Published Dec 2, 2010

The Horned Frog hand sign isn't only thrown up at sporting events for graduating senior Kailea Browning. For her and her long generation of TCU legacies, the Horned Frog hand sign is shown at weddings too.

At her brother's wedding reception, the Browning family proudly gathered around a purple Horned Frog wedding cake while showing their everlasting TCU pride.

"That was a moment my family and I will always remember," she said. "Not everyone can share something that special."

Cyberbullying hard to catch, but must be stopped

Cyberbullying hard to catch, but must be stopped

Published Dec 2, 2010

Assistant professor of educational psychology Amber Esping compared cyberbullying to the way packs of hyenas hunt their prey in the wild. They stalk herds of animals to find the weakest one, chase it until it cannot flee any longer, and then eat it alive.

As a professor, Esping discussed with students how hyena hunting paralleled human bullying and what can be done to change it, she said.

Men’s basketball ready for the challenge of Big East

Published Dec 2, 2010

Men's basketball head coach Jim Christian said the TCU's conference change to the Big East has generated excitement within the program and a readiness to compete.

"Our kids are excited about it, our fans are excited about it and obviously I'm excited about it," Christian said.

The men's basketball team, however, was questioned by many as to whether the program was developed enough to play on the same level as the other teams in the Big East.

Every program across the country has gone through cycles of highs and lows, Christian said.

Published Dec 1, 2010

Want some free scantrons? If so, you're in luck. Student Government Association representatives passed a bill Tuesday that will make 2,500 scantrons available for students to pick up at the library.

This is a kept campaign promise, and it's a great option for most students. As a senior majoring in the liberal arts, I am still running through my supply of scantrons that I purchased as an enthusiastic freshman.

Athletic director, Del Conte, deserves praise

Published Dec 1, 2010

It's easy to praise an athletic director when times are good. Chris Del Conte arrived at TCU just a couple months before the football team went to its first BCS bowl, and about a month after that the baseball team began a season that ended in Omaha.

Times were good.

And now, about 13 months after Del Conte's arrival, times have legitimately never looked better for TCU athletics. And Del Conte is to thank for that.

Miami Heat lacks teamwork, sportsmanship

Miami Heat lacks teamwork, sportsmanship

Published Dec 1, 2010

Who needs to man up this week? The Miami Heat.

The Heat have gotten off to a slow start this year and have lost four of their last six games. This is a team that had huge expectations coming into the season after adding two superstars, LeBron James and Chris Bosh, to compliment Dwayne Wade.

So who is to blame for this unexplainable start? Sure you can blame their head coach, Erik Spoelstra, but if you have three superstars playing on the same team, it shouldn't matter who the coach is.
