Rangers could lose Lee to the Yankees

Published Nov 10, 2010

In his first three appearances in the 2010 postseason, Cliff Lee was flawless. Over 24 innings against the Tampa Bay Rays and the New York Yankees, Lee allowed a total of two runs and tallied 34 strikeouts.

Heading into Game 1 of the World Series, most were sure that Lee would dominate the offensively-challenged San Francisco Giants. However, the Rangers were routed in the series with Lee taking two losses in the opening Game 1 and critical Game 5 of the series.

Having senior quarterback Andy Dalton on the front cover of Sports Illustrated will not only help with national exposure for the football team, but across the board for all sports at TCU, the director for athletics media relations said Wednesday.

Director of Athletics Media Relations Mark Cohen said that it's great to see TCU with this level of national exposure and it is a testament to what the football program has done under the leadership of head football coach Gary Patterson.

"It helps further spread the TCU name and increase our visibility," Cohen said.

The Cowboys need to man up

The Cowboys need to man up

Published Nov 10, 2010

Who needs to man up this week? The Dallas Cowboys.

Wade Phillips, the former head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, was fired Monday after leading the team to a 1-7 start. Offensive coordinator Jason Garrett has taken over as the interim head coach for the rest of the season.

But will this really fix all of the problems with this team?

Only time will tell. My issue with this switch is that Garrett's coaching style is too similar to Phillips' and a coaching change should bring in a different personality to spark a change in mentality.

As Sgt. Kelly Ham responded to a call for a suspicious vehicle in a campus parking lot, he said he counted 12 visible GPS devices on car dashboards.

He said when he attended the call for the suspicious vehicle, it didn't seem like students paid close attention to the warnings that had been sent out in regard to the recent burglaries.

"If the burglars don't see anything to steal, more than likely they won't break out a window to look through the car," he said.
