RomanceWe run down the list of couple and dating archetypes just in case one of them might be you and your significant other. If it is, it’s time for some life changes, kid. Public service. Again.

PSA TimeWas the last feature a subtle public service announcement to the new freshmen? The towers always lead to mistakes and heartbreak, after all. You all are always looking out for the little guys.

– Jeremy

You guessed it. But not really. Indeed, the towers can lead to a grab bag of catastrophic romances, but it’s best to let those kids learn that for themselves. Sure, we hope we can shine some light on a few things for them, but come on now, we all came out of it fine. They have to find a way to get a cold, cold, robot heart somehow right? Right. Love and marriage is for suckers anyway. I just want to watch football in peace and drink beer, and sorry I have to run, there are few household items about to be angrily thrown my way.

– JM. . .

Save On Long-Distance Fees!As someone that has tried and failed at the long-distance

thing, I feel a bit like Tobias from Arrested Development when he and Lindsay are trying to save their marriage with an open relationship. “Oh, it never works, but it might work for us.” Or something along those lines. Learn it freshman!

– J.P.

Man, tough issue of letters on the freshman, kids. But I guess it’s not exactly wrong. We didn’t have all-you-can-eat Chick-Fil-A when I was a freshman, so I will hold an unnecessary grudge forever. I would have never wasted valuable meal points at Cate! However, you bring up a good point. It doesn’t ever work, does it? I don’t think I can think of a friend who’s done it and it actually worked out. Well, there’s one going on right now, but none of us are holding our breath. It’s also due to the fact that my friends and I are terrible people. Best of luck! – JM

. . .

So Happy Right NowGlad to see some of the other pages creeping back into the

issue. How was I going to know which movies to watch during bad release month? Go on the internet and find out for myself? I think not. Also, it’s good that someone there is playing video games again. I thought you guys got too cool for us or something.

– A.H.

Didn’t I tell you all I was back to cracking the whip? These writers, I tell you! Give an inch and they take a mile and 8,000 words. And we would never be too cool for you. It’s franchise and dynasty time now, man. I will be sitting in front of a large television and I will be drunk.

From the Couch

I ’m not sure if I’ve ever written about my love of Taco Bell before. But, if you know me at all, you know I’d choose a Cheesy Gordita Crunch over

a filet any day. Well, I used to. It’s been months since I’ve

run for the border, and I really haven’t had withdrawls at all. No crunchy beef tacos, no Nachos Supreme and, more surpris-ingly, not a single chicken quesadilla from TB has passed these lips. So, what do I crave now? Oh, I went

through a phase when I couldn’t go a day without scarfing a package of Giant Chewy SweeTarts. But, now, I don’t have any specific crav-

ings. Just junk food in general. I’m always up for having candy for breakfast.

Maybe the feelings aren’t mutual?

I finally broke down and got myself an iPad. After much contemplation I figured it was time to dive right in.After getting it I’m pleasantly surprised. It’s like

having an iPhone on steroids, but not too big to take with me almost anywhere. The weird (but also pretty cool) thing is I will be

FaceTiming with my grandparents in Dallas when they get their iPad. They’ve been threatening to for a while, but now that I have one I’m sure they’ll hop on it.

My only complaint about this new toy is I wish there were more iPad apps out

there. Once you have an app that’s de-signed for an iPad you want all the rest of your apps to look perfect on your

iPad, too.I also think 3G is the only way

to go. I don’t see the point in hav-ing an iPad if you can’t use it any-

where you want. It just defeats the purpose.With all that said, I can’t wait for Apple

to come out with their next “latest and greatest” gadget and leave me in the dust once again. Until then, I’m going to love this one.

>> Methinks someone is about to get popped.

The days of dinner and a movie may not be over, but now audiences need to decide not only what movie to watch, but also what format to watch it in.

Technology is ever-changing, especially in the film industry. Theater-going audiences are presented with 3-D movies, HD movies and a whole slew of movie theaters to choose from. Audiences are also presented with the option of not being a theater-going audience at all.

Several years ago, cable companies began offering inde-pendent films through the service On Demand the same day they were released in theaters. What began relatively slowly is now spreading to bigger-name movies. Steven Soderbergh’s Bubble paved the way for this trend in 2005 with its same-day-as-theaters release to cable companies. The recent Melancholia, starring Alexander Skarsgård of True Blood, was also immediately available On Demand.

Cable television is not alone in shortening release peri-ods. Freakonomics was available on iTunes nearly a month before it showed in theaters, and the British film Centurion was released early on Xbox Live and Amazon.

Shuffling a film’s release window also means a change in DVD release times. Patience is no longer required to wait for that movie you missed to come out on DVD. Now, the wait can be as short as a few days. Many blockbuster movies are available On Demand the same day as their DVD release. For an additional price, of course.

The wide variety of formats and the equally wide variety of pricing may leave the hopeful viewer scratching his head in confusion. You can watch a movie in theaters or On Demand. You can buy or rent the DVD. You can download it to your cell phone or sign up for Netflix and watch it on your laptop. You can watch movies on Hulu, YouTube and

hundreds of other websites. What’s a cinephile to do?Though there are now home theater systems and speaker

setups that rival those of your local movie house, there’s still something to be said for the experience of seeing a movie on the big screen. Though the popcorn may be overpriced and the seats may be less comfy than your plush armchair, the theater provides an atmosphere of an involved audience there to enjoy the movie. Even the best home theater systems can’t provide you with that.

For those who prefer lower prices, the comfort of their own homes and not silencing their cell phones, a rental may be the best choice. Netflix is a good option for avid film watchers seeking a wide variety. A subscription provides access to a diverse selection of movies in DVD or online format for a relatively low price.

For those who watch movies less often, rentals through a service like On Demand or Redbox may be more cost-effective. Redbox is by far the cheapest service, but has the latest release date. On Demand has an early release date, but if you’re going to watch the movie more than one or two times, it’s ultimately cheaper to just buy the DVD.

Of course, just as distribution technologies change, so do viewing technologies. Blu-ray discs are edging out DVDs as the most popular viewing format, and are certain to be replaced with an even newer technology in the future. Buyers, beware of spending too much on special editions that you may not be able to watch in ten years.

As theaters compete for audiences, the distribution side of the film industry is restructuring. Though this means some in-industry conflict and out-of-industry confusion to be dealt with, it does leave viewers with enough options to find their own personal way of watching a movie.

As You Like ItIt’s no secret that technology is constantly changing, so what does this mean when it comes to watching movies?

>> No, you’re not looking at the Source from The Matrix, this is just our break room. What? We need to catch up on our stories.

Neon IndianEra Extrana

>> One of the frontrunners of the budding chillwave move-ment, Neon Indian (Alan Palo-mo) recently released a second full-length album, Era Extrana.

Gaining overnight success with the debut, Psychic Chasms, Neon Indian doesn’t fix what isn’t broken. Palomo simply ex-pands his sound to encompass more influences and more styles from the ‘80s, and makes every-thing sound bigger.

There are traces of countless ‘80s bands here, from Depeche Mode to Jesus and Mary Chain.

Era Extrana proves that chill-wave might not be just a flavor of the month, but possibly a new subgenre for electronic music. —released September 13, 2011

The War on DrugsSlave Ambient

>> Philadelphian band The War on Drugs just released their second album. This al-

bum is set apart as the first output without founding member Kurt Vile, who has gone on to record solo.

The War on Drugs pro-gresses their unique blend of Dylan-esque Americana and richly layered shoegaze. Lyri-cally, The War on Drugs doesn’t change too much, most of the songs are still about leaving town and going somewhere else ... drifting.

All in all, a pretty interest-ing album by a promising new group for fans of chilled out road trip music.

—released August 16, 2011

Cymbals Eat Guitars

Lenses Alien>> From Staten Island, Cym-bals Eat Guitars is a refreshing band. Lenses Alien, the group’s second album, shows that they aren’t afraid to primarily use the electric guitar in a time of music full of synths and computer-generated sounds. This makes Lenses Alien sound a bit more organic than most of what’s coming out today.

The album’s opening song is eight minutes long, a bold move, but it’s easily one of the more interesting tracks.

Also, the vocal style of singer Joseph D’Agostino is very origi-nal and can be lightly compared to old Modest Mouse.

—released August 30, 2011

After several years of being the “best rapper alive,” Lil Wayne drops to merely one of the best rappers alive.

Era Ambient SlavesNeon Indian continues to ride the chill wave, The War on Drugs love to sing about drifting and Cym-bals Eat Guitars rock the electric guitar.

Nothing Lasts Forever

R ap is easily the fastest-moving genre today. Rappers are constantly throwing mixtapes together every few months between albums to maintain relevance.

Lil Wayne has been unstoppable since 2005 when he released Tha Carter II. He instantly became a household name with the single “Fireman.” After Tha Carter II, Wayne put out a number of great mixtapes before he released Tha Carter III, easily one of the best rap records, in the summer of 2008.

Because of Tha Carter III, it was easy to ignore Wayne’s attempt at rock on Rebirth. 2010’s I Am Not a Human Being was less an album of new material than recycled verses and beats released when he was about to get out of jail.

After many delays, the heavily anticipated Tha Carter IV was released the night of the VMAs. Listeners were eager to see if Lil Wayne would reclaim his title.

On this newest album, the words “best rapper alive” don’t come up once. Could it be that Wayne fig-ures everyone knows he’s the best? Or does he ac-

knowledge that his popularity is in decline? The latter seems more likely in that Wayne has gone on record saying Tha Carter IV may be his last album before he retires, something he previously said he wouldn’t do until he died.

Easily the strangest song on Tha Carter IV is “How to Love.” This track is Auto-Tuned and devoid of anything original or interesting. When you think of Lil Wayne, you think of fast, witty, rapped verses, not a love ballad with an acoustic guitar. Even so, “How to Love” probably isn’t the worst song. Tracks like “Nightmares of the Bottom,” “John” and “So Special” are forgettable, and would seem much more at home on one of Wayne’s many mixtapes. One of the best moments on the record comes from Tech N9ne, a fellow rapper from the Mid-west. On his brief verse, Tech N9ne delivers an intensity nowhere to be heard by Wayne on all of Tha Carter IV.

In my opinion, Tha Carter IV officially marks the de-cline of Lil Wayne. It’s true he could come

back with a great record, but nothing will ever compare to his music

from 2005 to 2008, when he was pretty much invincible.

Tha Carter IV isn’t a bad album; it definitely has its moments, like “She Will,” “Blunt Blowin’” and “President Carter,”

and Wayne sounds most like his prime on “6 Foot 7

Foot.” The music here is still leagues above others in his genre,

but it’s hard for him to top Tha Carter III. All of the inspiration

and creativity seem to have drained from Wayne, possibly from his brief time in

jail, or maybe he’s just run out of energy.

Romance

>> You know Kasey and Vienna from The Bachelor Pad, right? This self-proclaimed power couple kinda sucked.

by ElizabethAtherton

N ot saying that you’re in one, but even if you aren’t in a relationship, you’ll know one when you see one. In strong doses almost all of the couples described below can be potent. I can’t imagine these “lovebirds” know

who they are, but you know them. Some way or another they have fallen into a romance cliché and I’m here to laugh about it.

The Power Couple - Mainly spotted in high circles of “power cit-ies,” this couple is on a mission. I knew a girl in one. She once said, “We go to parties and he introduces me to everyone he knows, and I introduce him to everyone I know. We can really work the floor.” This couple is on a power campaign and the result will be a sexless marriage, or ... his naked photos sent to men via Twitter finally being found.

Jenn & Jordan - Jenn is country-came-to-town on steroids. She’s so bedazzled she looks like a walking disco ball. Between the tan and the bleached hair pushed up Snooki-style, she’s not playing around. She misses her pageant days. On her arm is boyfriend Jordan. He’s an urban cowboy, mixing tight graphic tees with cowboy boots. He was the hometown hero livin’ in the glory days. I believe most of these people went to OSU.

The Constantly Fighting Couple - When you go back to the car and think, I wonder how long they’re going to make it? Not fun to be around, awkward for everybody. Do they even like each other?

The Flirty Couple - Like a bad SNL skit, you think they’re kidding when one of them hits on you or your beau. Whispering compli-ments to you through the side of their mouth is ... sketchy.

The Passive Aggressive/Mean Couple - They talk sh*t about each other from two different sides of the room, and do things like take cheap shots at each other in a room full of people. Example: “Oh you’re tired? I’m not, cause sooomebody couldn’t get it up last night.” Then they usually giggle afterwards, still awkward.

The Gross Couple- They sit on the same side of the booth, and hang out at movie theaters and Six Flags with her hand in his

pocket. The Middle Seat Sitters - Closely related to the Gross Couple, pos-

sibly cousins. Wherever they go ... she’s got middle. Although the seat fits three, she’s ignored the space in the middle to snuggle up to her beau. They might as well share the steering wheel. If texting is going to be illegal, The Middle Seat Sitters should be, too. They’re just as distracting, because the whole time you’re wondering, where are her hands?

The Mom Girlfriend and The Dad Boyfriend - Although the two aren’t together much, The Mom Girlfriend belongs in the ‘50s. She bakes, she cleans, she gardens in high heels and has a cold brew waiting by his recliner by 5 p.m. You only see her at the grocery store. The Dad Boyfriend cares a little too much. He too gets walked on. He gives her a curfew, tells her life lessons and tries to win her affection. He’s a nice guy who needs to enroll in How to Find Your Balls 101. Possibly found in Arts & Sciences ...

The Possessive Couple - She says, “Why were you talking to that girl? Is she cuter than me? I’m going to tell her you’re MINE.” He says, “That was the bartender, I asked her to bring us 2 beers.”

The “I’m Taken” Couple - Her introduction is, “Hi my name is Becky, but my boyfriend calls me Beck, what’s your name?” His isn’t much different.

The Old Couple - Dinner by five, hopefully it’s a buffet. The Stingy Couple - “Oh sorry, you can’t have that beer unless you

pay us. That’s ours.”The A.D.D. Couple - So busy not paying attention to things/being

on the go, you wonder if they even talk. ”Hi, bye.”The “Are You Still Together?” Couple - He’s off at USC for law and

she’s at Notre Dame for archaeology. They’ve been together for three years, and last year they saw each other twice: Christmas and Easter.

The Cool Couple - Few and far between ... this couple is a keeper. Happy people doing healthy things together and separate.

Couple CocktailWith lots of ways to mix up the guys and girls, we’ve come up with several kinds of couples. Do you fit any of these molds?

Ask ElizabethIf you’d like to use Boyd Street’s

resident romance columnist as a sounding board for your

relationship conundrums, e-mail Elizabeth Atherton at [email protected]

Icebreaker Party!Dear Elizabeth,

With OU/Texas just weeks away, I’m starting to get nervous for my boyfriend to finally meet all my best friends.

We’ve been dating for about seven months, and even though we’re doing the long-dis-tance thing, it’s very important that he clicks with my friends.

Any suggestions to make the meet and greet a little less awkward?

- W.K.

Dear W.K.,When a boyfriend meets your friends for the

first time it’s a very big deal. The one thing you have remember is that, no matter what, your friends want you to be happy. If this guy makes you happy, then they’re happy. Even if it takes them a little while to have their own inside jokes. Be patient, it’ll happen.

Parents Just Don’t UnderstandDear Elizabeth, My parents are getting a divorce. They’ve been married for more than 20 years and I was shocked to learn the bad news.

I’m afraid of what their divorce is going to do my ability to trust a guy in the future. Any advice?

- RyannDear Ryann,

The first thing you have to remember is that you are not your parents. No matter what they do, you don’t have to follow in their footsteps.

Also, just because they’re getting a divorce doesn’t mean they love you any less.

My best advice is to have an honest conversa-tion with them and find out what went wrong. Once you know the root of their problems, it might help you in relationships along the way.

GameStop, one of the largest video game retailers in the country, took a lot of heat over the release of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, for removing coupons for free

digital copies of the game through OnLive from the box. GameStop, who had recently bought Impulse, another online game distributor, said through a spokesperson that, “[W]e pulled the coupons because, like all retailers, we prefer not to promote our competitors and their competing offerings and services in our stores ... Unfortu-nately, the coupon was packed without our prior knowledge.”

GameStop temporarily removed all PC copies of the game from their stores until Square Enix sent them copies without the OnLive coupon, offering refunds to customers who purchased the game at their store and found that the coupon was not in

the package, and even $50 gift cards to those who preordered the game, but it still shows that Game-Stop is still trying to adapt to the new wave of digital distribution in gaming. Steam, released by Valve, the makers of the Half-Life, Portal and Team Fortress series of games, is far and away the leader of the digital distribution market, but EA and Mi-crosoft have created their own platforms, Origin and Games for Windows Marketplace respectively.

GameStop, like most brick-and-mortar retailers, has carried fewer and fewer PC games in recent years, but the PC gamer has found a greater mar-ket through Steam and digital distribution. Most electronics stores and big box retailers may have one shelf of computer games at most, largely because console games are generally the biggest sellers, and partly because of the increasing ca-pability for consumers to just pay for and directly

download whatever PC games they want. In a way, GameStop’s purchase of Impulse is

understandable, and a good step on the way to catching up with consumer trends, but remov-ing the coupons for an OnLive version of Deus Ex seems unnecessary, considering that they already sold a hard copy of the game to their consumers, so they’ve made the money they’re going to make, while OnLive doesn’t get any extra profit from giv-ing out an extra version of the game. GameStop doesn’t need to risk alienating potential custom-ers even further. While a future of mostly-online distribution seems to be the way PC gaming is leaning, there will always be consumers who’d prefer to buy hard copies of discs, and GameStop should be able to cater to them. By the same ac-cord, just because companies compete with one another doesn’t mean they have to be completely at odds. EA allows plenty of their games to be sold on both Steam and Impulse, and GameStop has allowed plenty of in-package bonuses with games purchased at their stores, so this does seem to be rather petty by comparison.

GameStop is one of the few options available for buying games for those who don’t have con-sistent, high-speed internet access, and the fact that they would consider OnLive’s free coupon an affront and direct competition is a bit absurd, to say the least. In truth, perhaps Square Enix and OnLive should have made this known to Game-Stop sooner than later to avoid the inconvenience to the customer, but this is just another bad bit of publicity that GameStop really didn’t need, and honestly probably brings more “publicity” to their competitor than just leaving the coupon in the game’s packaging.

>> The digital sport of kings!

Games by AJLansdale

>> Football fever is in full swing and anyone who was going to buy Madden probably won’t be swayed by a review.

There are some graphical upgrades to the stadiums and environments, but this is mostly the same game as before. The commentary is repetitive and Gus Johnson’s voice gets irritating after a while. The gameplay itself is serviceable, but not stellar, and there’s little in the way of customization.

In short, it’s almost the same game as Madden 11, but if you want an NFL video game this year, this is your only option.

RPGDeus Ex: Human Revolution>> This is easily one of the best games to debut this year. Deus Ex is a series of stealth-oriented, futuristic action RPGs that can be played in more of a run-and-gun style, also. This game allows for flexibil-ity: there are multiple ways to play through a situation. Plan-ning without care can shift a player in a particular direction and certain boss fights require killing the opponent. Despite the occasional hiccups in graphics and voice acting, Human Revolution is an ex-cellent game with over forty hours of content. If you’re into RPGs, or any ac-tion game, this is definitely worth picking up.

Digital RevolutionThe digital release of Deus Ex: Human Revolution shows just how difficult it is adapting to the ever-changing gaming technology.

Classic Craftsman: Leanne Hicks, Joan Allen, Liz Arnaud and Mel McCulloch found a gem in their second choice.

Outdoor Living: The spacious patio is the perfect place to host their pre- and post-party entertaining.

Four sorority sisters found the perfect place to call home.

P ledge sisters Mel McCulloch, Liz Ar-naud, Leanne Hicks and Joan Allen felt it was a natural transition to cre-ate their own small Alpha Omicron Pi

house, says Hicks. The girls were drawn to their house for many reasons, like location. Less than a block from campus, this roomy home gives everyone space of their own.“I spent the last two years on a top bunk, so

having a room of my own is very important,” confesses Hicks. Allen loves the older home’s unique style

which goes extremely well with her antiqued furniture and bold color scheme. Using pieces from home mixed with a few

new, they’ve created a shabby chic place to re-lax, since relaxing is at the top of all of their to-do lists. “We just had a lot of cool stuff to put togeth-

er,” says Hicks. Lucky for the ladies, McCulloch’s parents de-

cided to purchase new furniture. Their favorite room to relax in, the living room, looks an aw-ful lot like her parents’ former living room, a fact her dad noticed when he first came to visit.

Arnaud, who had been living alone, knew the home’s previous tenants. So when the other girls’ place on Jenkins didn’t work out, they all knew they had to jump on this opportunity. “We are very happy with the way it all worked

out,” agrees Allen. Each having very different class schedules, they

make a point to all come together for dinner. “We take turns cooking,” explains Hicks. “We

each pick one night Monday through Thursday to cook, but Fridays are free for all.” Dinners are usually followed by studying or

watching TV. But, with fall on its way, the girls plan to use their second patio more; another perk of the spacious house.

Eclectic Americana

New Territory: Allen claims she isn’t the best cook, but she says she’s learning.

Relaxing:The girls carved out plenty of seating in their favorite place to relax.

Room With A View: The picturesque double windows let in all the beauty of their quaint college town street.

New to Old: Allen loves transforming new furniture into shabby chic pieces filled with character.

Pure in Form:Hicks planned her whole room around one prized piece, her record player.

College Dream: The luxurious bath provides even more space to relax.

Culture:McCulloch’s handmade quilt from Guatemala adds bold color and quite a story to her décor.

Common Thread: Nearly every room in the house has photos of family and friends.

Food&Drink By AlexBacon

Mercifully, the summer sizzler appears to be going through its final death throes. Much to the surprise of my compatriots and I, getting spectacularly s***faced

ever night did very little to beat the oppressive, re-cord-breaking heat. Truly, nothing says “I’ve made a huge mistake” like painting the grass with Carlo Rossi and wondering if the sweat on your brow is from the hellish temperatures or your body repeatedly kicking you in the nuts because you deemed it necessary to participate in a wine jug (it really was a great idea at the time).

I’ll complain about the heat with everyone else, but in truth, this past summer has been a drunken delight. Was the line crossed from delight to s*** show on one or seventeen oc-casions? Absolutely. And that’s how I broke my ankle. In retrospect, I kind of had that one coming.

Every respectable drinking career is tested from time to time, and alas, some tests affect your boozy resolve more than others. Just because you’re living your life, shall we say, irresponsibly, doesn’t mean life isn’t without its lessons. For example, I learned that if you find your-self trashed and not on Family Double Dare, it’s usually best to pass on the physical challenge. But wait, there’s more!

Given my current gimpy-ness, public drinking is a bit more of a chore

than it was a couple months ago. So, I ask you, college boy/girl; what’s a passionate drinker with a kick-ass front porch to do? I trust the paragraph break will be enough time to figure that one out.

Thankfully, our crack team of drinking enthusiasts have come up with a fall/winter answer to the booziest of sum-mertime jams, Frescanzia. What is it? Coffee with booze in it, duh.

Of course, Irish coffee has long been a cold weather sta-ple. however, those that follow booze news might have noticed coffee-based cocktails popping up at cocktail bars across the country.

Unlike a fair amount of actual cocktails, these drinks can be replicated at home pretty easily for a relatively cheap price. Obviously, you can get as fancy-pants as you want,

but in general outisde of a couple of ground rules, you have plenty of room to explore the drunky studio space. Ratio control and freshness of the coffee are the keys to

a rich, dark roasted fantasy-land (anything over one-to-one and you might as well just drink the liquor straight, you

lush). Vodka, rum and whiskey (obvs) work well for the hard stuff. Just steer clear of gin, tequila and the sweeter cordials and

flavored vodkas, etc. (Fruit flavors tend to clash with the coffee.)Alright kids, I’m out of room. Brew up a pot, grab a blanket and let’s get to

some drinking.

Will It Get Me Drunk? The weather is trying to cool off, so it’s time to put away some of those fun summer cocktails. It’s a good thing we have a pot of coffee brewing because it’s time to get office drunk.

>> Spanish CoffeeYes indeed, just about every country has its own version of a spiked coffee. Or at least that’s what it seems like. The brandy involved makes this an especially tasty treat on a colder day. If you wanna get crazy you can add a splash of 151, but come on, hold it together, man.

>> Monk’s CoffeeThis one you can mess with the proportions to your liking. Be careful with the orange liqueur though, as the fruit can clash with the coffee if you go overboard. The cognac base of Grand Marnier makes it a fine choice, but if you don’t care to drop the dough a dash of triple sec will work. Since there are a few more flavors competing in this job, a stronger cup of joe would be a welcome base.

>> Cafe BrasileiroThis is another one that you can experiment with. It might take a couple tries to get it right anyway since this one is more about balance. Once again, a bolder coffee goes a long way here and you can get as expensive with the ingredients as you like.

• 1 oz. brandy• 3/4 oz. Kahlua or other coffee liqueur• coffeePour the brandy and Kahlua in a snifter (or a cup if you’re not super fancy) and add coffee. Give it a stir and you’re ready to party. Add whipped cream if that’s your jam.

• 1/4 oz. Amaretto• 1/4 oz. creme de cacao (dark)• 1/4 oz. Frangelico• 1/4 oz. orange liqueur• coffeeSame as the last one. Throw it in the glass, add the coffee, stir, get drunk.

• 1 1/2 oz. cachaca• 1/2 oz. chocolate liqueur• 1/2 oz. simple syrup• 2 oz. heavy cream• 2 1/2 oz. coffee• seeds from a vanilla bean

Scrape the seeds in a shaker, add cream and shake it up. Combine the rest of the ingedients in a glass/mug/whatever and slowly pour the contents of the shaker over the top. Boosh.

Speaking of Sports By AlEschbach

It has gone from one of the most open football programs in the country to perhaps the most guarded.

Doesn’t it seem like just yesterday when the University of Texas welcomed everyone to their program? There were absolutely no secrets. Everything was open. Mack Brown was

one guy that every media person loved because of the way he ran things.Isn’t it funny how a losing season can change things so rapidly? Gone are a lot of coaches

from a year ago. Gone are open practices. Can anyone figure out what’s happening in Austin these days? Good luck if you can.

Brown has made a 180-degree change. He doesn’t deal with the local media there. And the only time players are available, it’s all about coach speak. They must have rehearsed their lines 100 times because they speak with politically correct tongues. They aren’t about to tell you anything that has been going on.

The Longhorns might be the most interesting team in the country to watch this season.Just two years ago they were playing Alabama for a national championship. Heck they might

have won the game if Colt McCoy didn’t get hurt. Brown was the toast of the college football world. The Longhorns had it going big time.

That’s until a few months later. All of a sudden they go from a team that was playing for titles to one that couldn’t even get into a bowl game.

Ouch, that hurt. So Brown decided it was time to change. He made assistant coaches the scapegoats. Strange for a guy who is so likeable and is really a very good football coach.

Texas went from McCoy, who was one of the best quarterbacks in the land, to one of the worst in Garrett Gilbert. It was Gilbert who had a tendency to throw passes to the other guys instead of his teammates. The offense couldn’t pass and it couldn’t run. Now you might get the idea of how Iowa State went into Austin and won. How embarrassing is that?

And for some strange reason Brown stubbornly wouldn’t make the change

at quarterback. He wouldn’t even give the other guys a chance. Those who followed the team were stunned.

What will happen to the Longhorns? It’s all about the quarterback. Don’t let anyone fool you. There is talent on that campus, and I mean a lot of talent. Year in and year out they have one of the top recruiting classes in the country. They are getting players that everyone wants. But you better be good at the critical signal calling position.

When they had Vince Young they won a national title. And in McCoy’s final season they played for one. What about this year?

Well Gilbert, back for his junior year, got the initial nod. That was bad news and he got benched. And then there’s the brother of Colt, Case McCoy. It seemed weird a year ago when Brown burned his redshirt year and then would give him a chance when Gilbert was struggling. You hear a lot of good things about David Ash. He’s a true freshman from Belton, TX, who threw for nearly 8,000 yards in the prep ranks. And the fourth guy is Connor Wood. He’s a redshirt fresh-man. Oklahoma thought so much about him when he was in high school that they offered him a scholarship before they offered one to Blake Bell. It appears McCoy and Ash will split snaps.

We’re going to find out about the Longhorns really, really quickly. They got an easy win against Rice in the opener. Then things got interesting. They played BYU

at home and won by a point.Next up is Iowa State in Ames. Could the Cyclones make it two in a row? Then it’s back to back

encounters against Oklahoma and Oklahoma State. There are rumblings that Brown could step down if his team struggles once again. That’s hard

to believe. I really think this guy wants to continue coaching. But the Texas faithful will make it awfully hard on him if there aren’t a lot of wins.

What’s going to happen to the Longhorns this year? Your guess is as good as mine. It’s simply all about the quarterback.

Texas QB Could Sack BrownThe outcome of Texas’ season is anyone’s guess after awful quarterback play last year.
