Since the birth of the world wide web, creative users have
whipped up images or comics with the intent of making others laugh.
Within the last decade and the rise of social media, there has
been an influx in meme culture that has streamlined across gen-

the day. In today’s world, memes have relatively short lifespans;
they are around until they are no longer funny or until another
meme takes its place. However, some of these memes have de-

USU Dean of Libraries Brad Cole said there is no straightforward
answer on why the library doesn’t have a back door. Instead, it is a mix of factors.
To begin with, the single entrance to the Merrill-Cazier Library
gives the library staff an easy way to control the ongoings of the
library, according to Cole. “One door allows us to control the flow of people and materials in-and-out of the building,” Cole said.

took heading into the second period.
The Utah State University Aggies hockey team
hosted and competed in the annual “Beehive Showcase” Nov. 21-24. The Aggies opened with a
win, but dropped their next three games across the series.
A total of seven teams competed in the event,
headlined by no. 1 ranked University of Mary and the fourth-ranked University of Northern Arizona Ice Jacks. On Nov. 21, NAU’ first game of the show-
case was against no. 5 ranked Utah State, which proved to be a test for both teams.
In the first period, USU’s Conner McKeachnie
opened the scoring nine minutes into the game, setting the stage for a see-saw match. Shortly af-
ter McKeachnie’s goal, NAU’s Rayce Miller put one past Aggie goalie Ethan Wiese to tie the game.
Unfazed by the goal, the Aggies struck back just
The middle 20 minutes was relatively uneventful
scoring-wise, as the Ice Jacks were the only team
to register a goal, which knitted the game at two. It was the final period, however, where the pucks would fly.
The Ice Jacks continued to pressure the Aggies,
scoring the next two goals in the first 10 minutes of the third. With the score at 4-2 and half the period
gone, it looked as if USU was destined for a loss. However, a goal by Olli Jansson after a productive power play expired brought the Aggies within striking distance, 4-3.
Jansson’s goal breathed new life into USU and
the team went on to score two unanswered goals within four minutes to go, taking a 5-3. The score
held and the Aggies went on to win their first game of the showcase.
Game two was not as fruitful for USU, as the
team struggled to gain their footing against the next opponent, the University of Northern Colorado Bears.

Broncos play role of matador, fdemolish USU’s MW title hopes By Dalton Renshaw SPORTS CONTENT MANAGER
Momentum is a fickle concept.
There’s no doubt it can carry a team through a hard stretch to mount a comeback, March Madness being one
of the greatest examples of this. For Utah State University football, however, it would be hard to make a case
that momentum is something that can be carried over on a week-to-week basis.
After two impressive wins against
Fresno State on the road and Wyo-
ming at home — both took until the fourth quarter for the Aggies to pull away — Saturday showed regression to the mean for Utah State, suffering a crushing 56-21 defeat to Boise State.
Much to most people’s surprise, ju-
nior quarterback Jordan Love start-
ed the game after exiting last week’s
game after the third quarter without much of an explanation. Love played
a phenomenal second quarter against
Wyoming the previous week and was
la large reason why the Aggies were in
position to win the game — putting
up 223 yards of total offense in that d single frame.
Whether it be injury, fatigue or just e facing a quality opponent, the moe mentum didn’t carry over for Love
against Boise State. His 154 yards passing in the first half was deceiving y and the performance was much more n of a dichotomy than an endorsement of his talents.
A lengthy 47-yard pass to Deven Thompkins was probably the high-
n
light throw for Love on the night, but his poor decision making was also on display with a pick-six throw tak-
en the distance by cornerback Jalen Walker early in the second quarter. As with most of Love’s interceptions this season, the defender knew exact-
