Back to the Bevo 10, for now anyway, I doubt Mizzu sticks around for too much longer.

TCU, offense intended, is not a quality program. Funny. |

The Musers totally ripped Patterson this morning. Well deserved. What a sore loser.

He's been getting ripped by everyone in the media. Rightfully so.

Well, he's lit a fire under the team. He said last night they've been more focused all week than they've been all year. Hopefully he'll get the fan base fired up too...the first three home games were quieter than Yankee Stadium last night, even before the final out.

haha, if he has to complain like a 8 year old about officiating to fire his team up and focus them, then he has a lot bigger issues than firing up 22k fans about playing teams no one gives a crap about.

They need to worry about the game tomorrow night. Another loss may be in order.

SDSU is no easy task. If they ever get their stuff together, administratively, Rocky Long could take that program places it's never been. If the Pac ever has an eye on expansion they might be overlooked if they don't act soon. Tons of potential there.
They've got a QB that could be a 1st rounder and at least three receivers that have futures on Sundays. If TCU's DL continues to put little pressure on the QB then it could be another long day for the secondary.
There hasn't been only 22k fans at a game since 2005.
I think one of the problems is that they've got lots of RS freshmen and sophs and very little senior leadership. Reminds me of the 2007 team that had a hard time getting motivated. By the time they were seniors they won the Rose Bowl. 2013 is the year TCU is shooting for.

Before the season you were bragging about how those young players aren't like young players at other schools because the great Gary Patterson plays lots of kids to give them experience. Then you put gp's unit back in your mouth
Real programs haven't had 22k at a game in about 100 years.

We've had some injuries and RS's have had to be lifted. Five years from now depth won't be a problem.
I'd like to see how the "real schools" do with attendance week in and week out with the same schedule of scrubs. I just wonder why it irks you so much at how far TCU has had to claw inch by inch to get back to where they once were.
Moving on...got a little insight as to how everything unfolded with the B12:
An unnamed SEC AD was at TCU visiting with Chris Del Conte and touring the new stadium a few weeks ago. The AD said that there may be many bigger stadiums but no one will have a better one pound for pound. He also went on to rant and rave about the new weight room and all the other improvements recently made and in the plans. Well, word got to OU that this person had visited TCU and put a little bug in Deloss's ear that the SEC was showing some interest in TCU, as evidenced by the visit. OU said, you're already losing 5 games a year in Texas plus one in DFW (A&M/ARK). You don't want the SEC to have 10 games a year in Texas do you? Now, I don't think the visit was anything other than checking out the facilities. In fact, I think it was South Carolina AD and former TCU AD Eric Hymen just checking out his old stomping grounds. Whatever the story, OU was able to convince UT that there was some real interest on the SEC's part and that is was enough to change Deloss's tune.
This goes back to what I said last year that it's all about having a presence. You can argue both sides about TV numbers but it all comes down to keeping games in all sports in Texas.

Ok. So now the SEC wanted TCU...
The Big 12-2-1+1 (-1) knew it was in trouble and had to start adding to its members. TCU was the only viable option left that was willing to commit to the conference. We've been through this right?

We've been through this right? This x100 If TCU even had the slightest chance of joining the SEC they would not have jumped at the opportunity to suck on tu's magic tit the first chance they had. None of this is about "presence", it's about tv dollars. To think different you are either ignorant or blind. If this was about "presence", whatever the hell that means, OU would be leading the charge, not tu. |

Do you guys actually know how to read? I never said there was some real interest from the SEC. In fact, I said that it was probably Hymen just checking out what's been going on since he left. He was instrumental in getting TCU where they are now and they would not have a new baseball stadium without him. I have also read that USC is looking into making some improvements to their stadium and he was probably looking for ideas.
Did TCU make calls to the SEC? I'm sure they did. The SEC probably said "well, we'll take that under advisement and get back to you."
What I said was that OU was able to put a bug in UT's ear that the SEC may have some real interest in TCU.
Sully, TCU was the only one willing to commit right now. The BEast teams had a 27-month waiting period and BYU wants to give this independent thing more than one year. I think BYU will eventually be in the B12, just not right now.
If it was about TV dollars it goes against what you all have been saying for years. "TCU brings nothing. They hardly have any fans. No one wants to watch them on TV." So which one is it?
As I said, the B12 is already losing 4-5 games in Texas a year. They couldn't afford to pass up the chance to replace it and OU was sly enough to convince UT that there might be some interest from the SEC in TCU. Just three weeks ago UT was completely against TCU's inclusion. Now they're singing their praises. How did it turn so quickly?
OU is leading the charge against UT's castration. It may not be front and center but OU is the one gathering up the resistance to UT. How do you think they agreed to equal revenue sharing? Just a few weeks ago UT was against that too? UT was blinded by it's ego so much that it couldn't see that it was slowly destroying the conference and itself.
About presence...the KSU president said yesterday that had as much to do with it than everything else. He noted their commitment to athletics, facilities, and academics but he also noted that Fort Worth is a great destination for all B12 fans, recruiting, and non-revenue producing sports. It's easy to get to and the travel costs are minimal because of it's proximity to a major international airport. Other schools have also commented that it was incredibly important to maintain it's foothold in Texas. TCU was the only remaining Texas institution that would help maintain that foothold.

dude, if you believe that stupid story you are truly a mouth breather.
There is zero truth to that and texas doesn't knee jerk react like that. How ignorant can you be?
TCU is the only school who would come to the big 12 at this time. They had to add someone. It was a perfect fit.
It doesn't irk me that tcu has done well, quite the opposite. I am happy for them. It irks me that you are so oblivious to reality. I'm about half convinced this is all one big bit from you, because no one could be that out of touch with what really goes on. But you are so adamant that I am pretty sure you actually believe most of the things you spew out on here. Its very entertaining and sad at the same time.
Its not about presence. If it was about presence tcu wouldn't be added. it would be Houston. Its about tv money and convincing some desperate team to join the worst run bcs conference in the country.
Oh, and on a side note, you make some of the lamest, far fetched excuses for your team I have ever heard. I would love for you to just admit a defeat. SMU was better. period. Baylor is better. period.
