TCU is like a Soddom and Gomorrah

[Pony^]

"Once upon a time, in a land not so far away, there was a college-football team that was pristine.

Players graduated. Big games were won.

Nobody broke the law, or the rules, or even curfew.

It was BS.

The end. Move along. Nothing to see here.

The fairy tale of TCU as one of the cleanest programs in big-time college football got an alternate ending this week. Now it looks like TCU is dirty just like everybody else — not filthy, not caked in muck, just not as squeaky clean as previously advertised.

We were sold the clean BS by Sports Illustrated in an article a year ago about teams like Pitt and Boise State, with criminals and thugs, and how TCU had none — a concept Horned Frogs coach Gary Patterson happily bought into and sold to recruits, by the way.

. . . .

If Patterson made any mistake, it was going along when SI and whoever else painted his Frogs as saintly. If this season has taught us anything, it should be that there are no saints in college football. There are no perfect teams. There are no fairy tales.

There is no such thing as clean. Some schools just do a better job of tidying up their filth better than others."

"We're not going to stay in the Big East unless our attendance goes up," Turner said.
He pointed out that Temple University faced that problem before they left the Big East, but he seemed confident that it would not be an issue at SMU.

Two pages of comments and not a single person has mentioned this passage from the article:

"Fort Worth police were called to the 3500 block of Rogers Avenue at 11:27 p.m. Thursday.
According to a police report, the caller told a dispatcher that "a person with a blowtorch was chasing another person attempting to set them on fire."

I figured an SMU crowd would have a field day with that one. Sounds like it was a hell of a party!

Because we will be reminded that SMU is worse. No matter what school get's in trouble, it will be quickly pointed out that SMU is far worse. Lift up our enemies, and take a poop on SMU every chance you get, is the motto of someone around here.
