Horned Frogs battle Falcons to end one team’s losing streak

Published Feb 18, 2009

The two teams meeting Wednesday night in Daniel-Meyer Coliseum have combined to lose their past 18 games. With each team looking to break out of its funk, there certainly shouldn't be a lack of effort on the court.

The Horned Frogs (13-12, 4-7 MWC), losers of their past six games, are hosting the Air Force Academy Falcons (9-15, 0-11 MWC), losers of 12 straight.



"Something's going to break here, either us or them," head coach Jim Christian said. "(Air Force is) hungry and they've played well."

Published Feb 18, 2009

Major League Baseball fans need to calm down and take a step back from the absolute media frenzy surrounding the steroid scandals.

It was difficult to accept that Alex Rodriguez was using steroids when he was the overpaid star of my beloved Texas Rangers. How could this man whom millions of fans adore and admire take performance-enhancing drugs? Perhaps a better question is how could he not.

Laptops should not be banned from the classroom

Published Feb 17, 2009

It's the 21st century, professors.
