BCS bowl a possibility for Frogs

Published Oct 21, 2008

The Frogs were ranked going into their Sept. 27 game against the then-No. 2 Oklahoma Sooners.

After that loss, I wondered if they would be in the top 25 again this season. Then TCU hosted Brigham Young University last week.



That demolition of the then-No. 9 Cougars, coupled with losses by eight ranked teams, boosted the Frogs from the realm of the unranked to right in the middle of the BCS picture.

Amid a sea of purple TCU Frogs for the Cure T-shirts, about 100 students with "AED" printed on their sleeves proudly walked on to the football field at halftime Thursday night.

These students did so, in major part, to honor breast cancer survivor Denise Bennett.

Baylor’s attempt to up rankings unethical

Published Oct 21, 2008

The university may have agreed to discount items at the bookstore after a Horned Frog victory, but until recently Baylor University was giving a bookstore break for something with a bit more baggage.

Presidential debates end with nothing said

Published Oct 21, 2008

If you had the misfortune of setting time aside to watch the three presidential debates and could actually pick out a policy or plan that either candidate supported, then I applaud you. The three debates were nothing more than chances for the two candidates to size one another up, all while hurling insults back and forth and stumbling over their proposed plans for America's future. All the debates showed me was that both were fighting for the common man.
