The No. 3 TCU Horned Frogs secured at least a Rose Bowl berth with their 66-17 win over New Mexico Saturday while also clinching their second consecutive undefeated regular season and Mountain West Conference title.

Coupled with a 34-31 overtime loss by then-No. 4 Boise State to then-No. 19 Nevada Friday night, the Frogs' path to a BCS bowl became clearer without the Broncos threatening to jump TCU (12-0, 8-0 MWC) in the standings.

Dedication to the art of music is demonstrated to perfection in the form of indie folk band Bon Iver. Their album, titled "For Emma, Forever Ago," was based on inspiration found by lead singer Justin Vernon during a period in which he isolated himself in remote woods in Wisconsin.

The alleged purpose of this isolation was to recover from personal issues and agonies, including, but not limited to, breaking up with a girlfriend and a former band. Whether or not you enjoy their music, it is impossible not to admire dedication like that.

According to sources such as ESPN and the Honolulu Star-Advertiser, the University of Hawaii is in the finalizing stages of having its football team join the Mountain West Conference for the 2012 season. Oh my poor, conflicted soul.

Being born and raised in Hawaii, I've been a Warriors fan for the past 18 years. I have fond memories of covering them on the sidelines as a intern for KHON2 News in Honolulu, and I vividly remember the 2007 campaign, led by Colt Brennan, that sent Hawaii to its first BCS game. I rejoice at the move that will showcase and exemplify UH's talent.
