We sat down to ask a few questions to the AUMnibus sportswriter Darrell Puckett. - What's your major? My major is sports journalism with a minor in photography. - What are you trying to accomplish at AUM? I’m trying to accomplish the incredible. Not many people can make it through college and then actually get a successful job afterwards. I want to make people get excited when they see my article or sports blog. - What are some of your career goals? To write Auburn recruiting or bass fishing would be ideal, but other than that, I’d love to be…

By Darrell Puckett Johnny Manziel who?  That’s the question that Alabama and Auburn fans have been asking this season after both defeating Texas A&M.  The real question should be, why not Manziel?  Why haven’t you beat the top two teams in Alabama after winning the Heisman trophy as a redshirt freshman?   Can Johnny Football beat the tough SEC teams without a supporting defense?  This week I take a look into Texas A&M football this season and why they’re 5-2. Manziel has completed 159 of 217 pass attempts for 2,289 yards, 18 touchdowns with 7 interceptions, while completing 73.3 percent of…

By Jessica Klinner     Throughout the years, Hollywood has produced some of the scariest movies. Our nightmares are brought to life before our eyes.

By Matt Estes Let me introduce you to a feature that a typical Windows user doesn't know about. This is Device Manager, and it's been at the heart of Windows software since the Windows 95 operating system. Device Manager is simply a list of all of the hardware in and attached to a computer. Every component associated with a computer is featured in a drop down menu. If something goes wrong on a computer, this is the first place a professional will look to diagnose a problem. If a device is broken or not attached properly, it will be denoted…

By Darrell Puckett The SEC has been considered the toughest and most competitive all-around conference in college football for years.  This comes as no surprise to a recruiting guru because the SEC schools have dominated the Rivals rankings.  Who are the top three freshman players in the SEC this season?  I feel that these three have set themselves apart from others. Alex Collins from Arkansas has rushed for over 100 yards in four games this season, which puts him on the same level of Georgia’s Keith Marshall and Todd Gurley last year. The talented freshman back has been pounding the…

  By Matt Estes   According to Metacritic, a site that amalgamates critical opinion of media, "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" is the highest rated in video game history. This has lead many people to tout it as the greatest video game of all time. I agree with that assessment. I first played "Ocarina of Time" when I was 16 years old, which means I first played the game a full 10 years after it was released. Growing up with the "Sonic the Hedgehog" and "Kirby" franchises battling it out for favorite video game series, I decided to…
