Satire: Human meat a healthy alternative

Satire: Human meat a healthy alternative

Published Sep 23, 2009

It's hard to defend something so barbaric as eating another human being. It seems so animalistic and improper, but desperate times call for desperate measures. Eating another person as a last resort is a legitimate option.

The only time most people take the prospect of human-on-human eating into consideration is when they are preparing for an upcoming zombie uprising, which is inevitable. Until then, these decisions are left to the living and those who are not light-hearted with weak stomachs.

Satire: Consider health risks of eating human meat

Satire: Consider health risks of eating human meat

Published Sep 23, 2009

Human meat is very tasty. The variety of breeds and numerous recipes that are out there like Toe Stew, BBQ Shoulder Blades, or Belly Button Shish Kabobs (which go stupendously with guacamole salad I might add) make it a great selection to feed highly-esteemed guests. I also understand the abundance factor since human meat can now be found on every corner, under every rock and in between every crack on earth. But I've decided to take a stand against cannibalism for one reason: indigestion.

Patterson likes wins but wants improvement

Patterson likes wins but wants improvement

Published Sep 23, 2009

The Saturday game with Texas State did not go perfectly despite the football team's victory, head coach Gary Patterson said Tuesday at the third media luncheon.

"I'm glad we won the ball game," Patterson said. "It wasn't as pretty as we wanted it to be. We made some mistakes. But the important thing is we're still making mistakes and winning."



Patterson said the freshmen and redshirt freshmen continued to impress this past weekend. There were between 12 and 15 of them playing again, and several made key plays.

Frogs need to come together for Clemson

Published Sep 22, 2009

Let me start off by saying Texas State is a good offensive team. There is no doubt about that. But on several occasions, this "lowly" FCS team made the mighty Frogs' defensive secondary look just plain silly. What was, despite what any coach will say, scheduled as a tune up game for Clemson turned out to be quite the challenge for the Frogs.

The Frogs' secondary better step up and make the adjustments needed for good coverage, or TCU doesn't stand a chance against a good Tiger offense this Saturday.

September is Gynecologic Cancer Awareness Month and the university is responding by holding the event at 6 p.m. in the Kelly Alumni Center.

Frogs look to work on last week’s mistakes for this Saturday’s game

Published Sep 22, 2009

The Frogs will have a tough test this weekend when they travel to Death Valley to play Clemson after a 56 to 21 victory over FCS opponent Texas State.

Head coach Gary Patterson said he was not happy with the team's performance against Texas State, and that the team will need to improve on some issues before it plays Clemson.



"We've got to be smarter about things," Patterson said. "We won't be able to push around Clemson. We can't make mistakes in the kicking game and can't turn the ball over."

Television director falls ill, postpones visit to university

Published Sep 22, 2009

Rod Hardy, the film-TV-digital media department's Green Chair Lecturer, postponed his visit to the university this week to Oct. 6-9 because he fell ill, a representative for the FTDM department said.

Gregory Mansur, a FTDM instructor who helped organize the event, said Hardy's visit was moved because he contracted the flu in Mexico while filming scenes for "The Mentalist." Mansur said Hardy did not want to risk further infections by interacting with students.
