For more than 30 years, video games have advanced in both realism and popularity, and this popularity has led to a culture of millions of gamers worldwide. Some feel these gamers lose touch with the real world in their hobby — others disagree. “In my experience, it just seems that it is a waste of time,” said Kristy Phillips, a sophomore majoring in family, consumer and human development. Phillips said her ex-boy- friend was heavily involved in video games, and it was detri- mental to their relationship. “I would come over and instead of doing something with me or doing something together, he would spend the whole time convincing me that I needed to learn how to play ‘Call of Duty,’” she said. “He would sit there and play it forever until the point where A STUDENT UNWINDS with a Playstation game.

God bless America.

San Jose State at New Mexico State

Those poor red-clad Aggies not only have no idea where or if they will be playing football in the coming years, but they have a pretty terrible football team this season. San Jose State on the other hand, does not have a pretty terrible football team this season. While we would not go so far as to say the Spartans are the next BCS bust- ers by any stretch of the imagination, they are 7-2 overall, 3-1 in the WAC and all of this just two years removed from being 1-12. This should be a good tune-up game for SJSU, who will face BYU next weekend. Spoiler: We’re going to pick San Jose State then too.

McNeese State at UTSA

Last season, the Roadrunners lost on the road by a field goal and finished with a much lower record than the McNeese State Cowboys. USU’S BRIAN GIBBONS prepares for a faceoff in Utah State’s 10-1 victory over the Weber State Wildcats on Nobody actually cares about that, or the game this Saturday at the George S.

Utah State vs. BYE

The bye week could not have come at a better time for USU, which has been playing a game for 10-straight weeks. It’ll be a good chance for the Aggies to rest up, heal up, study up and get psyched up for next week’s game against Louisiana Tech. Unless something weird happens, that’ll be the WAC Championship game. Really it’ll be the showdown between the two WAC teams that are any good. Oh, and both of those teams are pretty dang good.

Utah at Washington

The Utes are 4-5, 2-4 in conference. The Huskies are 5-4 and 3-3. We’re still surprised Utah hasn’t made much noise in the Pac-12, and all but one of us on staff feel sorry for our brothers to the South. Washington fans got excited about victories over Cal and Wazzou, but need to remember it was, well, Cal and Wazzou. In all honesty, this one could go either way. We’ll pick Utah, but only if that top-notch defense scores or if Reggie Dunn runs back another touchdown.

BASKETBALL: ISU From page 7 game of the season.” Roland said after watching film, he sees a few things he wants to improve on for Saturday such as free throws and involving all of his teammates more. “I want to play a little harder,” he said. “Being the point guard, being the smallest guy on the court, I need to pick up my intensity a little more.” Felton said he’s not sure what the team strengths will be. “It’s a brand new team,” he said. “One exhibition game I thought we played pretty well offensively, the other we played pretty well defensively. It’s what we decide how we’re going to play.” Utah State won last year’s meeting in Pocatello, Idaho, 75-62 and haven’t lost to Idaho State since 1981. Tip off is set for Saturday at 7:05 p.m. in the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum.
