Lady Frogs MWC Champions with undefeated home record

Published Mar 3, 2010

The Lady Frogs can now call themselves Mountain West Conference Champions. TCU (22-6; 12-3 MWC) boasts an undefeated home record after defeating the University of New Mexico Lobos 66-54 Tuesday night.

The TCU squad prevented the Lobos from scoring during the first six minutes of play, but New Mexico acquired a one point edge only two minutes later.



New Mexico's 6-foot-6 senior center Valerie Kast replaced starting junior forward Jessica Kielpinski after a hard hit to the face early in the first half. Kast provided size that was difficult to defend.

Published Mar 3, 2010

Fresh off their Saturday night win over Colorado State, the Horned Frogs are facing a schedule that will make it hard to close out the season as a showdown against No. 8 New Mexico on Wednesday night in Albuquerque looms large.

The then-No. 23 Lobos defeated the Horned Frogs (13-16, 5-9 Mountain West) in Fort Worth in January, 73-57. New Mexico (27-3, 13-2 MWC) is currently ranked first in the conference and defeated No. 14 BYU on Saturday, 83-81.

Baseball team defeats Roadrunners 17-12

Published Mar 3, 2010

Sophomore Jason Coats knocked in a career high 7 RBIs as the No. 7 Horned Frog Baseball Team defeated the UT-San Antonio Roadrunners in a slugfest Tuesday night, 17 - 12, at Lupton Stadium.

On a night that hit as low as 42 degrees, Coats went 3 for 5 including one homerun and a double. The Frogs scored in all but one inning. Every Frog in the starting line up got at least one hit and scored a run.



Despite two errors that cost two runs and the TCU pitching giving up two big innings, the Frogs' offense was able to pick up more than enough runs to get the win.

Hutchison concedes to Perry

Published Mar 3, 2010

Though Republican gubernatorial candidate Kay Bailey Hutchison conceded the Republican primary to Gov. Rick Perry Tuesday night, they were only four votes apart at local voting site Paschal High School with Hutchison at the lead.

According to the Associated Press, as of 10:52 p.m., statewide, Perry had 51 percent of the vote while Hutchison had 31 percent. Republican Debra Medina had close to 20 percent of the vote.



Perry will face Democrat and former Houston Mayor Bill White, who clinched the Democratic nomination.

Jerry Hughes has a bright future ahead

Published Mar 3, 2010

Former TCU defensive end Jerry Hughes is known for his chameleon-like ability in football, and is proving it at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis. Hughes easily transitioned from high school running back to college defensive end, and now rumors are flying that he may play outside linebacker in the National Football League.

I think this would be a wise decision, considering his just under 6-foot-3-inch, 255-pound frame. He is big enough to push the opposing offense around, but quick enough to be hard to block.

Violence toward the public doesn’t justify anger toward the government

Published Mar 2, 2010

What a terrifying experience it must have been. Sitting in one's office, doing what can only be imagined as extremely tedious work, when suddenly a loud burst, followed by silence and then chaos as fire and debris envelop you. The government building in which you work has been attacked because of what it represents, something that some have come to see as an over-arching and overly intrusive force in society. The incidence of which I am speaking is not the recent airplane attack on the IRS building, but a similar attack that occurred 15 years ago in Oklahoma City.
