nice press, but i am afraid by mid season everyone will realize a win over TCU is not such a big deal. Our game vs UCF is bigger - and they are better then the little toadies.

Outsiders don't think much of the win to begin with since they think TCU had no business being ranked (should fall out of the rankings on Sunday). UCF is a much bigger game since it's a C-USA contest and they beat us for the C-USA title last season. Hopefully the team plays like it.

Been meaning to ask, was this a real game or an "exhibition?" I think UTEP's defense was better than TCU's.

UCF is 2-2 guys. Losing to Florida International and BYU (respectable).

Southern Miss looks to be the best in the East at the moment.

Houston is our biggest concern at the moment.

i guess that the good thing is that barring some epic collapse, we should be bowl eligible again. only need 2 wins out of those 7 games.

i'm not setting my sights that low, just saying that it will be nice to get that out of the way, and not be worried about it in november.
Ok this is getting ridiculous...I agree with Dutch on THIS ONE POST by him totally
