It was an afternoon of home runs and big cheers for the Frogs as the team went 3-0 in their opening series against Sam Houston State.

After falling to No. 6 Baylor on the road at the beginning of the month, the No. 40 Horned Frogs (3-1) are looking ahead to their home opener against the No. 41 Texas Tech Red Raiders (5-1).

I believe censoring these shows would take away a lot of the humor that makes them so popular.

Violence is not the only answer to frustrations with bureaucracy.

Consequently, Hollywood moguls have to have some way of separating the haves from the have-nots.

It's time for baseball season again, and the Frogs are ready to go for their first series of the season.
