Candidates vie for Colorado’s future Continued from cover As far as fracking went, however, none of the candidates seemed prepared to end the practice immediately. Instead, differences were found in how far each candidate was prepared to go to regulate the practice. Lopez went the least far when it came to fracking regulation.

NATIONAL BRIEFS Avalanche get swept in Sweden The Colorado Avalanche traveled to Stockholm to play the Ottawa Sentors in the NHL’s new Global Series. The Avs dropped both games 4-3, only managing to pick up one point after forcing overtime in game one of the series. Matt Duchene, whom the Avs traded to the Senators five days before the series started, did not score or get an assist, and fi nished the series with a -3 scoreline. The Avalanche return to home ice on Nov. 16 against the Washington Capitals.` Jamal Murray sets a career high in points Second-year Denver Nuggets point guard Jamal Murray set a career high in points against the Orlando Magic on Nov. 11. Murray scored 32 points in the game, including 22 in the fi rst half. His previous career high was 30. Murray was 12-21 from the field and 6-9 from three-point range.

He also had four rebounds and played 34 minutes. The Nuggets beat the Magic in blowout fashion, 125-107.

Major shakeup in college football after weekend of upsets The College Football Playoff rankings have been wildly altered after a weekend full of upsets. No. 1 University of Georgia was blown out by No. 10 Auburn University, No. 3 University of Notre Dame lost to No. 7 University of Miami and No. 9 University of Washington lost to unranked Stanford University. Several other seeded upsets also occured in the Top 25. As a result of the chaotic weekend, Alabama takes over as the new No. 1 in the College Football Playoff poll, with Clemson University, Miami and University of Oklahoma rounding out the top four. No. 3 Miami and No. 2 Clemson still have to play each other later this season, and now No. 6 Auburn plays No. 1 Alabama in the Iron Bowl to fi nish off their seasons. Th is means the rankings could still see at least one more major shift before the College Football Playoff begins in January.

USA Curling Team Trials begin in Omaha, Nebraska The team trials for a spot on the USA Olympic Curling Team began in Omaha, Nebraska on Nov. 11. Some of the best curlers in the country compete for a chance to represent the United States at the 2018 Winter Olympics from Feb. 9-25 in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The trials wrap up Nov. 18.

Overheard “Is someone screaming? Oh yeah, he’s watching curling.“

Curated by: DJ Big Sky

The Black Parade is dead. Gone are the days of closing the goddamn door. Thanks for the memories, but our misery business has been cut from the team. The revival of emo music has created both a sound and conversation too big for its skinny jeans. A cultural movement led by angst-ridden teens with too many of the not-so-great kind of feelings, the genre is still fronted by those same folks some 10 years later. Bands like My Chemical Romance and The Used were some of the first to tackle issues relating to mental health with their music, doing so with reckless abandon and copious amounts of eyeliner.

But fast-forwarding past the days of MySpace, the emo revival exists as a campaign to destroy social norms surrounding gender, personal expression and of course, mental health. Here are 12 songs to soundtrack your continuing existential crises in a Hot Topic.

Go on and swoop those bangs across your forehead, my friend. It’s okay to not be okay.
