TCU EASTbound

TCU shocked the college football world by bolting to the Big East this week. As a TCU fan I think it's a great thing for the Frogs and the Big East! As a college football fan i feel sorry for the Mountain West and NCAAF.

The Mountain West will lose Utah and BYU after this season and TCU after next. That's a big hit. Unlike the Big 12 the Mountain West went out and did something about it and replaced the schools that left. The Mountain West lost the University of Utah and BYU but has replaced them with Boise State, Fresno State, and Nevada. Now you have a pretty strong conference but wait TCU bolts! WTH?

Could you imagine TCU and Boise in the same conference? That could develop into one hell of a rivalry. Then you add an up and coming program like the Nevada Wolfpack and a decent program like Fresno you are building a nice base. You can argue this conference of misfits would be stronger then the Big East,ACC or even the Big 10. Yet they will not get an automatic BCS Bowl bid and because of that TCU left.

What Could of Been
Mountain West North
Boise
Nevada
Utah
BYU
Wyoming
Colorado State

MW South
TCU
Air Force
San Diego State
New Mexico
UNLV
Fresno State

and a Mountain West Championship Game





However that's all what could of been. The reality is TCU made a great move for them! This move also really strengthens the Big East Football schedule also. So TCU and Big East both win! Even though they left the Mountain West out in the cold they had to. If they ever want to play for a national title this is the only way.

Now TCU will be playing in front of the biased East Coast Media every week. They won't be a little red headed step child along with Boise State. They won't be that cute little school that went undefeated. The rest of the nation is going to find out what us Fort Worth peeps already know which is the TCU Frogs are contenders.

Let me take a shot at the mighty Texas Longhorns. Shame on you! You greedy bastards! You made sure you got paid and to hell with the Big 12! You should of been begging the Big 12 to add TCU which TCU would of jumped at but you didn't.Your Longhorn's attitude was let's keep the conference small so we can make an extra 5 million a year. Then Karma bit you in the ass didn't she? What Bowl are the Longhorns going to again? Oh wait......


TCU's move good for them! Great for the Big East! Bad for college football overall:(
