One might think our priorites are to get an IPF Indoor paryting facility) before we expand the stadium. Face it, it gets hot and sunny on the Vard at time.

You would have to move the scoreboard back to the edge of the street, would you not? I suppose a temporary stand could be made for it in the meantime. Of course, we have to get that SEC invite first! :)

Why is next year a different story? What has changed?

Appreciated fellas.

And I think a seasoned TCU defensive will have more luck stopping Line under a (comparatively) young offensive line. All five SMU O-linemen are seniors and being an active UNT fan as well, I know how hard Dunbar has to work to break through the line up here, I don't see that same raw talent in Line.

I also think that a year's experience for Pachall and you guys will be tough-pressed to make a stop there. Dalton was great his first year as a TCU starter ('07 season) and I think Pachall makes similar adjustments.

Very doable if we play an opponent people care about. Which we proved last year against TCU.

We do have a senior laden OL this year but the guys behind will be mostly upperclassmen and were all much better recruits than the current batch so I don't think there will be as much of a drop off their. Sure TCU's defense will be better than this years but I doubt it will be as good as the 2010 TCU defense which zack torched for 160. Zack's talent is that he has incredible vision and is shifty which is better at finding holes than a lot of exceptional athletes that play RB.
