South Alabama Upsets Mississippi State 21-20.

South Alabama? Who? That's right, South Alabama upset Mississippi State in their first football game of the season on Sept 3. The final score was 21-20.

The team didn't start out great. The first quarter score was 7-0, MSU, and the second quarter score was 10-0, MSU. South Alabama had one fumble, two punts, and a missed field goal in the first half.

The second half went much better. They were able to score in the first drive of the second half with a touchdown pass from Dallas Davis to Josh Magee, making it 17-7, MSU. There wasn't another score until the fourth quarter. The next score in the game was a field goal made by MSU kicker, Westin Graves. This made it 20-7, MSU.

In the fourth quarter, South Alabama scored two touchdowns, one was a pass to Gerald Everett, and the other was a run by Tyreis Thomas. MSU had the ball at the end of the fourth quarter with a chance to kick a field goal and win the game, but Graves missed it, making the final score 21-20, South Alabama.

This was South Alabama's first ever SEC win, and with the confidence they probably have now, I bet they keep winning their big games. The next game they play will be against Georgia Southern at home, and their next "big game" is against San Diego State. I am confident in their talent, and I am interested in what they have to bring to the table.

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.
