Pinch Hits 11/29

TCU: Congratulations TCU! On Monday the Horned Frogs became the newest member of the Big East Conference. In one word "Brilliant". TCU is now an official member of BCS Conference, keep your laughs to yourself. We all know that the Big East is dreadful in Football especially this season with UCONN one win away from an automatic berth to either the Orange Bowl or Fiesta Bowl. But TCU did what it had to, they will no longer put themselves in the NON-AQ category with Boise State. TCU now assures itself that if they do finish in the Top 2 they will have a chance at the National Championship. The loser out of this is Boise State, the Broncos will go to the Moutain West Conference after this season but who will be left. Utah leaves for the Pac-10, BYU goes independent and in 2012 TCU goes to the Big East. What is left for the Broncos will be basically the WAC. The Broncos will be in the same situation they are in now for years to come. TCU made a great decision for their football program I wish we could same the same about Boise State.

NFL: Normally NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell is very on top of things when it comes to suspensions but I think he dropped the ball with Andre Johnson and Courtland Finnegan. If you missed it what rock have you been under? These two went UFC on the field Sunday afternoon. Finnegan of the Titans chucked Andre Johnson of the Texans in the face and that led to pushing and shoving that extended to both helments being thrown off and punches thrown. Andre Johnson landed three haymakers on Finnegan when he was thrown to the ground. By not suspending these two players the NFL is setting a standard of fighting during games. The league has been known as a zero tolerance league yet a star receiver is involved in fist a cuffs and nothing is done but a fine. Should fans expect fights like these to continue to happen? I think the league is saying these situations are tolerable without suspension. This is a bad street that league is going down, hopefully it does not come back to bite them.
