Fresh off their Saturday night win over Colorado State, the Horned Frogs are facing a schedule that will make it hard to close out the season as a showdown against No. 8 New Mexico on Wednesday night in Albuquerque looms large.

The then-No. 23 Lobos defeated the Horned Frogs (13-16, 5-9 Mountain West) in Fort Worth in January, 73-57. New Mexico (27-3, 13-2 MWC) is currently ranked first in the conference and defeated No. 14 BYU on Saturday, 83-81.

Sophomore Jason Coats knocked in a career high 7 RBIs as the No. 7 Horned Frog Baseball Team defeated the UT-San Antonio Roadrunners in a slugfest Tuesday night, 17 - 12, at Lupton Stadium.

On a night that hit as low as 42 degrees, Coats went 3 for 5 including one homerun and a double. The Frogs scored in all but one inning. Every Frog in the starting line up got at least one hit and scored a run.

Despite two errors that cost two runs and the TCU pitching giving up two big innings, the Frogs' offense was able to pick up more than enough runs to get the win.

Though Republican gubernatorial candidate Kay Bailey Hutchison conceded the Republican primary to Gov. Rick Perry Tuesday night, they were only four votes apart at local voting site Paschal High School with Hutchison at the lead.

According to the Associated Press, as of 10:52 p.m., statewide, Perry had 51 percent of the vote while Hutchison had 31 percent. Republican Debra Medina had close to 20 percent of the vote.

Perry will face Democrat and former Houston Mayor Bill White, who clinched the Democratic nomination.

Former TCU defensive end Jerry Hughes is known for his chameleon-like ability in football, and is proving it at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. Hughes easily transitioned from high school running back to college defensive end, and now rumors are flying that he may play outside linebacker in the National Football League.

I think this would be a wise decision, considering his just under 6-foot-3-inch, 255-pound frame. He is big enough to push the opposing offense around, but quick enough to be hard to block.

Last week, the legislators in Washington decided to get together and try to create a health care plan everyone would agree on. As expected, both sides merely pointed fingers at each other and nothing got accomplished. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton even said this would hurt U.S. reputation in the world.

This got me thinking about this whole bipartisanship thing and figuring out it's a scam and a way for politicians to quiet the American voice.

What a terrifying experience it must have been. Sitting in one's office, doing what can only be imagined as extremely tedious work, when suddenly a loud burst, followed by silence and then chaos as fire and debris envelop you. The government building in which you work has been attacked because of what it represents, something that some have come to see as an over-arching and overly intrusive force in society. The incidence of which I am speaking is not the recent airplane attack on the IRS building, but a similar attack that occurred 15 years ago in Oklahoma City.

The gubernatorial primaries may seem like a complicated process, but they give voters another opportunity to narrow the field of possible candidates.At a glanceBefore the actual race for the governor's...

Police said no injuries were reported following a car accident at about 11:45 a.m. Monday at the intersection of West Cantey Street and Stadium Drive.

Katy Cardno, a freshman pre-major, said she was turning left on West Cantey Street when a Chevy Tahoe ran the stop sign and struck her Hummer H3. There was damage to the front of both vehicles and her vehicle had to be towed, she said.

The TCU Lady Frogs (21-6; 11-3 Mountain West) will face the New Mexico Lobos (17-10; 9-6 MWC) tonight for their final home game of the regular season. A win will allow the Lady Frogs to clinch the MWC title and mark the 22nd consecutive win in Daniel-Meyer Coliseum.

Earlier in the season, TCU lost their lead midway through the second half and ended up falling to the Lobos on the road, 60-53. New Mexico travels to Fort Worth with a three-game winning streak.

A university alumna living in Chile woke up to violent shaking in her room on the 15th floor of the apartment building where her family lives in Santiago. As she heard glasses and bottles breaking, paintings falling and furniture shifting, she was sure the building would collapse. After waiting about two and half minutes for the earthquake to end because the shaking made it difficult to move, her family made the descent down the 15 flights of stairs in complete darkness to leave the building. It was one of the scariest things Carla Noriega ever experienced.

The No. 7 Horned Frog baseball team returns home to Lupton Stadium for a one-game series against the University of Texas at San Antonio Roadrunners (5-1) tonight.

TCU is coming off of a poll boasting 2-1 series against the currently ranked No. 18 Cal State Fullerton.

These wins brought the Horned Frogs to No. 7 in the Baseball America polls, the highest ranking in the program's history.
