The great TCU loses again. 27-20. Sorry Stallion. I'm sure you are disappointed.

Their QB was 20 of 45 for 164 yards, 0 TDs and 4 picks, in a HOME game. Still want him over Willis?

I seem to recall hearing on the radio they were 4-4. I also seem to recall they beat SMU this year. Not much else is relevant.

You forgot to say that when it all plays out, they'll go bowling and SMU won't.

All I remember is the giant Pony Up on the field. All else is just a blur.

There is a good reason I didn't said that.

MWC has four bowl tie-ins for nine teams. As of today (it will likely change Saturday), TCU is 8th in the MWC with a 1-3 conference record. Decent chance they lose another game, which means TCU finishes .500 in conference. Absent home cooking in the Fort Worth Bowl to get them a bid, they might have a bit of a problem getting to a bowl this year.

Hell no! Willis is going to shred the Tulane defense Saturday.

Go Ponies!

Are you kidding, the FW Bowl was invented so they'd have somewhere to go in just such an emergency.

That stat is misleading. If they had counted the completions that he threw to the fans in the stands and the players standing on the sidelines, his completion percentage would have been over 75% and he would have passed for well over 300 yards. Fat Boy needs to recruit him a QB that is worth a sh@*. Now I remember why they only scored once against our matador defense.

Will this season be an anomaly or a trend for the Frogs? I actually take no satisfaction that their performance is lowered to ours. I like good programs to beat, not a false way of saying we're better.

The most imporant point are the consequences for TCU, if they are a middle of the pack team in the MWC. For years, this was my point on why PT and MT time zones makes no sense for the Fort Worth team. Not only do their fans, parents, alums, etc. get to stay up late and listen to the radio (usually) for FB; all the other sports get penalized worse: men, women, BB, and non-revenue.

I firmly believe their anxiety to upgrade to MWC (and get away from us) will not be rewarded. Afraid hubris was the driver.

The Red Headed Step Child could have easily had 7 Interceptions last night-he was simply awful.
