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.

The No. 1 ranked TCU baseball team officially opens its 2011 campaign this weekend with a home series against Kansas.

A lot of hype surrounds the start to this season for the Frogs, ranked high in the polls and with expectations for a return to Omaha for a second consecutive College World Series appearance.

Head baseball coach Jim Schlossnagle said there is a lot of excitement from last year's run, but also some disappointment from not being able to win it all. The players and coaches don't pay attention to the rankings but rather focus on preparing for each game.

‘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.

Prayer a part of the playbook

Published Feb 16, 2011

When a football player points his finger to the sky after running into the end zone or quickly kneels down to give a quick "thank you," there might be more to these faithful gestures than most fans think.

Faith and football can absolutely go hand in hand, and TCU football is no different, said the Rev. Chauncey Franks, who serves as the TCU football team's life and character coach.

Franks, a Fellowship of Christian Athletes chaplain, said faith is a great thing to have on and off the field to motivate and bring a sense of unity to the team.

Sign me up for Quidditch

Published Feb 16, 2011

The first time I ever picked up a "Harry Potter" book was in fourth grade. It was library day for my class, and I had finished the series I'd been reading and needed something new.

Although I'd never heard of it before, I loved it from the moment I opened to page one of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone." I became the mega-fan: the girl who can quote whole chapters of the books and act out each movie without breaking a sweat. Imagine my joy when I was first told about Quidditch at TCU.
