Star Telegram...Really?

Postby Duke Blue Blood » Mon Dec 05, 2016 11:42 pm

"Alas, pay attention, class — with a renovated facility completed and coach Jamie Dixon in place, Frogs basketball is about to be relevant and bypass SMU to make this rivalry of the revenue sports a one-sided joke."

Wow....they are 8-0 and have only beaten a 4-3 Washington Team (twice) who has impressive wins against Cal State Fullerton, Northern Arizona, Long Beach & Western Kentucky.

Here is who TCU has beaten

Alabama State 1-7
Jacksonville State 5-4
Illinois State 4-2
UNLV 5-3 (Have beaten nobody)
Arkansas State 7-2 (Beat Georgetown, granted it is a down year)
Washington 4-3

Not saying we are going to curb stomp them (far from it), but I think you need more than 8 wins before you start making statements like the above.

Jamie Dixon is going to get it turned around quick in FW...we might bypass them in football next year though

First away game will be at SMU. In fact we are their only non-conference road game.

One-sided joke is a bit of a stretch based on one game that hasn't been played.

Respectable news outlets do not publish sentences like the one above.

Their renovated facility still sucks. Should have torn it down. Round equals boring.

This was my first thought. It's hard to believe that sentence made it past the editorial staff.

The corrupt and dishonest media.

Technically the UNLV win was a Tournament "neutral".
