Fort Worth Mayor Mike Moncrief said he supports the university's football program and encouraged city residents and employers to show their pride this Friday as part of the first-ever "Go Purple Day."

I hear them silver bells ringing, and the bright snow's glistening shroud can be seen on the distant horizon. That's right, the Christmas holiday nexus has arrived. This, of course, includes all wintry festivities from tacky sweater parties to all additional excuses to drink eggnog, and believe me, they are plenty. But alas, along with this glorious arrival comes the derogatory remarks that by hosting such other secular activities in the name of this religious holiday, we are in fact demeaning its true value. I argue not so.

This week has seen a whirlwind of zero productivity, anticipation and excitement tied up in a nice little bow of yet more preoccupation in anything other than school or office work. The only problem Frog fans face this week is which one of the many headlines to follow first? So as you sit in class or in a cubicle, taking in as much Frog news as possible on your computer while tuning out everything going on outside your purple blinders, allow me to untangle the web of jubilant mayhem that surrounds Fort Worth before the showdown in Cowtown.

Most of the time when a husband cheats on his wife, he might get kicked to the curb and served divorce papers. That would have been a fortunate outcome for Abas Hussein Abdirahman, a 33-year-old Somali man who was publicly stoned to death this week for adultery. His pregnant girlfriend will be stoned also once her child is born, and the child will be given to relatives, according to USA Today.

The Horned Frogs' football game against Utah has completely sold out Amon G. Carter Stadium for the first time since 2006, when the Horned Frogs played Texas Tech.

Although the university box office has sold out of tickets, they are still available on ticket broker Web sites such as Texas Tickets and StubHub, ranging in price from $85 to $500 each as of Tuesday evening.

Craig Baima, Texas Tickets in Arlington spokesman, said that once the most recent football rating was released, the store began getting a lot of calls for tickets.
