Editor's Note: The Daily Skiff was not allowed to interview the coach or players after the game.The volleyball team did not let its undefeated record at home go down easily Wednesday, but a Big 12 opponent proved to be too much for the Horned Frogs.

The team lost a five-game match to the Oklahoma Sooners (31-29, 25-30, 30-18, 27-30, 15-17) - a match that went down to the final point.

With both teams coming off back-to-back loses, the Frogs drop to 15-5, while the Sooners improve to 13-4.

It's not quite the Red River Rivalry, but at least one Oklahoma Sooners volleyball player said she will be confident when the Sooners visit Fort Worth tonight.The 15-4 Horned Frogs welcome a 12-3 Oklahoma team for a 7 p.m. non-conference match at the University Recreation Center.

Oklahoma senior outside hitter Mariana Blum said the Sooners are a good team and it's important it doesn't drop consecutive matches.

"I'm sure we're going to win tomorrow and get back on the rollercoaster of winning games," Blum said.

Executive Student Government Association candidates will be able to spend an extra $300 on their campaigns in November after the House passed a bill Tuesday, 27-14, to extend campaign expenses in the Student Body Code. Kelly Barnes, sophomore class representative, proposed the bill and said the motivation for the legislation was fueled by the low voter turnout last year and the lack of advertisement options for less than $200.

A rejuvenated TCU offense will get its first crack at a renowned defense when it takes on one of the nation's best units - Wyoming. Despite the University of Wyoming's strong defense, the Frogs look to be the favorite. Here are the probable starters for Saturday's game in Laramie, Wyo.

During the weekend, the National Hockey League kicked off the 2007-2008 regular season in London with a pair of games between the Los Angeles Kings and the Anaheim Ducks.My guess would be that only about 2 percent of Americans were aware these games were even occurring as the rest of the country hunkered down for a hearty weekend of college and professional football.

In January, NCAA officials will vote on a controversial proposal that, if passed, would allow commercial companies to use pictures or images of collegiate athletes to advertise their products. The specific players whose pictures are used would still not be allowed to endorse a product, and would still not be allowed to receive compensation.

Though colleges could receive compensation for the athletes featured, the players would have little control over how their images were used. As it seems, this is simply exploitation.
