It was a good run. Twelve victories in one season, a nationally-recognized team and a magnificent coach that ended the year and the decade with a bang. Sadly, the Horned Frog football team was bested by...

After a convincing win against conference rival Utah, No. 22 TCU, now 12-3 for the season, is looking to defeat a 10-4 Wyoming in Laramie tonight. The Lady Frogs hope to extend their seven-game win streak, which marks the fourth longest in program history, with a victory over the Cowgirls.

"The biggest challenge is that they're a good basketball team," said associate head coach Brian Ostermann. "Any time you're playing a good team on their floor, you have to overcome the challenges."

The glory days of flying are now over. Long gone are the days of beautiful, cheery flight attendants and bright-eyed, young pilots who earned their stripes in World War II or any other military conflict. The flight attendant job has been relegated to older women who look like one of the members of ZZ Top without the awesome beard. Pilots have turned into exhausted, worn out older men who always regale us with the weather at our destination in the same, monotonous pilot tone.

Fox sponsored a viewing party at Union Grounds for the first episode of the new season of American Idol.

Fox contacted Student Affairs to see if TCU was having a watching party, then selected the university to air live during the show.

Fox provided prizes such as blankets, sweatshirts, iTunes cards and a poster signed by the show's cast.

Student affairs leaders Kennedy Stewart and Emily Hensley organized the event, complete with the American Idol Nintendo Wii game set up for viewers to play during commercial breaks.

After three weeks of holiday comfort food and home cooking, the first stop on my list after I got back to TCU was the campus Rec Center. I was looking forward to finally snagging a great parking space with almost no competition.

Unfortunately, once I arrived at the site, I was greeted, not by a practically empty parking lot, but by a fenced-off mound of dirt and gravel.

I was even more chagrined to learn that the lot wasn't just temporarily closed for paving: it was being replaced with a new administration building.

For the past few years, TCU has been proactive in building and remodeling infrastructure. This helps maintain a campus that current students can be proud of and prospective students can admire. However,...

Aspiring graduate students planning to take the Graduate Record Exam or GRE in 2011 might take a new, reformatted version of the test featuring a new scoring system and changes in test content.

The Education Testing Service, the nonprofit institution that administers the GRE, announced its plans to change the test at a December meeting of the Council of Graduate Schools in San Francisco, according to an article by The New York Times. More than 600,000 graduate school hopefuls take the GRE each year.

The post-9/11 GI Bill has continued to increase the university's student veteran population this spring with 37 new student veterans using the bill, almost matching the 40 who started using the bill at the beginning of fall 2009, a university veteran affairs official said.

Stephanie Hules, veteran affairs officer, said university officials anticipated the increase this spring because the applications for the new GI Bill were available May 2009, but some veterans could not finish the paperwork in time to start in the fall.

The bulldozers are back.In December, the university broke ground on the construction of a new admissions building on the west side of campus, which will occupy a parking lot reserved for commuters.Don...
