. Whether it’s Christmas, The Fourth of July or Easter, we all have traditions.

Avoiding be...

By Nikki Headley You pull into the school parking lot and trudge to the main building. You pull out you phone and begin scrolling down your news feed. You trip on a rock and glance up to realize you are only halfway through the parking lot. You continue to walk when you suddenly see an overly dramatic status update. You stop and begin to read all of it. Suddenly you hear a loud honk. You look up to realize a line of cars are being held up by you standing in the middle of the parking lot. We spend hours and hours looking at boxes. Those boxes being televisions, computer screens, smartphone screens, and many more electronics. It’s disturbing to see millions of my class mates with their heads buried in their phone. When I try to talk to them about something most people give generic an...
