What an azzhole. But, with TCU's recruiting class....he could be right.

Community newspaper buffoon.

What do you feel he got wrong? Seems like all the facts are in order...

Mac Engel is the journalist avatar for TCU's fartsniffing, Johnny come lately fan base.

Congrats on the win, but SMU still leads the all time series and had won 5-6 in a row in bball before Tuesday night. So TCU beats SMU in basketball about as often as SMU beats TCU in football. That's hardly what I would call a turning point. Basically his argument comes down to "TCU is in the Big 12, SMU isn't."

Congrats to the TCU administration for having the foresight in the late 90s-early 2000s to see the seismic changes coming to college athletics and responding/investing accordingly. That said, TCU fans act like there is something intrinsically SPECIAL about them that SMU doesn't have. Um, no. Trade everything about our teams and programs and we would be packing Ford and Moody while they would be wailing and gnashing about where the fans are.

He wrote basically the same article last yr before their beatdown saying the tables had turned.

Guess we should just go ahead and shut it down in his opinion. comical.

I have no idea who you guys have coming in, but I'm excited about Kaden Archie headed our way. Seems like there are plenty of kids in DFW who might want to play over half of their games in front of mom and dad, You guys for sure currently have the upper hand, although I think losing the australians last year mid season didn't do you any favors. Good luck in the AAC, hope we get your again if we both get to the 64

Losing the Australians was the best thing to ever happen to this program. We won something like 26 of the next 27 games after they left and got rid of the drama that surrounded them

Games are mostly won and lost due to recruiting. There is no precise formula, but a big time can recruit can make an average coach look great.

I think Jank is a good coach, but I have been worried about his recruiting. I know we are transfer U, but with limited scholarships we need to make sure we quality recruits that can produce from Day 1. If we think this year is a rebuilding year, then what is next year?

Obviously the writing style is intentionally inflammatory which is very unprofessional for an alleged unbiased news source, but it's hard to argue with the general point.

Even if they just stay close to us in basketball it is a big negative for us since we haven't been able to maintain being anywhere close to them in football for ages, even though to be fair we have hung with them until the games got out of hand late the past two times in Ft. Worth.

We can't alternate wins with them, and it looks like there is a decent chance we will.

[ponyboy101]

a think he was stretching a little bit. but they are catching up to us and continue to get and steal our recruits. hope we get maxed.....

Agreed.

Hey there's a free agent drama queen available LiAngelo Ball. TCU should be all over him.

You must not have seen the Australians play. Imagine someone playing on a court made of molasses. Them leaving was a god-send.

Congrats on the win. We aint scared.

p.s. - You should have torn down that awful round arena instead of putting a 50 M coat of paint on it. Thought you Big 12 dudes were supposed to have money?

Engel reminds me a little of Skippy Bayless. He likes to use the "Lets throw some [deleted] up against the wall and see what sticks" style. As are most of the so called sports writers these days, he sucks
