Texas Power Poll: Week 5

[Pony_Fan]

what is this poll and why should it even matter.

Engel is a total moron

[MustangIcon]

I'm shocked that Mac Engel would rank us so high. After everything else he has written about us it must have been very,very painful. Unless he really wants people to notice us so TCU's strength of schedule goes up.

TCU has OOC wins against Baylor and SMU this year but doesn't play against TT and A&M. Your thought is exactly why he has Baylor and SMU so high.

[ender3]

The entire "poll" (one man's opinion) is set up to make TCU look good.

Which, honestly, is fine, they are the best team in the state.

In my opinion, we'd beat Baylor head up, and given another shot at TTech, minus the first game jitters, we'd beat them too. Even in Jones.

I don't yet think that UTEP is for real. I think it's pretty clear the three best teams in the state are TCU, Texas and SMU (obviously in that order, with big gaps between each). Baylor, UTEP and Houston are pretty close, and then there's everyone else. Texas A&M is going to have to beat someone better than a high school team before they get any credit from me. TTech is suffering badly from "one coach playing with another coach's players" syndrome.

Baylor was not even competitive against TCU. What win does Baylor have that means anything at all?

Pooch problems: UNT receiver injured after being chased by dog


DENTON – Wide receiver Tyler Stradford will miss the Mean Green's next two games after having surgery last week following an off-the-field accident, coach Todd Dodge said.

Stradford was running away from a dog at his apartment complex when he jumped a fence, landed on a piece of lawn furniture and had a piece of pipe puncture four inches into his chest. The Oklahoma transfer is not expected to return until the team's game at Western Kentucky on Oct. 30.

I think that is the 12th starter out

4 inches? and he survived? thats remarkable.

How can Texas, with their overwhelming recruiting advantage, continuously sign 4- and 5-star players, then have trouble being ranked amongst the top-10 in the country?

They kinda have to play as a team, not coddled 5-star prima donas.

[S....M....U]

Boo-yah. Is this the highest we have ever been ranked in this poll?

I thought we were ranked 3rd last week?

so dumb harry. we definitely were

[RednBlue11]

well, he's still right

4 inches? and he survived? thats remarkable.

sounds a little exaggerated. easily survivable, but he wouldn't be returning as soon as they say if it was anything really significant.

too bad for the kid and the program.
