By Don Kershaw | Sep. 10, 2008Let me get this straight: The Gator Nation moans and complains about how classless Georgia football coach Mark Richt was during last year's Gators-Bulldogs match up, but they see no lack of class in Urban's attempt to run up the score?

By Jote Thompson | Sep. 9, 2008As a supporter of presidential candidate Bob Barr, I would like to respond to Kyle Robisch's commentary by saying thank you.

Steve Miller Band for all ages
By Grace Willberg | Sep. 9, 2008Contrary to a letter written to the editor Tuesday, I can safely assume that there is life beyond Lil Wayne and Kanye West. We all love the infamous song "Lollipop," but if anybody appreciates good music they can also jam to "Jungle Love" and "The Joker" without having to be 50 years old.
