Lady Birds Soar High

Small School Victories Over Bigs

CEDAR CITY, Utah -- Last night the Southern Utah University womens basketball team defeated the BYU Cougars at home inside the America First event center.

This was a big victory for the Lady Thunderbird coming off a three-game losing streak in California. It was also a moral boost and momentum shift for the team. As this shows a small school like SUU is able to compete with tops school.

The significance of this also shows that the team has the tools to grab more victories and even make it to the big tournament. Winning this big in front of a home crowd gives the Ladys the confidence the need to begin a winning streak against upcoming big schools.

All this goes to prove that on any given day anyone could win and anyone could lose. It's in every team that's ever competed against big schools. The talent is there, there just needs to be heart. Give that extra ounce of breathe to get that loose ball or make the final run to get the block.

Small schools should't be intimidated by big schools because at the end of the day all schools train just as hard, sweat just as much and are humans just like they are. If you want to win, then got out there and grab it.

Learn to Taco About It

Learn To Create Simple Delicious Tacos One Taco Night - It began as a normal night in Mareno Valley California, with nine of us arguing about what we should have for dinner. You heard pizza in one corner and burgers in the other corner. As I started looking through the fridge I immediately saw the answer to the our problems. A pack of yellow organic tortillas, staring at me right in the face. I just smiled back, as ideas began turning in my head. What kind of meat would we cook?, does this fridge also have salsa, were there vegetables? if so what kind? It would seem as a trip to the grocery store was in place. Everyone still did't know what was going on but as I started to leave I simply turned back and said "tacos" No Experience Need- It doesn't take a fancy culinary degree to put together creative tacos ideas that manifest in your head.

Tacos Nations

Taco'ing to Strangers CEDAR CITY, Utah --This past Tuesday, I gathered a diverse group of student with different cultural background to experience one of Cedar City's best local Mexican restaurants called Lupitas. One of the best things about SUU is the cultural diversity that gives this place a worldly energy. A place that no matter your cultural background you can find your place among caring and supportive community members. If just for a moment you feel lost, there is someone their to walk this new path with you and guide you. Its part of the reason I chose Taco Tuesday as a way to guide anyone who walking alone in the unknown to a place of the known. At first Taco Tuesday was just another reason to eat tacos like Cinco De Mayo or Quinceneras. It was a reason to meet up with friends and spend pocket change on delicious tacos. Even though Taco Tuesday has a catchy ring to it and that would be the preferred day to grab some tacos but a lot of people have busy work da...

Wake Up Thinking Tacos

Not Just Another Tuesday My Tuesday - don't start off like any another Tuesday, they usually starts off hungrier than most days. By now the meaning of Tuesday has grown to mean more than just another day, in American culture this day now belongs to tacos. Tuesday and Tacos - go together more than peanut butter and jelly and by the same concept bring people together. Of, course going hiking or playing videos with your friends is cool but have you ever feasted on a large number of tacos with buddies for a low price of just 69 cents a taco. I get up Tuesdays thinking "where will we meet today for tacos." It brings a big smile to my face as time get closer to the moment my friends and I get together to share another great taco experience. Tuesday Twist- Since this is the country of land opportunity, then why not give other cultures from the around the chance to inspire Taco Tuesday with their different variations of tacos. At the University of Minnesota ...
