Frogs come up big for seniors in finale

Frogs come up big for seniors in finale

Published Dec 1, 2009

If fans missed the pregame senior day festivities on the field, they didn't miss much - these seniors continued the celebration of their collegiate careers throughout the 51-10 win over New Mexico.

"I think (winning on senior day is more important than anything else as an underclassman)," said junior quarterback Andy Dalton. "To send the seniors out with a win, that's what you want to do."



Dalton held up his end offensively, throwing or running for every TCU offensive touchdown. However, almost all the seniors had at least a moment to shine in the win.

Lambert kiss was a freedom of expression

Published Dec 1, 2009

People were shocked at Adam Lambert's so called "controversial" performance at the American Music Awards last weekend. The flashy performance included a same-sex kiss (Lambert is openly gay), and a few seconds where oral sex was simulated with one of the dancers and a middle finger. Lambert admitted he got "carried away" when he was performing, and because of the late hour (late enough to avoid any FCC fines, according to RollingStone.com) he didn't think it was a big deal.

Frogs wrap up perfect season

Published Nov 28, 2009

Following TCU's 51-10 win over the University of New Mexico, head coach Gary Patterson's wife, Kelsey, was about the only person in the media room for the post-game press conference who wasn't completely happy with the result.

"He's sticky!" Kelsey Patterson said of her husband. "Why can't they use water?"



Coach Patterson's Gatorade shower was sticky and deserved after his football team's historic 12-0 season.



"We finally did it," Patterson said to lead off the post-game press conference.

Alcohol violations show lack of restraint

Published Nov 24, 2009

Given that alcohol violations have increased 70 percent this fall as compared to last, it is abundantly clear that students living on campus need to exercise more discretion in their consumption of alcoholic beverages.

Such a marked increase in the occurrence of the violations shows that dorm room get-togethers and groups returning from a night out are quickly evolving into loud nuisances to other residents of on-campus living facilities.
