Craig Kilborn once said, “It’s Thursday and I just wanna dance, dance, dance.” Never have truer words been spoken.
Everyone’s favorite recreational gaming arcade resembled a dance competition last Thursday, which was quite possibly a first in E-sports’ history.
Prepare for destruction. Hatebreed is coming to Ushuaia on Wednesday, Nov. 23, and lead singer Jamey Jasta made it clear that this show is going to kick everyone’s butt with the metalcore intensity Hatebreed fans have come to expect.

Obviously, as college students, we all want to buy in bulk. It’s cheaper, plus if you have three tubes of toothpaste and a monster box of Q-tips, you won’t have to worry about not being able to brush your teeth or clean your ears when something runs out. But where the heck do you keep all that stuff?
You can opt for supersized, stackable storage bins from Wal-Mart or Kmart, and just stack them along the wall or in the bottom of your closet.
I do not consider myself a geek, but I must admit that I have caught the midnight premier of each of the four Harry Potter films.

After Saturday’s 4-1 win, the University of Maine women’s hockey team lost a 2-0 lead as they skated to a 2-2 tie against Rensselaer on Sunday at Alfond Arena. Despite the tie, UMaine kept their eight-game home unbeaten streak while RPI garnered a loss after coming into the series undefeated.
The University of Maine girls swim team added yet another victory to their 3-0 home record as they won their meet Friday night against Husson College.

It’s Thanksgiving, and you know the most important part of the day is stopping to reflect on events of the last month and show some gratitude. In this case, it’s time to thank the Sports Gods for all they’ve given us to cheer about during the fall season.
None of it mattered.

It wasn’t supposed to be front page material.
But then again, this wasn’t your typical exhibition scenario.
The University of Maine men’s basketball team got off to a cold start in their opening games this weekend, dropping decisions to the William and Mary and High Point at the William and Mary Tip-Off Classic in Williamsburg, Virginia.
It was a tough opening schedule to begin with, but several injuries and tremendous youth didn’t help matters.
Senior forward Katie Whittier and junior guard Ashley Underwood had career nights and head coach Ann McInerney recorded her first win at UMaine, as the Black Bears women’s basketball team rolled to a 70-35 victory over Rider University on Friday night.
All 11 UMaine players recorded points on the night.
