On the upside I can read the sports page in under a minute:49ers:
heres a fun drinking game. get a bunch of friends together, each with a copy of the observer and for every mistake, be it spelling or anything else. you take a shot. that game will get you trashed.

Get your AP style books ready.
This came up a few months ago- the douches at the Regionql Observer gave away free acc hats in the papaer for a subscription
There is only one solution–see my signature
There is only one solution--see my signatureThey won't be half the paper they are now in 2010. You may get your wish soon after that.
Print media is on life support.
Not sticking up for them, but since we cannot even buy a decent hat, how is the paper going to get hats to give away for free?

Woudn’t it suck to be trapped behind a table trying to sell something that nobody wants?
you can also blame our lame as chancellors over the past decade.

nice one:lmao:
The deal hky49er referred to is known as the “Campers Special”. The paper is for wiping, the hat for covering it up.
Speaking of the women’s team… I’m in Old Navy with my wife and the St Louis womens team is here. I can’t post in the shoutbox from my phone so I had to hijack a thread. So, is St Louis womens team a threat??
Insult them, tell them their fat, hurt their self esteem. Works for about anything.
As for the hats, they did try that on campus, but the O was cool enough to fix it right away.
Oh, and there are some Rhode Islanders too…

I would never call the Observer cool, in any shape or form
I remember that day, I lit up the chancellors office and the Observer marketing telephone lines.
