An award-winning trio of Horned Frogs that comprises quarterback Andy Dalton, center Jake Kirkpatrick and wide receiver Jeremy Kerley will play in the 2011 Under Armour Senior Bowl this Saturday.

The Senior Bowl is an annual game that showcases the nation's top senior collegiate players. It is one of the last chances for players to demonstrate their talents before the NFL draft in April.

TCU athletics director Chris Del Conte isn't often at a loss for words. The second half of my Tuesday sit-down with Del Conte touched on TCU's move to the Big East, the Pittsburgh Steelers' scheduled practices on campus and even the athletic director's favorite childhood sports teams.

Here is part two of the Q&A:

Q: Where are you in terms of rescheduling a non-conference game after Texas Tech backed out?

The Board of Trustees and the university have been discussing renovating the Greek houses on campus. Craig Allen, director of Housing & Residence Life, said the proposed plans include a common area for students as well as a new dining room. Allen also said a project of this size would take three to five years to complete.

Whatever the final design is, for the sake of the students at TCU, let's hope the school will have a well thought-out plan for construction that ensures on-campus housing for students without sacrificing several more parking spaces.

The first and only conference matchup between TCU and Boise State, originally slotted to be a home game for TCU, will now be played at Boise's Bronco Stadium, according to a press release from The Mountain West Conference's Board of Directors.

The game was originally scheduled to play at Amon G. Carter Stadium for the 2011 football season.

The MWC said it approved the recommendations from the conference's athletic directors on the grounds that it would address current and future scheduling issues caused by shifts in MWC membership.

The Cassata High School library will be converted to the Phil Record Media Resource Center this summer in memoriam of former TCU journalism professor Phil Record, Cassata administrators said.

Cassata principal Nancy Martin said Record was an active board member at the school for several years and had helped the school in many areas.

"Phil touched so many people," Martin said. "There is such an outpouring from his life of people wanting to do something to honor his memory."

The TCU Horned Frogs will face conference opponent New Mexico today in Albuquerque at the Lobos' University Arena, known as The Pit, at 9 p.m. Both teams enter to contest with a three-game losing streak...

Award-winning Café Brazil will open its first Tarrant County restaurant in place of Los Vaqueros, beneath the GrandMarc.

Brant Wood, CEO of Café Brazil, said there are 10 locations around Dallas, and he felt the restaurant's 24/7 concept is perfect for college students.

"We are known in the business for taking over failed restaurant space and converting it into a Café Brazil and being successful doing that," Wood said.

It may seem counterproductive to ask college students to watch President Barack Obama's State of the Union address tonight considering the state of the job market.

But whether students are into politics or not, watching the address is one of the easiest ways to stay up to date with our most pressing issues.

In a representative democracy, our personal contribution is our vote. By taking the time to access information to which we have a right, we can better dictate where our vote would be best used.
