Call of Duty for PC flops at launch

The Call of Duty: Black Ops III PC release was disappointing to many. By and large, the game purchased from Steam was either so difficult to play that it wasn’t worth it, or that the game was simply literally unplayable in one way or another. Bugs ranged from the main menu not allowing the player to pick an option to the game loading the logos for companies and then crashing.

Watts Named MAC Golfer of the Week

The warm Hawaiian sun was not enough to distract men's golfer Johnny Watts from a dominant performance at the Ka'anapali Collegiate Classic. Watts finished third out of 102 golfers, topping nine of the 10 top-100 players coming into the tournament. Though Watts finished third, he was just two strokes behind individual medalist Zach Healy out of Georgia. The Sophomore out of Fishers earned his place after posting a career-best 54-hole score of six under par 207 after going 69, 68 and 70 respectively. This is the fourth top 20 and second top ten finish for last spring's MAC individual champion.
