I am writing in response to Thursday's article about the TCU Rangers. First of all, I'd like to point out that I have not missed a single home football game in the three and a half years I've been attending TCU. I fully support the football team and wish them the best for the remainder of the season. I don't understand how a group of guys dressed nice just standing on the field helps rally school spirit. Yeah, they might be at the game, somewhat adding to the attendance, but that doesn't help get anyone else in there or get people fired up.

The Frogs (8-0, 4-0) stood pat in the BCS rankings after this weekend's 41-0 drubbing of UNLV, but moved up in both the AP and USA Today polls.

While staying at No. 6 in the BCS, the Frogs jumped from the No. 8 spot to No.6 in the AP rankings, though still behind No. 5 Boise State.

In the USA Today poll, however, the Frogs jumped from No. 6 to No. 4, and are ahead of the No. 5 Broncos.

After the game, head coach Gary Patterson spoke about the team's performances and what he did and did not like.

Nov. 5 - 8 - Race Week at Texas Motor Speedway

The speedway will once again become a gearhead's heaven this week with the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck Series, complete with fast cars, cold beers and cut-off shorts. Check the Web site for times and details for the week.

The Horned Frogs might not need another LaDainian Tomlinson if their tailback by committee system keeps working so well.

The Frogs (8-0, 4-0) racked up 390 yards on the ground en route to a 41-0 victory over the UNLV Rebels (3-6, 1-4).

Senior tailback Joseph Turner, who averaged 6.5 yards per carry in the win, said that sharing the ball with his fellow runners has its benefits when it comes to staying energized.

"I can tell that we stay fresh," Turner said. "I'm just happy to be playing with some talented running backs."

After front-page articles announced that Texas would be vaccinating inmates in Texas prisons for the swine flu, a public outcry led to an apparent reversal of the decision.

One woman commented to NBC 5 that Texas should use the inmates like "guinea pigs" to see if the vaccine has any ill effects. Am I the only one who sees the hypocrisy of statements like this being made on the premise of moral superiority?

A recent effort by Dining Services to go green could help plants grow even greener by providing gardens with used coffee grounds as a fertilizer.

Dining Services plans to start offering free used coffee grounds to students, faculty and staff Monday, said Kelly Raw, marketing manager for Dining Services. The program would reduce waste by recycling the grounds, which had been thrown away in the past.

Starbucks has participated in a similar used coffee grounds program since 1995.

Chris Brown, the singer infamously known now for his domestic dispute with fellow musician Rihanna, is doing what anyone else in his position would do: a "fan appreciation" tour.

Not only that, but he publicly announced the tour only a few hours after the release of a new Rihanna single.

Instead of concentrating on the judicial punishment he received for attacking Rihanna, which was six months of community service, domestic abuse counseling and five years of probation, he is staying true to his entrepreneurial roots.
