Frogs top 10 spot best in 50 years

Published Oct 6, 2009

For the first time in fifty years the TCU football team heads into week five ranked as a top 10 team, according to the Associated Press poll.

Published Oct 6, 2009

Winning back the Iron Skillet came with an added bonus this year - a pass into the college football VIP section, the top 10.

Ranking No. 10 in the Associated Press poll after the Frogs' fourth game marks the earliest the Frogs have placed this high since 1959, when the Frogs were ranked No. 9 after the first game of the season. If the team continues winning, it will be a contender for a BCS bowl bid coming from a non-automatic qualifying conference, annually reserved for the single best non-AQ team.

Whoever thought a show with a talking baby and dog would be such a hit?

On Sept. 27, "Family Guy" premiered for its eighth season, a great feat considering the show has been canceled twice. However, the show about a dysfunctional family, the Griffins, in the quaint little town of Quahog, R.I., simply does not want to die. "Family Guy" has now put itself along "The Simpsons" as one of those great cartoons that kids shouldn't watch.

Letter to the Editor: Guest speaker was misrepresented

Published Oct 6, 2009

I'm looking at the photograph of guest speaker and retired Homeland Security official Terry Nelson on the front page of the Sept. 30, 2009 edition of the Skiff and can't believe my eyes. Does the journalist who covered this story actually believe Mr. Nelson was encouraging attendees to "SAY YES TO DRUGS" as the (capitalized) title of the photograph states? Did the journalist actually listen to what Mr. Nelson was saying? On at least five occasions that I recall, Mr. Nelson clearly stated that he wasn't advocating drug use.
