We eat bison for lunch.

Well, Dukes, the countdown is on! Only a few more days until we are back in THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP!!! How exciting is that??? There are so many emotions to go through as we wait to watch our Dukes "defend the crown." Whether we have recognized it or not, we have probably gone through one of these emotions already since finding out that the Dukes were moving on to the finals.

1. Pride

Operation: Beat The Bunnies was a success, folks. We beat the South Dakota State University Jackrabbits in an astounding blowout of 51-16 (OUCH!). Our next operation is underway as the men of the JMU football team mentally and physically prepare for battle. North Dakota State University will be quite the opponent, but nothing that Houston and the guys can't handle. The Bisons won't know what hit 'em.

2. Astonishment

If you bought tickets for the game and for travel, go check your bank account... I'm sure you will be astonished then.

3. Anger

I swear to that dang bison, if I see one more tweet about Mike Houston or about JMU football coming from anyone related to or affiliated with NDSU, I am going to go C-R-A-Z-Y. And I am pretty sure lots of other Dukes are at that point too. Just do not forget, we are classier! We are classier. We are classier. We are classier. Don't stoop to their level of trash talking...unless you want to retweet my "I eat bison for lunch" tweet (oops), then by all means, go ahead...(ashduke_) :)

4. Bitterness

No, sir, I do NOT understand what you mean by "you cannot throw streamers in Toyota Stadium."

5. EXCITEMENT!!!

Are your tickets purchased??? Is your bag packed??? Are snacks bought for the watch party??? Are you wearing the jersey that you have worn (and probably have not washed) for the past 25 games??? Do you have streamers for the guests that will be over during the game??? Do you have the game set to record, so you can always come back and watch this beautiful epic that is about to unfold???

You might be feeling one of these emotions; you might be feeling all of them; you may even be experiencing a totally different emotion. Personally, I am really honing in on ~excitement~. I mean, truly, I think I am about as excited about this showdown as Ratke was when he watched that 46-yard field goal fly right between those two posts. Wherever you are on the emotional scale, one thing remains true, and that is... the Dukes are like no other.

GO DUKES!!!

With blessing,

Ash

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.
