A Philly cheesesteak cooked up in Texas probably isn't expected to taste like an original cheesesteak from Philadelphia - especially when the owner of the joint is from Florida.

Scott Wilkes opened up Billadelphia's II, located at 2110 West Berry St., eight weeks ago. Billadelphia's II uses the same ingredients and menu as the original Billadelphia's, which is located in Bedford, Wilkes said. Wilkes partnered with Bill Walter as co-owners of the two establishments.

Greek affiliation shouldn't be top concern in yearbook

Greek affiliation shouldn’t be top concern in yearbook

Published Nov 6, 2009

I checked my e-mail last Friday, Oct. 30, to find that the 2008-2009 Horned Frog yearbook was ready to be picked up by students who ordered one. Having ordered my yearbook after my picture was taken last year, I was excited to finally see what was bound inside the bright, white cover. As I flipped through the first few pages, I was impressed and a little nostalgic at the thought of freshman year. When I turned to the pages with the names and pictures of the students, however, my awe turned somewhat to astonishment.

Frogs shouldn’t overlook SDSU passing attack

Published Nov 6, 2009

On campus, the buzz about an upcoming TCU football game has reached levels of craziness that would drive any Horned Frog to spit blood out of its eyes. But that hype surrounds the Utah game, which is in two weeks, and the Frogs still have San Diego State to get through before the Utah game.

The Aztecs come into the game a mediocre 4-4, with wins over four very poor teams - Utah State, New Mexico, New Mexico State and Colorado State. Their rush defense ranks very low in the Football Bowl Series, coming in at a dismal 66th.
