	Great Ideas for Halloween Costumes! By Rachel Lolli October 14, 2012 - 5:19pm If you haven’t thought about your Halloween costume yet, it’s time to start. Halloween is right around the corner and before you know it, you’ll be the only one wearing last year’s pregnant Beyoncé costume. Not to mention, college isn’t just one night in college, it can be multiple nights which means something more frightening than Paranormal Activity 3- multiple costumes. Yikes! But before you get too scared of this idea, think of it in a positive way. Now you don’t have to narrow your Halloween persona to just one character. So you can be scary and cute, sexy and funny.

By Rachel Lolli September 16, 2012 - 5:45pm The beginning of a new school year brings a lot of change: new clothes, new classes, new place to live, and more than often it also brings a new love life.

	It's Football Time in The Bluegrass By Rachel Lolli September 9, 2012 - 11:54pm There’s nothing quite like Kentucky football season. The mall is sold out of blue dresses, fall weather is in the air and school spirit is at an all-time high. And somehow, UK football is the last thing on your mind. Last week The Kentucky Wildcats lost the battle to the Louisville Cardinals, 32-14. The Cats not only gave up the Governor’s Cup to in-state rival Louisville, but they also might have lost fans along the way. Fan turnout to games is on the decline, and with the loss to Louisville, any possible hope that Cat supporters may have come into the season with has certainly been shaken. READ MORE

	The Cats Are Going For Number Nine! By Tyler Spanyer April 15, 2012 - 8:55pm Fresh off our eighth national title Kentucky fans didn’t take long to wonder, “Repeat?” In a time when programs have to replace players on a yearly basis because of the one-and-done rule this feat becomes seemingly impossible, but we here at Kentucky have one thing no other school in the country has, John Calipari. Calipari has always been known as one of the elite recruiters in the country bringing in the best talent out of every class, and them sending them off to the NBA.
