The Horned Frogs will face several matchups that are very similar to last year's with six common non-conference opponents.

After the Nov. 13 home opener against Mid-American Christian, the team will go to Tempe, Ariz., for the opening round of the Preseason NIT. The Frogs will face Cal State Northridge in the first round.



Northridge advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2009 after a 17-14 season and returns three starters. The winner will go on to face the winner of Arizona State-Texas State.

The No. 6 ranked Horned Frogs are looking to keep their hopes at a Bowl Championship Series bowl game alive as they prepare for a tough ball game on the road this week against San Diego State University.

"On defense they're tough, resilient, and on offense they don't stop coming at you," said head coach Gary Patterson.



Patterson stressed the importance of his team not looking ahead to the Utah game and remaining focused on a 4-4 San Diego State team that is on a two-game win streak and is still competing for a berth in this year's Poinsettia Bowl.

‘Black out’ event causes conflict with ‘pink out’ supporters

Published Nov 5, 2009

A Facebook event urging students to wear all-black to the Nov. 14 football game against the University of Utah - TCU's Pink Out game in support of breast cancer research - has generated debate on campus about what is the appropriate way to show school spirit.

Logan Luzzo, a freshman pre-business major, said he and a few friends decided to create the event in response to recent criticism concerning poor student attendance at home football games. As part of the "blackout," attendees would wear black shirts or pants as a sign of unity and intimidation in the spirit of competition.

Non-athletic events deserve attention too

Published Nov 5, 2009

Student attendance at athletic events is generally less than the athletes strive for, and for the number of hours they put in they deserve more people there.

Well, I'm guilty as charged. I've never been to a single basketball, volleyball, baseball or soccer game. In fact, I've only ever been to football games, which I enjoy very much. All student athletes work very hard and deserve a good crowd to see the culmination of their work.

I believe the words "eloquent" and "Obama" are synonymous. Whether you love President Barack Obama or despise him, I think we can all agree that he is an excellent, engaging orator. During his campaign, Obama's speeches and messages incited passion and hope in many of the most pessimistic Americans. Now, nearly a year into his presidency, it is obvious Obama has encountered some substantial roadblocks and is taking some hits in the popularity department. He needs to reignite the passion of his campaign.

Teens doing more to help pay for college study shows

University graduate student Mary Cassaro said her parents taught her the importance of smart saving skills early on. Around age 12, years before higher education was on her mind, she said money earned from the occasional baby-sitting job allowed her to begin a bank account of her own.

"I think that when emergency situations did come it was nice that (the money) was there," Cassaro said. "It was a last resort kind of thing, but it has helped with everything."
