Bright & Early: Rumor Mill Edition
Good morning, Nashville. Thanks to some confused protesters, Rep. Jim Cooper has canceled Friday’s public appearance at West End Middle School where he was supposed to welcome students back to school. Town hall meetings about healthcare reform have been happening all across the country, and somehow word hit the street that Rep. Cooper would be [...]
Happy Hour: Hug A Hilltopper
Big news this afternoon as the Western Kentucky campus and several local schools were put on lockdown after some gunmen dressed in black were reportedly running around Pierce-Ford Tower (that giant dorm on Main Campus). The lockdown was lifted a little while ago and five students were taken into custody. We’re happy to report that [...]

Bright & Early: Ballin’ Edition
Good morning, Nashville. It was a win-win weekend for us in the football department… well, make that a win-win-win. Not only did the Titans make quick work of the Ravens in Baltimore (stretching their record to 5-0), but TSU mowed right over UT-Martin 30-27 in overtime, and who can forget Vandy? In a complete upset, [...]
