TCU demonstrated utter dominance and confidence against Wyoming

TCU demonstrated utter dominance and confidence against Wyoming

Published Oct 13, 2010

Last week I wrote a fairly critical article of the Horned Frogs football team. In that article, I argued that the Frogs needed to start showcasing their talent against weak teams, as opposed to merely chalking another mark in the win column. After TCU's 45-0 rout of Wyoming, I am convinced that head coach Gary Patterson reads and abides to my opinion. This has stoked and inflated my ego.

Regardless of whether the coaching staff actually reads my critique or not, TCU did what they needed to on Saturday.

Injustice continues to plague North Korea

Published Oct 13, 2010

Martin Luther King Jr. once said injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. For more than 60 years, a great injustice has plagued the nation of North Korea, and the cries of its citizens have gone almost totally unheard abroad. Since the mid-1990s, an estimated two million people have died from malnutrition. The recent transfer of power from Kim Jong-il to his son, Kim Jong-un, should be a reminder of the atrocities committed by the North Korean government and a call to action against it.

The Dallas Cowboys are my team. There's just no other way around it. It's my favorite team and has been so ever since I was a little boy watching the games on my father's lap. I irrationally love and root for the Cowboys, even though I've never met any of the players, coaches or members of the organization. Every season, I dream of the Cowboys winning the Super Bowl, no matter how distant those odds are, and defend every player on the team, even though I have no personal connection to them.

Official: Minority students make up 20 percent of the student body for last three incoming classes

Published Oct 7, 2010

Though the percentage of minority students in incoming classes has stayed the same for the past three years, there are still more minority students coming to the university because of the increase of the overall size of freshman classes, the dean of admissions said.

Ray Brown, dean of admissions, said the increase in total minority students does not show in the overall percentage because the overall class size is growing as well. Minority students have made up 20 percent of the student body for last three incoming classes.

Horned Frogs up against Wyoming Cowboys Saturday

Published Oct 7, 2010

The No. 5 ranked Horned Frogs take on the Wyoming Cowboys at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday at Amon G. Carter Stadium for their second conference game of the season.

Wyoming is coming off blowout losses to then fifth-ranked Texas, third-ranked Boise State and a heartbreaking fourth-quarter defeat against No. 25 Air Force.

The Cowboys are without freshman linebacker Ruben Narcisse, who died in a tragic car accident earlier this season. Wyoming head coach Dave Christensen said the Cowboys are planning to wear a helmet decal with Narcisse's initials for the remainder of the season.

Understanding, education key to religious discussions

Published Oct 7, 2010

An article in The New York Times titled "Basic Religion Test Stumps Many Americans," noted that "Americans are by all measures a deeply religious people, but they are also deeply ignorant about religion."

To understand and have an informed opinion on many current events, one must know the basics about different religions. To be able to have a stance on a subject and have plausible feelings toward it, one must be educated in what drives it to happen.
