2016 Dark Horse Heisman Candidates

Welcome back to another great year of College Football. As I write this, we are only 1 day into the season and have already had some exciting drama. The Tennessee Volunteers pulled off an overtime win against Appalachian State, a team the Vols should have wiped out. Thats the beauty of College Football, anything can happen. This also holds true when it comes to a player earning the Heisman trophy. Everybody knows the typical candidates but there are a lot of great competitors this year. Everybody has a chance to win and there are some dark horse candidates you should know about.

1.) Josh Rosen

Josh Rosen was fantastic last year. He plays with a pro style and has a great pocket presence. He looks like he already plays in the NFL and he is only a sophomore. I think if his supporting cast does him well, he has a good chance to compete for the Heisman.

2.) Greg Ward Jr.

Greg Ward Jr. is a throwing option and always a running option. He can burn you both ways and his team is heading in a great direction going into the 2016 season. He is the leader of Houston and they can make a push for the playoff as well with a successful season.

3.) Chad Kelly

Ole Miss has lost a lot of the pieces that made them a really good team last year. Treadwell was Kelly's number one target and Tunsil protected him to make those plays. Kelly does not have either of those available to him this year so it will be interesting to see what he is really made of.

4.) Luke Falk

Luke Falk is just a pure gun slinger for the Cougars. He has a strong accurate arm and he knows exactly where to put the ball. If he puts up great numbers consistently, I think he has a great shot to join the Heisman race if not compete for the trophy.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.
