Sorry Charlie: Texas Should Relieve Charlie Strong Of His Duties At Texas

It's been nearly three years now, and we've seen nothing from you, Texas Longhorns' head football coach, Charlie Strong. You only have a 13-17 record here, and only a 9-11 conference record. I wish I could keep believing in you, but I just can't.

When it was announced that you were coming here, I was stoked. I thought, "Man, this guy is great! Just look at last season. A 12-1 record at Louisville."

After that first year, you got us to a 6-7 record and took us to the Texas City Bowl. Yes, we lost, but I didn't mind it. It was your first year there, and I thought, "You know, give him time. Once he gets the team he wants, things will pick up."

Then we had the 5-7 season the next year. I was upset at this, but it was still okay. I knew you didn't have the players you needed, nor did you have the identity yet. I would give you one more chance.

You started this season 2-0, with wins against Notre Dame and UTEP. I saw the poor defense in game one, but it looked like y'all fixed it in game two. I know it was only UTEP, but it was also only seven points allowed.

After that, though, it was all downhill. You've been outmatched and the bad has come out once again. I'm not saying you're a bad coach, but this just isn't your system.

I hope you can find another team that fits your style better after this season, but I don't think the fans or the school wants you here anymore. Best of luck in your career post-Texas.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
