Horned Frogs fall to Utes in first tourney action

Published May 20, 2009

TCU spoiled an opportunity to impress the NCAA Tournament selection committee in its bid to host a regional, losing to Utah on Wednesday night. Sloppy play and three errors contributed to the Horned Frogs' 9-7 loss on day two of the Mountain West Conference Baseball Championships at Lupton Stadium.

The team led 4-2 after three innings, but allowed the Utes to score six runs in a fourth inning that saw 10 hitters come to the plate and the Horned Frogs never regained the lead. Utah's C.J. Cron delivered the inning's big hit with a two-RBI double.

Horned Frogs sports hold best memories

Published Apr 24, 2009

This is why the phrase bittersweet was created.

When I was first asked to write a column about sports for the graduation issue, I thought about declining because that would mean my time here is officially over.



This has been the best five years of my life and I am going to miss this school with all of my heart.



So much has changed since I started here in the fall of 2004.

Cumulative finals not necessary for education

Published Apr 24, 2009

It is a safe assumption to say the next two weeks are going to be an uncontrollable frenzy of cramming and stress for all students on campus.

Finals week is upon us, and as a student in the College of Science and Engineering, I can say this is the worst week of the semester.
