In 2008, the Horned Frogs left Salt Lake City with their heads hung low after a 13-10 loss that snapped their winning streak and a season full of promise.

Now a BCS bowl game appearance is on the horizon.

Kevin Ash, chief administrative officer of the Rose Bowl game, said that TCU's performance against Utah sent a message in the BCS.

The Mountain West Conference foes are both undefeated on the season and are looking to move their way up the BCS ranking with a win this weekend. TCU is 9-0 and Utah is 8-0.

The Frogs face a tough challenge

Published Nov 5, 2010

After rolling over UNLV 48-6 last week, the Horned Frogs face their toughest challenge this season in unbeaten Utah. The Utes jumped to No. 5 in the BCS standings after defeating Air Force, 28-23. This sets up the first Top-10 matchup in Mountain West Conference history. The team that wins this game will have the opportunity to play in a BCS game and possibly the national championship. The loser will have to struggle to make up ground in the standings and will most likely not make it to a BCS game.

The goverment should not build sports stadiums

Published Nov 5, 2010

One thing I hate about studying economics is that it makes it so easy for you to become a killjoy. While I do enjoy taking down a protectionist or arguing with someone about why minimum wage laws hurt the poor, there are some things even I wish weren't true.

Take sports stadiums, for example. I love sports and am a big fan of my hometown teams, but I can't help but think that building a big stadium is a bad idea for economic progress.
