It's a great year to be a Frog fan. The football team is currently No. 4 in the nation and garnering national attention. The university even sold out the Amon Carter Stadium for Saturday's game against the Utah Utes. Purple is in again.

But in reality, purple should have never gone out. Why is it that it took most of the semester to sell out the stadium? For that matter, why didn't the university even come close?

The student publications pick'em team is back for more college football action. Each participant will get one point for a correctly selected win out of the chosen games and two points for an upset pick. The standings remain the same this week with News Now reporter Maddy Foxx leading with 35 points followed by Skiff editor-in-chief David Hall right behind with 33 points. Skiff reporter Mary Sue Greenleaf is in third place with 31 points followed by Skiff sports editor Travis L. Brown with 29 points.

Drunk driving prevention programs aimed at high school students have a disconnect between adult perceptions of the problem and the real-life situations teens today face, according to one student.

Emily Taylor, a senior accounting major and Chancellor's Leadership Program member, is attempting to end the rift in these perceptions caused by the generation gap with the help of a blog, which is a new requirement for CLP students this semester.

Fort Worth Mayor Mike Moncrief said he supports the university's football program and encouraged city residents and employers to show their pride this Friday as part of the first-ever "Go Purple Day."

As part of the day of Horned Frog awareness, Moncrief said people should go casual and wear purple to work to recognize the team.

Moncrief said he hoped the day of celebration would help increase the city's and the team's presence on a national scale.

I hear them silver bells ringing, and the bright snow's glistening shroud can be seen on the distant horizon. That's right, the Christmas holiday nexus has arrived. This, of course, includes all wintry festivities from tacky sweater parties to all additional excuses to drink eggnog, and believe me, they are plenty. But alas, along with this glorious arrival comes the derogatory remarks that by hosting such other secular activities in the name of this religious holiday, we are in fact demeaning its true value. I argue not so.

This week has seen a whirlwind of zero productivity, anticipation and excitement tied up in a nice little bow of yet more preoccupation in anything other than school or office work. The only problem Frog fans face this week is which one of the many headlines to follow first? So as you sit in class or in a cubicle, taking in as much Frog news as possible on your computer while tuning out everything going on outside your purple blinders, allow me to untangle the web of jubilant mayhem that surrounds Fort Worth before the showdown in Cowtown.
