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.

Moving up one spot in both polls, the Horned Frogs ended up at No. 10 in the AP poll, and No. 9 in the USA Today poll.

This is the first time TCU has been ranked in the top 10 this early in the season since 1959.

With a win against the Southern Methodist University Mustangs, the Horned Frogs have started 4-0 for the second straight season. The game against SMU was the team's last non-conference game.

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.

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.
