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.

You’re never too old to wear what you want

Published Nov 20, 2009

Is there an age limit on how we dress? Should there be a dress code for life, or is it about freedom of personal expression?

My daughter is having a "Twilight" themed party this weekend. All the guests will be decked out in their New Moon finery. My daughter insisted it would be "so much fun" if I wore a Twilight shirt as well. I slunk into Hot Topic and nudged two teenagers aside so I could settle on a shirt. I finally choose one featuring Taylor Lautner. Not only is he extremely attractive, but he looks young enough that I felt a little like a sex offender.

Audiences on fence about getting into 'The Box'

Audiences on fence about getting into ‘The Box’

Published Nov 19, 2009

The story is deceptively simple. A suburban couple are given a box with a button and a choice. They can push the button and get a million dollars, but the catch is that someone they don't know will die. Based on a story by legendary science fiction writer Richard Matheson that was adapted from the 1980s revamp of "The Twilight Zone," director Richard Kelly's latest film "The Box" has him reaching some of the same potential that was first seen in his debut, "Donnie Darko."

Letter to the Editor: Patterson for Coach of the Year

Letter to the Editor: Patterson for Coach of the Year

Published Nov 19, 2009

I'm a TCU alumnus, and I've been trying to get the word out for people to vote for Gary Patterson for 2009 Liberty Mutual Coach of the Year. He was No. 23 at the beginning of last week. I started a Facebook group a few days ago called "Vote Patterson - Coach of the Year 2009", and as of today, Coach P moved up to the No. 17 spot with approximately 3,000 votes. There are about two weeks of the preliminary voting phase left, but ultimately, the winning coach receives $50,000 for the charity of choice, as well as $20,000 for the alumni association.
