Men’s basketball needs to keep consistency against the Cougars

Published Feb 1, 2010

After losing at home to New Mexico, the Frogs go back on the road to face another conference opponent, the Brigham Young Cougars.

The men's basketball team's 73-57 loss Saturday to the Lobos revealed a series of holes on offense and defense, said head coach Jim Christian.



"It's hard to find solid play off the bench on either end of the floor," he said. "It's hard to score, and it's hard to stop people, so we can't rest guys."



Christian said his team is struggling to find its consistency throughout the game.

The Lady Frogs dropped out of the Associated Press Top-25 poll after they lost 60-53 to the Lobos in New Mexico on Saturday.



Mittie said they did not play well against the Lobos and were not as aggressive as they should have been.

MSNBC and FOX News lacking in the “fair and balanced” department

Published Feb 1, 2010

In a recent Public Policy Polling survey of 1,151 registered voters, 49 percent, the highest for any network, stated that they trust FOX News. That's 10 percent higher than CNN, the network that calls itself "the most trusted name in news."

Overall, these numbers are quite scary. If more Americans think that FOX News offers the most credible information, then we are truly on our way to hell in a hand basket.

Baseball player Andrew Cashner en route to Major Leagues

Published Feb 1, 2010

Ivy. It surrounded former Frog pitcher Andrew Cashner earlier in the winter, as he ran through baseball workouts like he had done so many times before. Actually, it was most likely dead in the cold of a Chicago winter, but Wrigley Field always brings up thoughts of luscious vines of ivy growing all over the outfield fence in the middle of summertime baseball season.

Cashner might have the chance to play inside that ivy, alive and in the warmth of summer as the Chicago Cubs' fifth starter this season.
