![]() Storytelling from Native American voices provides a great value to our educational systems and a powerful insight to the raw history of Native cultures. It’s important to understand that though there are different forms of literature and resources aimed to raise awareness of Native American cultures, many lack the full story and contain misconceptions about the true history of Indigenous peoples.

Indigenous people helped shape-and continue to help shape-the path of today’s world. ![]()

He had it painted “psychedelic” then later had it stripped down to natural. Lennon on the other hand seems to have really bonded with his. George played his some but moved on to other guitars. Paul McCartney got his Casino in 1964 and used it beautifully, playing the solo on “Ticket To Ride.” John and George got theirs in 1966. There are a few other instruments that while not quite as “iconic” as those mentioned above, were nevertheless well known because of The Beatles: the Epiphone Texan, the Rickenbacker 4001 bass and-last but not least-the Epiphone Casino. Several of their instruments became very popular because of their association with The Beatles, particularly the iconic Hofner Beatle Bass, The Gretsch Country Gentleman, the Rickenbacker 325 and 360/12 and, of course, Vox amps. ![]() There’s even a whole book devoted to just their gear (Beatles Gear by Andy Babiuk).

Utah’s offensive line is 90th in pressure allowed and 118th in the percentage of blown blocks in the running game. Ron Stone Jr., Brennan Jackson and Daiyan Henley have 46 combined pressures and 20 tackles for loss. ![]() Defensively, they rank 29th in points per drive and are led by a defensive line that has a high havoc rate. That's because the Cougars are outstanding on defense but very limited at scoring points on offense. Washington State is 4-3, and in six of the Cougars' games, the Under hit. However, I’m not taking Washington State with the points. This is just not a kind place for ranked teams to play under the lights of Martin Stadium. Who, in 2017, went to Pullman on a Friday night as the fifth-ranked team in the nation and ended up losing 30-27? Yep, the Trojans. Why are the Utah Utes - the preseason conference championship favorites - going on the road to play a Thursday night football game at one of the two venues in the conference where weird stuff happens?
