  1. Actually 2 of them if you count the hot minute Murray played there.
  2. Outside of fans of the school no one remembers jack shit about other schools seasons (except maybe rivals). Does anyone outside of UT or Miami fans care that Miami beat our ass in the Cotton Bowl? Nope. 10 years from now no one is going to remember anything about this season unless it was a special season for them (UGA, TCU, Tulane, TENN maybe, USC because of the heisman) because no one else's season mattered this year. For most TCU fans, this season will go down as one of their favorites along with the time they got screwed by the playoff committee & the years Dalton took them to the Fiesta Bowl & Rose Bowl.
  3. That's because it wasn't anywhere near a magical season for them in 2004. Maybe you could make that argument in 2000 had the 2000 OU team got manhandled like that against FSU but even that is a stretch. There is no parallel between that OU team & this TCU team other than they caught a beating in the NC game. OU is a blue-blood - TCU is very much not a blue-blood. They entered that season ranked #2 & stayed there all season - TCU entered unranked off of a 5-7 season and staff change after outing the best coach in their history. They dominated everyone that year outside of OSU - TCU sneaked through the season by the skin of their teeth with multiple "how did they win that game" games. They had already begun to establish themselves as a national powerhouse under Stoops having won the NC in 2000 & coulda/would/shoulda gone to back-to-back NC games in 2003 & 2004 had they not shit themselves in the Big 12 CCG against KSU - TCU was coming off of a 5-7 season & 2 .500 seasons (not counting 2020) before this season. Even after that beating OU knew they'd be back relatively soon - TCU may be better than people think because of the portal, but highly unlikely make the NC again anytime soon. I don't think anyone ever WANTS to get blown out, but you can ask most any fanbase in the world that hasn't been to a NC game in 50+ years if they'd take TCU's season this year including the beatdown in the NC game & I could almost guarantee you they'd all say yes. Hell it hasn't been 30 years & I'm already beginning to feel this with the Cowboys.
  4. Given how big of a deal an extra days rest is in the NFL along with how far teams are traveling it seems absurd that they would have games span 3 days. If the Cowboys win (a man can dream) they'll either get to take on Philly (already on a bye) or travel to SF who would have played Saturday & have 2 days extra rest plus no travel while the Cowboys travel coast to coast. Just throw them in the Saturday Divisional Round game on top of it for good measure. Also, it's past time for division winners with losing records to lose their home games. That's always been dumb.
  5. oh man, random people on the internets are going to be sharing mean memes about TCU? Only UGA has a leg to stand on and make fun of TCU because everyone else had a loss or 2 & didn't make it. People won't be mocking Texas because we didn't matter in '22. Being completely irrelevant is worse in my book than getting blown out.
  6. What has next years team won? Have they gone to the Big12 championship? Have they won a playoff game? Sure it looks better on paper than TCU's team but what the shit does that make? Our team looked better on paper this year than TCU, we were even favored to beat them. TCU didn't look like a 12-0 team on paper this year. BU didn't look like a Big 12 championship team on paper before last season. I'm about as optimistic as I can be about next years team & I'm stuck at wondering if we'll win 10 or if we'll find a way to screw up a couple of wins again. If you could guarantee future success then sure, let's slog through it, but since you can't, I think I'll take actual on the field success instead of dreaming of next year every single offseason.
  7. If you're asking for the direction of a program then you're changing the argument. I'd rather go 5-7, 8-5, 10-3, 11-2 & settle in 12-1 land for eternity, but since we don't get to really plan out the next 5 years I'd 100% take a flash in the pan-type season & then hope our coaches can parlay that success into future success as opposed to watching coaches be completely unsuccessful for 3 years & piss away any hint of success at the first opportunity. Baylor won a Big 12 championship last year which we haven't done in 14ish years. They also won their NYE6 bowl which is a combination we haven't accomplished since 2005 when we won the NC. Yeah, I think I'd take that & then have a return to earth for a season opposed to scratching out an 8th win before getting handled in the Alamo Bowl. But that's just my preference & I can certainly understand those who'd prefer to not be on the opposite end of that kind of beatdown.
  8. depends on the alternatives. Lose the championship ugly or catch a beating in the Alamo Bowl or forfeit the bowl or go 5-7 & not make a bowl? I'd prefer the NC beatdown in that scenario. There aren't many scenarios where I wouldn't want to be playing for the NC over much of anything else even though the 60 point beat down would not leave me feeling great. We went 5-7 last year just like TCU, would you have preferred their 13-2 season or our 8-5 season?
  9. Yeah, but he does have a background in the secondary so he could help teach the WRs how the secondary is going to attack them & how to better take advantage of how the secondary is playing them. It may be worth the phone call just to gauge interest. The real money is on the offensive side of the ball & could you imagine learning under Sark while working with a pretty loaded WR room? He'd probably just use us for a raise, but it never hurts to ask.
  10. Good game by Quinn last night. Made a couple of plays with his feet when he needed to, went through progressions more consistently than he has all year, deep ball was good, missed Worthy on the 4th & 1 slant, & some of the screen passes weren't where they needed to be to let the WR get good yardage, but other than that was pretty damn good. Outside of OU it was his best night. Whittington drop on 3rd down, Worthy 2 drops on deep balls & 1 that landed at his feet because he didn't adjust to the throw are on the WRs. He'd have had 400+ yards and another TD or 2. If Neyor isn't going to be healthy then hopefully one of the 2021/2022 WRs figure out how to adjust downfield & maybe not be thrown off a route when a defender breathes on them. The OL needs to take another 2 steps forward as well. Very little to no push all night in the running game is not a recipe for success.
  11. Doubled down? Surely we passed doubled down in the 90's. We're bound to be at whatever the "tuple" is for 100. Looked it up - "centuple"
  12. It could very well be, & probably is, specified in his contract that he has a certain number of days to present his side of the story if the University is seeking to fire him for cause. 10 days or 14 days would be my guess if it's specifically detailed, so it'd be surprising to hear anything this week unless they're going to fire him right before Christmas so the news gets lost among the holidays.
  13. Hard to keep up at this rate but I believe this was the raw footage of Durkin meeting with the defense before their end of season meetings started.
  14. so like a Gentile cigar?
  15. How does nervously excited not make any sense? Like a kid on Christmas Eve imagining what presents they'll get.
  16. Arky was anticipating him to be ready for spring ball according to an interview with Pittman in October. No clue if that's still the case but I'd imagine he would be in a non-contact jersey wherever he is this fall spring while learning whichever defense he'll be starting for next year.
  17. back-to-back shoulder injuries in 2021 & this year. Had reconstructive surgery this year.
  18. No way did he say the portal is your friend. No way that just happened with the blackhole sucking everyone out of BCS as we speak.
  19. With legitimate backups. Thompson & Red with a year in the system & Cook & Niblet coming in as well. Excellent WR room & the ability to be extra picky in the portal or allocate the spot to another position if no one we want is available.
  20. Sorry that your dumb post requires a response with words. Basically, you're an idiot for saying it's unfathomable that Beard is still employed.
