Just in time for Real World Integrated Marketing Communications' first anniversary, a new hire will bring years of expertise to the agency. TCU's student-managed marketing communications and public relations agency has hired a 13-year veteran as copy chief.

Real World now has Margaret Ritsch as one of two advisers to the agency. The agency provides students the opportunity to work on promotional campaigns for nonprofit organizations.

Student Government Association approved a resolution Tuesday to consider the use of ID cards at TCU sporting events. The resolution was passed unanimously after it was presented at the weekly house meeting.

According to Bill 94-2, SGA representatives support the use of student ID cards at all sporting events, and rather than having the money go on send home, the representatives propose to have the money taken directly from each student's individual meal plan.

Other points discussed included:

As a true freshman, Aaron Brown rushed for 163 yards on 17 carries in a nationally televised game against the University of Utah Utes, officially bursting into the Horned Frog scene.Two years later, Brown, now a junior, will begin his second year as TCU's featured running back, and is no longer in need of an introduction.

Last season, Brown led the team in rushing with 801 yards and finished first in the Mountain West Conference with nine rushing touchdowns. He also averaged an impressive 5.2 yards per carry.

Losing a starting quarterback is bad. Losing a starting quarterback who helped lead a team to a 19-2 record during his tenure as a starter is worse.Head coach Gary Patterson saw this situation develop with the graduation of Jeff Ballard.

After an open competition that spanned from spring practices up until a couple of weeks ago, Patterson named redshirt freshman Andy Dalton as the starter for Saturday's season opener against Baylor University. The thought of Dalton not having taken a snap at the college level isn't forcing Patterson to lose sleep, he said.

Game days releasedAs the schedule was released for the 2007-2008 men's basketball season, non-conference games against three Big 12 opponents highlight this year's string of games.

Perhaps the year's most notable game comes Jan. 2 when the team travels to Austin for a 7 p.m. game with the University of Texas Longhorns.

The team will also have back-to-back meetings with the Texas Tech University Red Raiders and the Oklahoma University Sooners.

The wait is almost over. The NFL regular season is six days away, so prepare your speed dials for that Tuesday morning post-game smack talk.Last week, we looked at quarterbacks and running backs - the bread and butter of most fantasy teams. With passing games gaining consistency around the league, wide receivers are becoming as pivotal as ever in fantasy football.

Ask anyone who had the good fortune to take advantage of Marques Colston as a tight end last year how important having a break out tight end can be to title hopes.

School policy changed this year to make it mandatory that all freshmen and sophomores live on campus. However, some freshmen and sophomores that live within a 35-mile radius are allowed to stay at home. These students may wish to live on campus but cannot for financial or family reasons. Commuters in their first two years of college often deal with the hardships of finding a parking spot, making time between school and going home to spend time with friends.

A mostly empty stadium watched the football team, drenched from the sweltering day's work, finish their mock game Saturday then gathered with hands raised in true Horned Frog tradition for the school song.At the song's conclusion, someone in the crowd vehemently yelled, "Go Baylor!"

The adversarial screech underscored how few TCU faithful came out to support the team during "Meet the Frogs."

The attendance is only an epilogue to the fact that outside of last year's game against Texas Tech, TCU hasn't had a sell-out crowd at Amon Carter Stadium since 1984.
