Students have chance to witness historic upset against No. 7 BYU

Published Feb 17, 2011

TCU's Saturday home matchup against nationally ranked Brigham Young University has officially been declared a sellout.

As fans and students wait to fill the stands in Daniel-Meyer Coliseum, the Horned Frogs will have to accept the competition the Cougars have to offer.

Does the 10-17 TCU team, with only a single win in conference play (11 losses) really have a shot to prevail against 24-2 BYU, who conversely has a single loss in conference play? Anything can happen any given night, but the Frogs are the underdogs in this matchup.

Changes in education should be well-researched

Published Feb 17, 2011

The brain is a curious thing. Different brain regions perform different functions. It's small, yet complex. It's sensitive in certain situations and hardy in others.

And although the brain is versatile and complex, when it faces a new obstacle, it is not always successful.

Such a scenario played out recently when University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill students were required to take introductory Spanish classes 8212; strictly online. According to Inside Higher Ed, UNC-CH is just over two semesters into the language experiment.

‘Guitar Hero’ will not be soon forgotten

Published Feb 17, 2011

"Guitar Hero" will be no more, according to an announcement by Activision Blizzard on Feb. 9. It came following Viacom's decision to sell its own unit that created the "Rock Band" video games.

The game, created by RedOctane in collaboration with Harmonix Music Systems, Inc. studio, made its world debut in 2005.

It quickly gained popularity, and it's not hard to guess why. Ordinary people could feel like they were masters of guitar. Those of us who are tone deaf could actually play music that sounded like music.
