15 Reasons UT Needs To Give USC Absolute Hell This Weekend
Sports Illustrated

This rivalry dates back to the 2006 Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA. The two teams had both been undefeated, creating a lot of tension on the field. Renowned as the greatest college football championship game of all time, the hype surrounding this weekend's upcoming game shouldn’t be a surprise. Longhorn and Trojan fans all over the country are going absolutely crazy. Times have changed though. Both teams have lost some extremely valuable players. Texas no longer has Vince Young and USC no longer has Reggie Bush. This week, USC is ranked the 4th best team in the country. Unfortunately, UT didn’t make the cut for rankings this week. Nonetheless UT can win; UT NEEDS to win. So Longhorns, show 'em what you got. Give 'em hell!

1. UT won the Rose Bowl back in '06

We need to show USC that we still have what it takes. They'll for sure play their hardest in attempts to seek revenge.

2. UT started this season in the most embarrassing way possible: losing to the University of Maryland.

3. UT just beat San Jose State 56-0.

There's a chance of a winning streak!

4. Beating USC is just another reason for the tower to be lit orange.

You know, for those spending this weekend in Austin.

5. Longhorn fans spent a ridiculous amount of money on airfare to get to LA.

Please don't disappoint! I'm a college student on a budget here!

6. Not to mention the price of the game ticket itself.

Again Texas, PLEASE don't disappoint.

7. Speaking of expenses…hey Californians, stop moving to Austin and raising the prices of EVERYTHING!

We get it, Austin is amazing and all, but stay where you are.

8. Let's show improvement in our defensive line by not letting USC QB, Sam Darnold, score.

9. Most USC students don’t even know the meaning behind their hand sign.

10. New head coach, Tom Herman, needs a win as big as this to keep fans' faith in the team.


11. Did I forget to mention Tom Herman is from California?


12. Weirdly enough, USC's head coach, Clay Helton, went to high school and college in Texas.

#texasforever

13. USC already had it's moment of glory in the 2017 Rose Bowl against Penn State.

14. After the tragedy of Hurricane Harvey, Texans need a reason to stay hopeful.

15. It's time for the title of "Champion" to return to UT.

For God's sake, we are Texas football. We're legendary.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
