TCU Horned Frogs jump Oregon to finish No. 2 in AP’s final football poll

Published Jan 11, 2011
TCU has leap-frogged the University of Oregon to finish No. 2 in the The Associated Press's final football poll following No. 1 Auburn's 22-19 victory against then No. 2 Ducks in the BCS championship Monday night.

The No. 2 spot gives TCU it's highest ranking in 63 years, since winning the 1938 national title. The Horned Frogs received three first place votes. TCU finished with a 13-0 record after beating Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl.

The Mountain West finished with the best bowl record of any conference at 4-1.

Horned Frogs take on Wyoming Wednesday

Published Jan 11, 2011

The Horned Frogs will look to end their four-game losing streak against conference opponent Wyoming(8-8, 1-1 MWC) at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Daniel-Meyer Coliseum.

The Cowboys enter the game with confidence as they secured a buzzer-beater win last week against No. 25 UNLV, a team that has skirted in and out of the top-25 rankings early this season.

Although Wyoming is entering the game on a high, the Frogs(9-8, 0-2 Mountain West Conference) are determined to make their way back into the win column.

Although season tickets were at an all-time high during this year's football season, Del Conte said all season ticket holders from last season would have a seat in Amon G. Carter Stadium as it is being renovated. He added that the student section would not be affected by the decreased number of available seats.

Published Jan 11, 2011

FIFA's executive committee chose Qatar to host the 2022 World Cup over the U.S., Japan, Australia and South Korea in a secret vote Dec. 2.

Looking at these countries on the surface, how is Qatar the odd man out? Size. Qatar is slightly smaller than Connecticut and half the size of Israel. Every four years, the world's largest and most popular sporting event, the FIFA World Cup, draws an average of two million fans from across the globe. Qatar currently has a population of 841,000, according to a Houston Chronicle article.

BCS system far from perfect

Published Jan 11, 2011

TCU athletics director Chris Del Conte told ESPN Tuesday he loves the system in place that put undefeated TCU at No. 2 in The Associated Press rankings after No. 1 Auburn defeated then-No. 2 Oregon 22-19 in the BCS National Championship 8212; at least until they get a system that is going to be absolutely perfect, Del Conte said.

I was unable to get in contact with head football coach Gary Patterson regarding TCU's No. 2 AP ranking, but he has also reiterated to ESPN that he was content to live by the current system.

Republicans take on great responsibility with House majority

Published Jan 11, 2011

Last November, the tea party fervor that swept the nation for more than a year and a half was finally voiced in the ballot box. Democrats lost their majority in the House of Representatives and saw much of their majority diminish in the Senate. This came about due to high budget deficits, high unemployment and controversial legislation, such as health care.

With the great power bestowed upon the Republicans by voters comes a great responsibility to those who enabled them to come into power.

Admission applications hit record high

Admission applications hit record high

Published Jan 11, 2011

Admission applications for the 2011-2012 school year have already passed last year's record of 14,075 and have shown no sign of slowing down, Dean of Admission Ray Brown said.

With one application deadline left, the number of applicants was near 16,000 last Wednesday. Brown projected that the final number of applicants would reach 18,000 after the Feb. 15 deadline.

The record-breaking number of applicants to the university has increased selectivity and created challenges for the Office of Admission, Brown said.
