TCU Alum

A certain young girl named Mulgrew, told the punter as he withdrew, "That Dicker is quicker and slicker and quicker, And two inches longer than you."

Nah, not looking for approval, just addressing some misconceptions. Lots on here say that smaller schools can't compete, don't belong, yada yada. All we needed was a chance, and this seems to show that we can win, and people watch. With TV revenue and bowl game financial benefits, all I am saying is that TCU pulls its weight in the Big 12. Now, a question which I would really like answered, because I don't know the answer or the rationale. What does UT (and OU) expect out of moving to the SEC? If you look at the fortunes of Mizzou, Arkansas, and A&M, are they better off now? Is it all about money? The Big 12's new TV contract would make it seem like the schools will be well compensated, and if you look at travel costs for all sports, the destinations in the SEC are going to take more dollars to get there and back. Right now, you have the status of a big fish in a smaller pond, is that worse than being an average sized fish in a bigger pond? I also think about the average fan being able to follow the team. It is certainly easier for fans to travel to Waco, Fort Worth, and even Lubbock than to Florida, Alabama, and Georgia. Seriously, I want to know if you guys (and Nicole) think this is really a good decision?

Colorado opens the season next year in Fort Worth.

The malamute got ass raped by this crazy monkey. Who would have guessed that would happen?

Sonny was right.

Uh, yeah, well, no.

Seems like the highest attendance at DKR this year was TCU v UT. Over 100,000?

Agreed. They are pretty much Cincinnati last year. Nothing special at all. This "nothing special" team is the first Big 12 team to go 12-0 since the Longhorns did it in 2009. Someone was saying that no one will watch the Big 12 CCG but yet ESPN is going to bring College Gameday to Arlington this year rather than the other P5 CCGs. And as far as other stats which support national interest: Featured on ESPN College Gameday 3x (Kansas, Texas, Big 12 Championship) Featured on FOX Big Noon Saturday 2x (Tech, Baylor) Broadcast nationally on ABC or FOX 7x (OU, Oklahoma State, Tech, Texas, Baylor, Iowa State, Big 12 Championship) Faced 6 then-ranked Top 25 teams (OU, Kansas, Oklahoma State, K-State, Texas, and K-State) Played as a ranked team 9x (since KU) and played in games where both teams were ranked 5x (Kansas, Oklahoma State, K-State, Texas, and K-State/Texas) Been ranked in the CFP top 7 and discussed as a potential playoff team every week rankings were released. Getting rid of the stagnating coaching staff from the past 4-5 years and bringing in fresh blood and ideas has made a huge difference, and I really don't see that changing in the next few years to come.

Was really hoping K State would have a few d-backs tossed for targeting this half.

I've always thought your avatar looks a lot like Matt Rhule.

No kidding. But there is only one way I can think of for a guy to get the nickname "Booger."

Maybe he'll take the K-State job when Klieman goes to Nebraska.

Patterson hated Briles. Not sure he saw Baylor as anything more than another conference opponent.

One possibility is that Patterson's defenses have always been vulnerable to the fake punt. Perhaps he felt that TCU knew that and was wanting to stuff the punter before he either took off on a run or threw a pass.

I am not here to troll, but I can't let this one pass. Hiring Patterson would just be compounding your problems. Look at his record as a coach the past three years. The program was in a severe decline because he refused to bring in new coaches with fresh ideas and who could actually coach. Both of the last 2 ADs encouraged him to get rid of coaches who were underperforming. He refused and insisted on keeping his yes-men rather than firing them. Last year, the AD told him that his contract would not be renewed but asked him to finish out the season so as to not make him look bad, getting fired during the season. He threw a tantrum and quit on the spot. The college game has passed him by...Texas would be getting more of the same if he were your head coach. We are glad that he was here, but now we are glad that he is gone.

Good thing air is free.

Serious question here: Where do you see Gary Patterson winding up next year? His name has started appearing on some of these tweets. Does he hang around a little longer as a defensive analyst or special assistant? I think his career path includes another HC gig at some point. What do you all think?

It's over in Fort Worth. TCU 38 - K State 28

Aggies lost?

Frogs up 31-28.

On behalf of big fat girls named Bertha everywhere, I am offended.

Personally, I think he is doing a great job! 🙂

Yes, Perez will be starting tomorrow.
