Congrats on the win against Tulsa and good luck in your bowl game. Hope its not Hawaii...great for players but not good for most fans and won't be a big name opponent.

Cheers

WE don't have many fans, so let's play in Hawai'i - that's where the players want to go. If you were 21 years old, you would, too.

Thanks. And many of us will take it. Not as good as we had hoped but still better than the Beloved Razorbacks' season. And this from a recruiting class after a 1-11 season.

Thanks ReedFrawg. You seem to have the class we would hope from all TCU fans.

What a pathetic attitude. Aren't we trying to be a big-time program? You go to whatever bowl is best for the program, screw what players or fans want. A real fan wants what is best for the program, not themselves and the players are employees - they are being paid (education, coaching, exposure to NFL scouts) not pop Warner kids or charity workers.

Exactly. You know you have a sad fan base when a fan blames the fans.

Considering the options, I think we can develop our program just fine in Hawai'i. See you at the pep rally on Waikiki.

Heathen Hawaiians are the worst. Hopefully the Hawaii bowl will die and we will never have to worry about it ever again.
