The gubernatorial race between Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchinson and Gov. Rick Perry reached disappointing new lows with some of the name calling that's been going on for the past few weeks. I haven't seen this kind of vicious attacking, name-sullying and general contempt between two candidates since ... well, the last presidential election.

This calls attention to a tradition of politics that we frankly should have grown out of as a nation --- the tradition of taking the other man down with you and hoping that you get in a few more cheap shots just in time for the ballots to be cast.

The Horned Frogs control their own destiny in the Bowl Championship Series now that they moved their way to No. 6, past the other BCS buster hopeful, Boise State University. The word "destiny" implies belief that something was born or made for a certain purpose, and during the past few years in Fort Worth, most college football fans would agree this Frog team has been made to make national headlines.
