Classes started yesterday at many campuses, and if you're like most students, you've probably already plastered your bedroom and common room walls with posters and select photos that were too risqué to put on Facebook. No one has to be original all the time, but chances are a fair few of your wall-adornments are on College Happenings' list of the 28 most cliché dorm room posters. For the record, we didn't have any of these. We did have a post-card version of the Guinness one, but since that came from the actual Guinness factory in Ireland, that hardly counts as cliché.

What Are You Pointing At?

In case you haven't heard, "the football monopoly in Los Angeles is officially over," and Rick Neuheisel likes to point at things. The above quote appeared in a full-page LA Times ad for UCLA football, which also included a picture of Neuheisel meaningfully staring, and pointing off into the distance. Lisa (a blatant UCLA-hater) at Straight Talk From the Left Coast has 10 guesses as to what Neuheisel might be pointing at. The possibilities include a kid who looks like he might be able to throw 20 yards, a landmine left by the Trojan mascot and that elusive spot at the end of the field (the end zone). Harsh.

For Love of the Game

Add The Legend of Cecilio Guante to the list of bloggers who've recently admitted they prefer college football to the NFL. Cecilio's Scribe couldn't quite explain his preference, so he decided to list the contributing factors. Helmet stickers, fight songs, stadiums with fun nicknames ... the reasons abound. Oh, and of course, cheerleaders.
