OPINION Sports: Resurgence: Formula One rising again in US

OPINION Sports: Resurgence: Formula One rising again in US By Rodrigo Rendon CuevasSports WriterPublished Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2024 Ever since Liberty Media took controlling interest in Formula One, it has moved the pinnacle of motorsport to heights never before thought possible.

OPINION: This is for all the sad voters

OPINION: This is for all the sad voters By Marissa ContrerasManaging EditorPublished Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2024 Nov. 5, 2024, was a stressful night. Being in The Bridge office, looking at the red and blue United States, I waited for Pennsylvania to turn blue. It never happened. By morning, our new president was called, and it was who I expected but not who I wanted. Marissa Contreras The reason I wanted a female president was because I knew everyone’s basic human rights were going to be protected. I knew I would be a secure woman living in America. As an American, I knew my privilege with this election was higher than others. But as a person with empathy, I knew no amount of tears and love could help my friends whose lives after this election will not have the same outcome as...

OPINION: Goodbye TAMIU, it’s been nice

OPINION: Goodbye TAMIU, it’s been nice By Juan Carlos PuenteEditor-in-chiefPublished Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2024 This will be my last opinion piece for The Bridge since I am graduating in December. At first, I had been putting this article off because I felt like I had nothing to say. I’m graduating, why does it matter? Now that I am writing, I can’t help but feel a tightness in my chest. Juan Carlos Puente The Bridge has been my home away from home for the past three semesters and I’m left with the regret that I didn’t join sooner. Coming into college, I was in a bad headspace riding off a breakup and a parental divorce. I felt that nothing else mattered, not even my classes. I didn’t even know what I wanted to do afterward, the original plan was graphic design at University ...

OPINION: MUSIC REVIEW: ‘Chromakopia’ is great, everyone just loves to hate 

OPINION: MUSIC REVIEW: Chromakopia is great, everyone just loves to hate  By Juan Carlos PuenteEditor-in-ChiefPublished Thursday, Nov. 21, 2024 Tyler Gregory Okonma, known professionally as Tyler, The Creator, recently released his new album Chromakopia to much critical acclaim. Despite its greatness, people all over social media are giving the album low ratings just because of a specific featured artist they don’t like or because the album is “not hype enough.” I felt the album was extremely good and holds a solid place right under Tyler’s 2019 album Igor, widely regarded to be his best album to date. What makes Chromakopia great is how it delves into the more personal aspects of Tyler’s current life, something fans haven’t really seen before. Juan Carlos Puente Tyler delve...

Previously, Ruben Rodriguez served as an assistant coach alongside former coach Phillip Middleton.
