As college football fans, we want our team to be No. 1. Last Friday, college football witnessed the takedown of a good football team in Boise State.

BSU had a legitimate shot at the national title if a few things bounced their way. Now after Nevada's 34-31 comeback against BSU, it's up to TCU to bring home the famed Coaches' Trophy.

Volleyball

The women's volleyball team ended its season Saturday with a 3-0 win against the University of South Florida.

Senior Irene Hester had a match-high of 16 kills, and senior Christy Hudson had 20 assists.

TCU finished the season with a 15-16 record.

Women's Basketball

The women's basketball team lost all three games at the 11th annual Paradise Jam in the U.S. Virgin Islands last weekend.

Name: Jerry Hughes

Position: Defensive end

Years Played at TCU: 2006-09

Current Team: Indianapolis Colts

The Colts, however, were attempting to come back during most of the second half and could not afford to rest their starters. Hughes should see more time going forward once Indianapolis' offense gets its swagger back.

"Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1" was a subtle letdown.

TCU announced Monday that all athletic teams will leave the Mountain West Conference to join the Big East Conference beginning July 1, 2012.

Monday morning, the TCU Board of Trustees unanimously voted to accept the Big East's offer to join the conference for a number of reasons, Chancellor Victor Boschini said.

"We have spent the entire morning...discussing the pros and cons in this decision, and we decided unanimously about the pros," Boschini said.

Boschini said the conference gives TCU a chance to excel not only athletically, but also academically.
