Rupert Murdoch, CEO of News Corp., the parent company of Fox Broadcasting Company , recently donated $1 million to the Republican Governors Association.

This hardly comes as a surprise to anyone who has watched Fox News. They are as reliably anti-Obama and pro-Republican as MSNBC is the other way around.

The real issue it presents is the inability for one to receive, as Fox ironically boasts, fair and balanced news.

Rare is the media outlet today that actually gives an equal voice to both sides.

After two hours under the sweltering Texas sun, sophomore speech pathology major Lacey Gardell slowly moved forward in a line wrapping around the parking lot of TCU's Daniel-Meyer Coliseum. She was hot, tired and frustrated but stayed in the line for another hour hoping to procure the best seats available for Saturday's Cowboys Classic against the Oregon State University Beavers at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington.

Tickets were made available online to students for $35 from August 21-25 but due to the overwhelming amount of student interest, TCU requested additional student tickets.

The university received nearly $500,000 in stimulus funding last year to help support part-time student employment and chemistry research, according to a U.S. government website.

Last season, the Horned Frog football team raised its expectations with a second-straight one-loss season and an appearance in its first Bowl Championship Series game.

This summer, the team piled up individual and team accolades, culminating in a No. 6 preseason ranking in the Associated Press Top 25 8212; the highest preseason ranking in the history of the program, according to TCU Athletics Media Relations.

The Horned Frog women's soccer team is in search of an offensive rhythm to help outperform the undefeated University of Houston Cougars Friday night, junior forward Jordan Calhoun said.

"Our defenders have done a great job this season," she said. "Offensively, we need to find a rhythm and that comes from playing more together."

Head Coach Dan Abdalla said he thought, with so many new players in the lineup, the outcome of the game would come down to how the team plays offensively.

From free shuttles to reduced prices on food and drinks, hot spots around Cowboys Stadium offer both hospitality and discounts to fans on game days, including the Horned Frog football season opener this Saturday.

Arlington-area restaurants are preparing to make this weekend's game day memorable and convenient for fans.

Humperdink's Restaurant & Brewery is an American-style restaurant with a very versatile menu. Adam Hernandez, Humperdink's manager, said the restaurant is known for its burgers, pizzas and salads, along with its beer, which is fresh-brewed on the premises.

Students in Ellen Broom's psychology classes will earn extra credit for showing school spirit and supporting for breast cancer if they wear a pink or purple shirt on Friday.

Broom, a breast cancer survivor, will give participating students in her classes a free activity grade for supporting Frogs for the Cure, the university's annual fundraiser for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation.
