Soccer Loses to Ole Miss
6 Blend Lunch
10 Fall Fun, Finally
After a tie Friday against South Carolina, the Crimson Tide soccer team fell to Ole Miss after a physical match. With their 1-0 loss to the Rebels, the Crimson Tide now has a 7-4-2 record. The team will go on the road Thursday to take on LSU.
When two parties have a disagreement, the usual advice is to have them sit down at the same table. Blend takes that advice literally by bringing together students with different views for lunch.
The days are getting colder, the leaves are changing color and, at last, fall is in the air. Read our suggestions for fun fall festivites and make the most of the lower thermostat.

Drake could be out for 2014 season with broken left leg By Kelly Ward | Sports Editor
Blake Sims threw a short pass to Kenyan Drake for an easy 10 yards and a first down early in the second
quarter Saturday. When Byron Bennet and Tony Conner of Ole Miss got up after making the tackle, it was immediately clear that something happened to Drake. He was still on the ground, clutching his left leg. Trainers sprinted on the field to stabilize his lower leg. Minutes later, he was carted off the field. He gave the crowd a
thumbs-up as tears ran down his face. Drake was already in Birmingham with a broken leg during the post game press conference. “They’ll do all the things they need to do, but he probably will need surgery,” Saban said. “Don’t know exactly how long that will keep him out. I’m sure most of the season, if not all.”
Drake is fourth on the team in yards rushing with 112. He averages 5.1 yards a carry and 22.4 yards per game on the ground. As a receiver, he has the second-most yards with 159. He averages 31.8 yards per game. SEE INJURIES PAGE 2

Students turn from TiVo to Philo for entertainment needs New service Philo lets UA residents record TV shows By Margaret Wilbourne | Contributing Writer
Evolution might be more in Darwin’s sphere of study, but it’s nothing new to
the entertainment world. For TV aficionados, options to record favorite shows were born as VCRs, which evolved to Tivo and now to a program called Philo. Philo is a service offered to students living in UA residence halls at no cost, allowing them to view TV channels on their electronic devices, including
