Between all the debate and uproar about the coming cuts in the Texas budget, there have been plenty of objections when it comes to slashing the education budget. Young teachers are being laid off left...

Former TCU wide receiver Bart Johnson was a sneaky kind of football player 8212; and not in a bad way. I'm not sure if he intended to be, but he sure seemed to do a lot of it during his four-year career with the Frogs.

First, he snuck past college recruiters in high school. His only Division I football offer was from Harvard. Johnson opted to be a walk-on wide receiver for the TCU scout team.

Then, he snuck past the scout team and depth chart, and found himself as a starter for a top 25 FBS football program.

As opening day for Major League Baseball looms closer, don't crown the Philadelphia Phillies as the National League pennant winner just yet. Last year's World Series champion San Francisco Giants are in a good position to make another World Series run, while the NL Central should be an exciting divisional race down to game 162 of the regular season.

Here's a full breakdown of the NL's divisional races:

When I read the Star-Telegram headline from a March 15 story, "Paddling in school is subject of House hearing," I was certain I had read it wrong. Paddling is illegal, I confidently decreed. But, to my shock, corporal punishment is still condoned in the Texas public education system.

I always thought scare-tactic disciplinary action such as paddling and knuckle-rapping were archaic, exaggerated things of the past. But the aforementioned article proved that assumption wholly incorrect.

The TCU men's golf team tied for fourth place at the National Invitational Tournament played at OMNI Tucson National Golf Club in Tucson, Ariz.

The Horned Frogs combined to play 4-under par golf during Tuesday's final round for a 284-stroke total, which was the second-lowest score among the 15-squad field. TCU shared fourth place with No. 30 Indiana while finishing 17 strokes behind the tournament champion, No. 46 Tulsa (+11). The final round was played on the par-72, 7,245-yard Catalina Course.

Everybody isn't doing it, but the majority is.

At least that's what it appears to be from the results of a Pew Research Center study conducted during the 2010 midterm elections. According to the study, 73 percent of adult Internet users went online in 2010 to get news or information about the 2010 midterm elections or to get involved in the campaign in some way.

The Internet has revolutionized political activity in a positive way by giving the common person access to everything from campaign progress to donation possibilities to fact-checking.

The TCU women's tennis team stretched its win streak to three matches after a 5-2 win over UT-Arlington at the UTA Tennis Center. The Frogs improved their season mark to 5-6. The 59th-ranked Mavericks...

"Take Me Out to the Ball Game" isn't the only song Horned Frog fans hear at Lupton Stadium during a baseball game.

Walk-up songs in baseball have become an important aspect of the game and vary in genres from hip-hop to rock to country.

Senior pitcher Steven Maxwell said he chose the punk rock song "Firestarter" by the English band Prodigy. He said he decided to keep his song from last year because he had a good season.

"It's kind of a random song but it really gets me pumped up," Maxwell said.
