Lack of focus, maturity and physicality led to the Horned Frogs 31-17 loss to the BYU Cougars Thursday night."You have to give BYU all the credit," head coach Gary Patterson said.

The party scene at TCU is nothing short of spectacular, but among the various forms of shindigs we throw, there is one that I cannot even begin to understand.Keggers? I can see the motive. Fraternity mixers? Great way to meet new people. But somewhere along the line, someone came up with the "wonderful" concept of the "Pimps 'n' Hos" party.

Clean up your own mess, please

Published Sep 29, 2006

College provides a taste of independence and freedom. But independence does not mean a lack of respect for those around us.
