TCU scheduled OOC as smartly as anyone during their rise to prominence in the 2000s - a mix of mediocre BCS conference teams (Stanford and Vanderbilt were nothing like they are today), Army and Navy, plus the occasional game against a Big 12 team. They were blown out by Tech in Lubbock in 2004 and also lost to UT in Austin in 2007. Perhaps their most impressive victories were against Tech in 2006 and over the RGIII led Baylor team in 2009. THIS is how we need to schedule OOC.

TCU also recruited and developed talent a hell of a lot better than us during their rise to prominence. Given our current level of talent (bottom 25 in the country) even scheduling like TCU doesn't guarantee us this 4-0/3-1 everyone seems to think it will. In fact all it will guarantee us is a bunch of sub 15K crowds at Ford and road games to places our fans won't travel. We need to vastly improve our talent level (need a brand new coach and staff) and start playing up to the P5 teams on our schedule instead of hiding lousy personnel behind cowardly scheduling.

We did not win 6 conference games last year, but I am glad we played Fresno St in the Hawaii Bowl.
