TCU will put the nation's longest winning streak on the line Saturday when it hosts No. 22 Texas Tech in front of a sold-out crowd at Amon Carter Stadium.With their win last week, the Frogs extended their winning streak to 12 games, which is three games ahead of the winning streaks of West Virginia and Ohio State.

So you still want to go to Saturday's TCU/Texas Tech game? You may need some deep pockets.Tickets for the game at Amon Carter Stadium, which seats more than 44,000, have been sold out for three weeks, say university officials. But electronic ticket outlets like eBay and StubHub! have been offering 50-yard-line seats this week for as much as $300 each. A search Tuesday on StubHub!, a Web site that offers tickets for sporting events and concerts, displayed four tickets in Section V, Row 45 that were selling for $300 each.

The TCU Volleyball team earned an easy victory Wednesday night as it eased past the Texas State Bobcats in three games at the University Recreation Center.The 11-2 Frogs came off a disappointing loss to the University of Mississippi, but returned to sweep the 3-8 Bobcats 30-24, 30-17, and 30-25.

"It's the best we've played in two consecutive games," head coach Prentice Lewis said.

The Frogs had 49 kills in the game, led by junior outside hitter and middle blocker LeMeita Smith's team-high 12 kills.

A Pepsi and a Milky Way bar? Swipe it! A new calculus book? Swipe it! Thirty seven bottles of Pepto-Bismol and a copy of Ann Coulter's newest political book? Well, you get the picture.Today, seemingly anything that one could want on campus is available via the use of our student ID card. Cool? I guess.

An indoctrination into a system of plastic over cash that will one day launch our nation into a second Great Depression? You bet.

TCU has taken an extra step toward making the treatment of all students more equal.As reported in the Skiff earlier this month, all students may now appeal alcohol citations to a committee comprised of five to eight students and a residential staff member. The students who serve on the committee are members of a 32-student board representing every dorm on campus with the exception of Brachman Hall, which had a lack of applicants.

Five years ago during my 8th grade U.S. History course, I vividly remember watching two American Airlines flights violently crash into the World Trade Center on TV, sending cascading smoke and debris into the air.My dad is an American Airlines pilot who was flying to an unbeknownst destination on Sept. 11. With no possible way to contact him, 9/11 was initially more than a national catastrophe to me - it was a personal disaster. To me, going to war was originally a practical and well-founded idea.

Imagine growing-up in a town where cattle easily outnumber the city's population. Now imagine your town's name actually means a horse, especially a quiet, plodding horse for farm work or family use, according to dictionary.com.

If you are wondering what town this could possibly be, look no further than Dobbin, Texas, which is approximately 45 minutes north of The Woodlands.

Dobbin is the hometown of Dakota Gring, a junior finance and accounting major, who said she could not be happier about growing-up in a small town.

Job hunters who are not affiliated with TCU can no longer access job listings on FrogJobs, the University Career Services' online job database, UCS staff members said.FrogJobs, which lists full-time and part-time jobs both on and off campus, was updated over the summer, said Lynne VonRoeder, a graduate intern for UCS. Now, only TCU students and alumni can access it, she said.

"Non-TCU students were accessing it and not complying with the rules," VonRoeder said.
