Whether you guys can stand his attitude or not, it's hard to argue that what Stallion is saying is correct.

TCU has pulled so far ahead of us in athletics it's not even close. We have a huge mountain to climb, and one of the key building blocks is getting into a better conference. We need to lobby hard along with UH and possibly Tulsa to get into something bigger when it comes available...a meltdown of the Big 12 with OU and A&M going to the SEC and Texas going indy might be our best option.

Look at our home schedule next year and tell me with a straight face that our average attendance isn't going to DECLINE at least 5-10%.

Did they show the home side or was it just the visitors side you saw on tv? When SMU played at UAB last year it was just a couple hundred people on the visitors side. 18,000 on the home side. Don't forget that is a large stadium and even 20,000 looks prety small so if everyone is on one side it is empty on the other.

TCU tailgating sucks! And after all isn’t that really what it’s all about after you’ve lost for 20 years?

I could have been a frog its closer they were already in the top ten, but no! I would rather be a Pony Fan, you don’t have to even stoop to get into the bathrooms at Ford.

they say people are more loyal to "their" teams than they are their significant other.

TCU has done a fine job etc there's no denying that. But why go on and on and on and on and on about how much hotter the other chick is? First it was Texas. Now Texas is putting along and now it's a TCU love fest.

You have to remember who you're talking about here. :lol: As for the longhorns, he had to put his orange and white pop pom's down, because they flat out suck, even with every advantage known to the free world. :lol:

Um, as the best team in the nation, TCU is ahead of everyone. Do you realize that they are better now than we were in our glory years? Good for them.

That would be an EA Sports simulation I'd like to see. 2010 TCU vs 1982 SMU.

What do you guys think? How would it go?

SMU win percentage 1981-1986 was 72%

TCU win percentage 2005-2010 is 83%

Granted, TCU has played in a lesser conference.

So you're saying they don't deserve their year in and year out top 10 ranking? You're saying they don't deserve to be at #3 right now?
