Coming off a big win over the Oklahoma Sooners, the Horned Frog football team looks to add another victory when it plays long time rival SMU for the Iron Skillet on Saturday.TCU has won the past six games played between the two teams by an average of 27 points. That includes the 44-0 blowout in 2004, the biggest loss for SMU head football coach Phil Bennett last season.

Despite TCU's winning streak, head football coach Gary Patterson said he prepares for this game as hard as he does any other game on the schedule.

From its location to its staff, the Gunsmoke Grill and Saloon was a four-star restaurant waiting to happen.Owner April Simpson graduated college with a degree in marine biology, but general manager Jude Ross said Simpson runs the restaurant as if she had been in the business her entire life.

When Simpson opened the restaurant, Ross said, location was key.

"April wanted to bring a little class to the neighborhood," Ross said. "She wanted to bring a little bit of downtown to this side of Fort Worth."

As we come to the end of the first full week of September, it is safe to say the campus is buzzing with activity - and stress.At least for Skiff employees, but likely for many other people, there has been a barage of class work, planning for student organizations and, now, organizing help for Hurricane Katrina victims.

Excitement abounded when our very own Horned Frogs took down those Oklahoma Sooners.

Oh, did we mention there was a Student Government Association election?

To all members of the TCU Horned Frog football team - congratulations. Despite my faith and confidence in each of you, the results of Saturday's game still amaze me. I know your hard work and diligence will continue to benefit you in the coming season. I look forward to watching you on the field.I've never been more proud to be a Horned Frog. In a stadium of 82,000, the TCU Fight Song and Riff Ram were heard over the chaos in Norman, Okla. Who knew that a mere 2,500 TCU fans could have such a strong presence?

The soccer team will play Boston University and Northwestern State in the Horned Frog Classic tournament this weekend at Garvey-Rosenthal Stadium.Players said they do not know much about the other teams because they have never played them and do not watch videos of opponents.

"We don't ever focus that much on the opponent," senior midfielder Moran Lavi said. "We watch and learn from ourselves."

Head coach Dan Abdalla said he also does not know much about the competition, but said Boston traditionally has a good team.

I'm sure you have all been following the disaster news from New Orleans. I have watched and read everything I could and have come away in despair, confusion, comparing it to Sept. 9/11, sensing the differences and the similarities, struggling with the enormity of the losses, angry at times, and looking for signs of hope and recovery. Of course, my sociological brain also constantly processes the issues of race, class, politics and family dynamics. My husband Charles and I rolled up our sleeves on Saturday and went to work buying and hauling supplies to local shelters.
