Looking back on my sports blogging this semester, I can see how much I’ve grown as a writer, especially in a topic I’m passionate about. I’ve always loved sports, playing them growing up, and now I’m planning to pursue a career in sports broadcasting after college. Blogging about sports gave me a unique opportunity to…

You know, college sports don’t feel the same anymore, and I think a big part of that is because of NIL. It used to be all about the love for your school, the hard work you put in, and cheering for your team alongside your friends. Now, it kinda feels more like a business. Players…

I will be pivoting the focus of my research paper to the rapid integration of AI in the film industry and how it has ushered in technologies like de-aging, which allows actors to appear younger on screen, and how this technology is being misused. While this innovation offers filmmakers creative flexibility and potential cost reductions,…

March Madness is here, and as always, I’m all in. The Cinderella runs, the buzzer-beaters, the heartbreak of a busted bracket, it’s the greatest postseason in sports. But while my excitement for the tournament remains as high as ever, an interesting question has been raised: has March Madness lost some of its magic? A recent…

The Dallas Cowboys have made a splash signing in the 2025 NFL free agency by bringing in running back Javonte Williams on a one-year deal worth $3 million. This signing aims to strengthen the backfield with the powerful and agile skill set that the franchise has been looking for. It’s no secret that the Cowboys…

The most exhilarating time of the year is finally upon us, March Madness! There is nothing better than the rush of Cinderella stories, buzzer beaters, and utter despair from every shattered bracket. The Tennessee Volunteers are my choice this year. With an impressive season so far of 24–5 overall, and 11–5 in SEC play, their…
