Students have chance to witness historic upset against No. 7 BYU

Published Feb 17, 2011

TCU's Saturday home matchup against nationally ranked Brigham Young University has officially been declared a sellout.

As fans and students wait to fill the stands in Daniel-Meyer Coliseum, the Horned Frogs will have to accept the competition the Cougars have to offer.

Does the 10-17 TCU team, with only a single win in conference play (11 losses) really have a shot to prevail against 24-2 BYU, who conversely has a single loss in conference play? Anything can happen any given night, but the Frogs are the underdogs in this matchup.

‘Guitar Hero’ will not be soon forgotten

Published Feb 17, 2011

"Guitar Hero" will be no more, according to an announcement by Activision Blizzard on Feb. 9. It came following Viacom's decision to sell its own unit that created the "Rock Band" video games.

The game, created by RedOctane in collaboration with Harmonix Music Systems, Inc. studio, made its world debut in 2005.

It quickly gained popularity, and it's not hard to guess why. Ordinary people could feel like they were masters of guitar. Those of us who are tone deaf could actually play music that sounded like music.

Issues with Enright?s column

Published Feb 17, 2011

I'm a student here at TCU and read the Skiff on an almost daily basis. Wednesday morning I was surprised, however, as I read through Jack Enright's article "Science behind evolution should be priority." I am a Christian, and while I see some valid points made by Enright, I also had some serious issues with his argument.

To say that teaching creationism is unconstitutional is accurate enough, even though that law is a whole separate issue of itself. Regardless, that was a reasonable excuse for promoting creationism as the only option for high schools.
