SMU Basketball Season has officially started. As Mob fans are warming up their best yelling voices, the SMU basketball team is amping themselves up for another much awaited season.

After the NCAA ban last year, SMU was restricted from participating in March Madness. This was extremely disappointing to SMU's dedicated basketball fans and the SMU community. After a successful 2015-2016 season, despite the ban, the Mustangs are geared up for the 2016-2017 season.

According to an article written by SMU's own Reece Graham, the Mustangs will start out the season strongly with a win against Gardner-Webb. This winning streak is predicted to continue with games against Eastern Michigan, Pittsburgh, Michigan, and UC Santa Barbara.

However, the season will start to get tough with games against Southern California and SMU's notorious rival TCU. These close match-ups will be ones to watch during the season.

New freshman players Harry Froling, Leo Kontopoulos, Dashawn McDowell and Tom Wilson are ones to look out for on the court. SMU Basketball fans will be tracking their progress throughout the season to see how they perform and grow as new additions to the team.

There will also be the return of fan favorites such as Ben Moore, Shake Milton, Sterling Brown, and Jarrey Foster. Their appearance on and off the court always leaves SMU students star-struck.

New coach Tim Jankovich has big shoes to fill after Larry Brown's departure last season. But there is no doubting his ability to lead the Mustangs to victory. Jankovich spent the last four seasons under Larry Brown and is a veteran of 33 seasons as a coach.

With the excitement of the beginning of the season, SMU Men's Basketball has also announced via Twitter, their new recruits for next year. William Douglas, Ethan Chargois, Elijah Landrum, and Everett Ray all signed for the 2017-2018 season on Wednesday, November 9.

The 2016-2017 season is starting and the Mustangs have the right mindset and fan support to make this an even more successful season. This is definitely one to watch, SMU fans. Here's to a great season and most importantly, Pony Up!

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.
