Newfound lunacy around Lipscomb sports
Duke has the Cameron Crazies. Ohio State has The Nuthouse. Texas A&M has the 12th Man. And this year, Lipscomb might just be forming their answer to great student sections at the biggest athletics programs in the nation. Behind a few friends who are new to campus, a simultaneous idea birthed in separate states, and pure passion for the Purple and Gold, an upstart fan base has quickly snowballed into an official student section. It’s complete with watch parties, trips to away games, and dreams of much more. They’re the Lippy Lunatics, and by the looks of things, they’re only getting started. Everything began with two student managers on Lipscomb’s…

Republished from Lumination Network, March 23, 2022. For the first time since the start of the pandemic, Singarama will be held in person, in Collin Alumni Auditorium, March 24-26. The 59th Annual Singarama event had looked different the last two years. The pandemic halted the 2020 competition, and last year’s event was held without an in-person audience. The event is back in full force this year with the theme being Story-time.

Women’s basketball falls just short in Battle of the Boulevard
The Lipscomb women’s basketball team lost a heartbreaking 67-62 decision to the Belmont Bruins in the Battle of the Boulevard Thursday evening at Curb Event Center in Nashville, Tennessee. With the loss, Lipscomb drops to 2-4, with all four of their losses coming away from home. This occasion was a much closer battle than the Bisons’ previous three losses, coming after Lipscomb led 30-23 at halftime. “We’ve had some games where I think we’ve done a little bit of overthinking and a little bit of doubting,” third-year head coach Lauren Sumski said. “We worked really hard to execute our game plan, and this is the first time I’ve looked and…

Students share Thanksgiving traditions
While Thanksgiving is a national holiday, that doesn’t mean everyone celebrates it the same way. Sometimes having small families means you have a small close knit dinner, while others celebrate the holiday with their extended family and have close to thirty people in one home. For other students, location is a factor in how they celebrate their Thanksgiving. Besides offering a week off of classes, the Thanksgiving holiday break allows Lipscomb students to reflect on many traditions, some that may be a little comical. “My grandpa always cuts the turkey and manages to cut his finger every year,” said Amber Leach a junior finance major from Jackson, Ohio. While some…

Students spend spring break in Paris
“The first thing that strikes a visitor to Paris is a taxi,” said comedian Fred Allen. Thankfully the eight Lipscomb students who spent spring break in France as part of the course “Paris as Classroom” have far happier memories of their times spent at The Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Arch de Triumph, and other famous attractions in Paris.

Backlog: Vandalism or Expression
Republished from the Backlog 1989, pg. 28-29. Everyone has seen the many looks of the Bison this year. It has worn everything from zebra stripes to Bush/Quayle stickers. Some students label the spray-painting of the Bison as art. According to Junior Jason Shelton, it is a way of expressing inner feelings. Todd Roland considers it a harmless way to “blow off steam” and would rather see the Bison paint- ed. than a building or a car. This certainly becomes true when the “art” is an expression of a rival school. Yet other students take a more serious opinion. Sophomore Todd Burleson feels “the person(s) responsible for this must not have…
