Though the Horned Frogs are traveling to Utah this weekend, fans won't have to travel far to cheer on the team.

Nearby restaurants plan to offer a host of specials watch parties for Frog fans this weekend, and the game will even be broadcast in residence halls through a special negotiation with the university's cable provider.

An on-campus organized watch party is being hosted by HyperFrogs in 1873, student activities adviser Brad Thompson wrote in an e-mail. Sodexo will provide free chips, salsa and tie-dying outside 1873 before and during the game.

Who needs to man up this week? Randy Moss.

Moss, a seven-time pro-bowler, is on the verge of being moved to his third NFL team this season. Moss started the 2010 season as a member of the New England Patriots and was traded to the Minnesota Vikings four weeks into the season. The Patriots were inclined to trade him after he made negative comments towards the coaching staff. Earlier this week, he was released from the Minnesota Vikings. Again, his departure came after getting into an argument.

For the first time in Bowl Championship Series history, three non-automatic qualifying teams are ranked in the top five of the BCS poll, but analysts and bloggers are debating moving a lower-ranked powerhouse school above a higher-ranked non-automatic qualifying school.

Having a top five with three teams from non-automatic qualifying conferences should be a sign that these schools deserve to play in top bowl games. Non- automatic qualifying schools are performing in the computer systems as good as, and in some cases better, than the schools from automatic qualifying conferences.

During a thunderstorm, I pay close attention to any weather updates that appear on my browser or my phone. Even knowing that there could potentially be a tornado within a 50-mile radius freaks me out. I am quite fearful of wind-powered death machines traveling at 50 mph 8212; because that's what I see when I think of tornadoes. But rationally speaking, other people are normal and don't overreact as much as I do.

The War on Terror will come to define our generation. It will do so much like World War II and the Cold War defined previous generations. It will define our values, the way we think, our worldviews and...

I have been wondering since coming to college if relationships have always been so screwed up or if is this a new facet of our generation.

Recently, the country has drawn its attention to the suicides of teens and college students, especially those who said they were homosexual. The main cause for these events is said to be bullying, but I think it goes deeper than that. Even before this trend was sparked in the media, I noticed something that disturbed me.

Students don't have to wait until the end of the semester for Student Perception of Teaching evaluations to show appreciation for their professors thanks to the Thank a Teacher for Teaching Excellence program.

To senior Bobby Senter, Greek life has offered more than just a community of brothers.

Senter, a member of Kappa Sigma fraternity, said he got an internship at Citigroup through a fraternity brother who had connections with the company.

While job positions are limited, especially in the current economy, the networking that comes along with the Greek system can help students get over that hump, he said.

Unusual weather could prompt students to pay more attention to weather statements, but a lack of clarity in those statements might prevent students from understanding what they mean, according to research from a doctoral student at Michigan State University.

Researcher Bob Drost said people do not take enough action during severe storm warnings. Drost found that only 63 percent of people understood that a warning is the most severe type of statement issued by the National Weather Service, according to Softpedia.com.

Governor Rick Perry's platform about making college affordable through funding for financial aid programs wouldn't affect the university since it is a private institution, a university political science professor said.

James Riddlesperger said for the state as whole, this year's elections were influenced more by each candidate's plans to pull state funds from one program and use them for another.

Perry, the Republican incumbent, defeated Democratic challenger Bill White to win a third four-year term as Texas governor.

Did you hear about Maci and Ryan? Whatever is going to happen to Brooke? Mansfield is so close! Farrah really shouldn't be going out all the time.
