Frogs open season Friday against Kansas

Published Feb 17, 2011

The No. 1 ranked TCU baseball team officially opens its 2011 campaign this weekend with a home series against Kansas.

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

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.

Prayer a part of the playbook

Published Feb 16, 2011

When a football player points his finger to the sky after running into the end zone or quickly kneels down to give a quick "thank you," there might be more to these faithful gestures than most fans think.

Faith and football can absolutely go hand in hand, and TCU football is no different, said the Rev. Chauncey Franks, who serves as the TCU football team's life and character coach.

Franks, a Fellowship of Christian Athletes chaplain, said faith is a great thing to have on and off the field to motivate and bring a sense of unity to the team.

Sign me up for Quidditch

Published Feb 16, 2011

The first time I ever picked up a "Harry Potter" book was in fourth grade. It was library day for my class, and I had finished the series I'd been reading and needed something new.

Although I'd never heard of it before, I loved it from the moment I opened to page one of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." I became the mega-fan: the girl who can quote whole chapters of the books and act out each movie without breaking a sweat. Imagine my joy when I was first told about Quidditch at TCU.
