The Horned Frogs never led in Saturday night's 69-52 conference loss against the University of New Mexico Lobos.

The team came into the game in first place in the Mountain West Conference, but is now left wondering how to correct the mistakes that led to New Mexico's convincing win.

"This is a team that's been very, very hot, and we come in here and I thought, for forty minutes, did a lot of good things against them," said New Mexico head coach Steve Alford.

Congratulations to the men's basketball team and head coach Jim Christian for their successful season so far.

With Wednesday night's win over the University of Wyoming, the Horned Frogs now sit alone atop the Mountain West Conference.

Christian has quickly turned his team into a winner. The Horned Frogs are off to a 13-6 record and have gone 4-1 in conference play, their best conference start ever.

No one expected much from this year's team, coming off a 14-16 season that culminated with the firing of former head coach Neil Dougherty.

The Internal Revenue Service's recent investigation of colleges and universities should not have an effect on TCU, a university official said.Brian Gutierrez, vice chancellor for finance and administration,...

Tuesday was not all about President Barack Obama, not even close.

It was not about the end of the reign of Bush the Terrible, a hymn sung by many liberals.

It was not about the approximately $170 million spent, nor the president interrupting Chief Justice Roberts, nor the chief justice completely fumbling the oath of office.

It was about something much greater than all the players involved. Regardless of whether the inauguration cost $170 million or $17, it was a celebration of American democracy above all else.

A proposed sports broadcasting major in the radio-TV-film department stands a chance to become part of the fall 2009 class lineup, a university instructor said.

The major will teach students sports video production in coordination with the athletic department, said Charles LaMendola, an instructor in the RTVF department and the main professor behind the sports broadcasting movement.

After a protracted debate concerning a proposed on-campus drilling site that involved the city of Fort Worth, Chesapeake Energy, neighborhood and university officials, Chesapeake finally unveiled a plan that - for now - looks like it will satisfy all parties.

The "Meerkat to Seminary Plan" would allow Chesapeake to produce the minerals of some 5,000 acres, including those belonging to the university, a company spokeswoman said.

The number of students who are able to pay their school bills has not declined despite the economic recession and a national survey that shows otherwise, a university official said.

An e-mail survey conducted by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers reported that more than 65 percent of the 43 college registrars who responded said they had noticed an increase in unpaid bills this year, but financial officials have yet to see the trend at TCU.

Chesapeake Energy Corp. unveiled a comprehensive master development plan that could potentially produce the minerals under campus and several neighborhoods without a well on campus, according to a news release issued Friday.

The master plan, called the "Meerkat Mounds to Seminary" plan, proposes a means for the university to lease the minerals under campus while averting the problems associated with the former drill site, according to the news release.

If the economy doesn't dramatically improve in the next two to three years, President Barack Obama could very well be a one-term president.

Just days after he assumes power, there is no doubt that the economy will be Obama's greatest domestic and political challenge.

It will greatly define not only his presidency, but his legacy.

Obama is inheriting a wide spectrum of weak economic figures including steep unemployment, a credit crisis, and a dismal housing market. All of which require his immediate attention.
