Horned Frogs baseball: team breakdown

Published Jan 27, 2011

The preseason No. 1 Horned Frogs baseball team has an experienced nucleus of infielders going into the 2011 season.

The Frogs could have experienced starters at every position with two seniors, a junior and a redshirt sophomore coming back. Every member of the infield played in last year's College World Series in Omaha, Neb.

Shortstop Taylor Featherston said the experience was a big advantage. The infield is as confident as ever, and the lineup looks strong for 2011, he said.

Second baseman Jerome Pena commented on how the infield operates as a unit.

TCU men’s basketball aims to ground Air Force at home Saturday

Published Jan 27, 2011

Head men's basketball coach Jim Christian's goal at the beginning of the season was to get 17 wins.

But after losing 71-46 to New Mexico on the road Wednesday, that goal might be unrealistic, and Christian knows it.

"At this point I can't [look at 17 wins as a goal]. At this point, it's what can I do to get through to guys as individuals to get them to play better as a team, and as a whole, to win the game that night. That's what it's really about now," Christian said.

When the Pittsburgh Steelers practice on campus next week, Sgt. Alvin Allcon of TCU Police said he hoped there would not be an increase of traffic.

Allcon said there might be more traffic if the Steelers host a press conference on campus, but he expected most traffic to be in downtown Fort Worth and Sundance Square.

"There's a lot of activity that's been planned downtown," he said. "The ESPN folks have actually already moved or are in the process of moving in downtown at Sundance Square and will be setting up there."

TCU's Saturday conference game against Air Force at 5:00 p.m. at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum will be more than just an opportunity for TCU to snap its four-game losing streak.

TCU will retire James Cash Jr.'s No. 54 jersey at halftime. Cash was the first African-American to play in the Southwest Conference from 1967-69 and also became the first full-time African-American professor at the Harvard Business School.

Cash also led TCU to a SWC championship in the 1967-68 season and is in the top-five all-time for TCU career points and rebounds.

Purke motivated by CWS defeat

Purke motivated by CWS defeat

Published Jan 27, 2011

There's still a bitter taste that lingers in sophomore pitcher Matt Purke's mouth after the 2010 season.

The taste of losing for a pitcher who went 16-0 his freshman season might be indescribable. That's why he and his team take things 200 feet at a time after TCU's first 2010 College World Series berth; they certainly don't count the days, either, Purke said.

"Just the bitter taste of getting third instead of first [in the CWS]," Purke said. "We were one game away from the final series, so we're looking to make it to that final series [in 2011] and win the whole thing."
