Lady Frogs to face tough Sooner offense

Published Nov 20, 2009

The Lady Frogs basketball team will travel to Norman, Okla. Saturday take on the No. 20 Oklahoma Sooners at 2:07 p.m.

TCU beat Fresno State at home Wednesday night 63-52 behind three players who scored in double figures, led by junior forward Helena Sverrisdottir's 15-point effort.



The 2-0 Frogs have outscored their opponents 172-82 so far this season, but likely will not have as easy of a time against a Sooners defense that allows 64 points a game. The Oklahoma offense averages 79.5 points per game.

Frogs don’t want to overlook Cowboys

Published Nov 20, 2009

Stop me if this sounds familiar. Coming off a huge win, the Frogs go into the mountains. They're playing a team with the reputation of a hard-nosed defense in a loud stadium with only a few diehard Frog fans making the trip. It's freezing and snowing.

TCU doesn't play Air Force this week, but they will see a similar foe in Wyoming. This isn't a warning that Wyoming might beat us. It's a warning that the same results aren't acceptable anymore.

Applying early doesn’t help chances of receiving aid

Published Nov 20, 2009

Contrary to findings from an article out earlier this month on SmartMoney.com, applying early to some colleges might not be a sure bet to secure adequate financial aid, a university official said.

Mike Scott, director of scholarships and student financial aid, said while the university did have an early action application deadline in November, decisions from his office on financial aid would not be made until February. He said arrangements for academic scholarships followed the early action deadline and the Dec. 15 deadline for award consideration.

Stuff the turkey and not yourself

"Hey Uncle Buck, could you please pass me the mashed potatoes? I need to put about a pound of them on my plate next to the turkey legs. You know, it is Thanksgiving after all."

Uncle Buck gladly passes you the homemade, buttery mashed potatoes as you eye his obnoxious, red-deer sweater that he seemingly pulled out of a magic wardrobe just in time for Thanksgiving and other holidays.
