Week 11: BYU vs. Air Force How about those TCU Horned Frogs? They sure proved to the nation they are worthy of their ranking by beating the snot out of Utah. I thank my lucky stars for this blessed event, not because a MWC team got some loving or the fact that Utah got put [...]

November 19, 2009, will forever go down in history as the day Utah County got “hella chill.” Today, I decided to witness the Californization of Utah with the grand opening of Orem’s In-N-Out Burger. I wasn’t really that hungry, but it was a local cultural event. Besides, I already slept through the meteor shower earlier [...]

As may have become clear from my past articles, I am an opinionated, well-informed, brilliant student of film. This is why I made sure to get myself a seat at the midnight showing of The Twilight Saga: New Moon. I wouldn’t miss this watershed moment in American cinema for anything in the world. Certainly not [...]

When I finally resigned myself to the fact that each new episode of Glee would be slightly more mediocre than the one before it, I began looking for another TV show to follow. Thankfully, I happened across ABC’s V,  a taut sci-fi thriller that has shown more potential in its first two episodes than most [...]

Last week, the same church that propelled a campaign prohibiting gay marriage in California came out in support of a statute in Salt Lake City that would protect the GLBT community from discrimination in housing and employment. Before the Salt Lake City Council unanimously approved the measure to a standing ovation, the LDS Church sent [...]

John Mayer’s soon-to-be-released album Battle Studies (out Tuesday) just moved to the top of my most anticipated list. But for not the right reasons. As Rhombus’ illustrious editor can attest, I don’t get into new music easily, so the idea that a new release just became “anticipated” says something significant. In this case, significantly worrying [...]

We haven’t done a ton of album reviews yet here at Rhombus, so we’re still throwing different things at the wall to see what sticks. For Imagine Dragons’ self-titled EP, we decided to have two of our contributors, Scott Manning and William Sutton, offer their thoughts on the disc, in order to provide you with [...]

Week 10: BYU at New Mexico Every once in a while, a certain team has ownership over another. In the case of Bronco Mendenhall and BYU, there is no question which team they dominate. Since becoming head coach, Mendenhall has beaten Wyoming by an average of 43 points per game, including two shutouts. Just internalize [...]

True visionaries are nearly always misunderstood and/or maligned. When 2001: A Space Odyssey was first released, it motivated many film critics at the time to unleash their most vitriolic prose in total condemnation of the film. They didn’t get it, and that made them livid. Then, a year or so later, after the dust had [...]
