I write in response to an article printed Thursday, Oct. 27, talking about Air Force Coach Fisher DeBerry saying that the loss to TCU is from a lack of black players. He makes the comment that black players run faster, and that that is why they lost the game. That might be true; it might not be true.What I cannot understand is why this political correctness has gone so far that it has become ridiculous. It seems to me that no one can say anything anymore without being reprimanded for their comments.

NFL vision could come true

Published Nov 2, 2005

As I watch the Horned Frog football team this season, I keep having the same vision.It's April 2007. I only know this because there's a huge "NFL Draft 2007" banner behind a huge podium.

I see a man at the podium announcing some team's pick in the early second round. I don't hear the name of the team or the player, but I distinctly hear the words "Texas Christian University."

And as a small contingent of Horned Frog fans fills the room with cheers, a familiar face walks on to the stage.
