Cafeteria Hours

 Have you ever been craving food but you have nothing else but your wallet except your student ID? Well this happened to me the other day after a night of studying. I was sick of the little selection at Mac's Place, so I decided that I would make the walk to Umphrey Lee. I left the dorm at about 8:30, and once I got there, I found out that it was closed. Once again, I had to settle for either a burger or a chicken sandwich from Mac's. This put me in a bad mood for the rest of the night. I do not know why the school thinks that students never want a real meal after 8:30. I realize that Mac's Place is very convenient, but the food gets old.

Similarly, I walked down to Mac's Place after my 8 am class, and it was closed. I did not want to get up early to get food before my class, so I figured I would just get it after. I did not have time to walk to Umphrey's, and now I had no food at all. I was just looking for a little "hold-me-over" before my next class, but instead I had to go hungry. With more hours of business in both places, students would have more options, and would be able to maintain a healthier diet.

Al Davis is crazy!!

  Al Davis, the owner of the Oakland Raiders, a team in the National Football League, is absolutely insane. In 2007, Davis hired rookie NFL coach Lane Kiffin to coach his team. When Kiffin was hired, he became the fourth Raiders coach since Jon Gruden left the team in 2001. What Davis fails to understand is that his team is rebuilding. Any team that is in the middle of a rebuilding process, cannot bounce around from coach to coach and expect to be successful every year. Even though Kiffin won four games last year, and had a 1-3 record this year, there had been rumors that he would be fired during his whole tenure. After Kiffin was fired, Davis announced that his replacement would be offensive line coach, Tom Cable. Right before the press conference to introduce Cable, Davis was being "miked up." Without knowing he was being recorded, Davis asked someone who was going to introduce Cable. The man told Davis that he should introduce Cable. Davis said that he did not really know who he was. Are you serious? You fire a coach in the middle of a rebuilding process, and then you don't even know who you hire to replace him. Davis is ridiculous when it comes to his team.

What many fail to remember is that in 2001, after the Raiders lost to the Patriots in the AFC Championship game, Davis traded Gruden to the Buccaneers. Yes, an owner traded a coach to another team. This is not players that we are talking about, a coach was traded. Davis is crazy and should not be allowed to run this franchise. It is a storied and historic franchise that he has built in Oakland; however, it seems as though Davis is trying to ruin the power that he himself built.
