TCU 01 - I had forgotten about that. IIRC TCU claimed it did not want to travel to a "cold state" when the 9/11 week games were rescheduled at the end of the year and we picked up a cash game hosting Youngstown State, which we won. TCU was very classless.
"Big" (sic) 12 - Told ya so. The SEC is the center of the college sports world, but the Big 10, ACC, or even the Pac 12, as currently constituted, can sometimes produce a worthy team every 5 or 6 years. The Big 2, Little 8, simply cannot. And the Big 2 are moving up and being replaced by yet more clearly mid-major teams. TCU had no more business here than the MAC, AAC, SBC or MWC. I'm not for the playoffs nor the playoff expansion, but at least we won't have to see these types of beatdowns in the finals again, as the SEC and a handful of other teams settle major college football among major college programs.
TCU IS a glorified Mountain West team. To believe otherwise is to buy into the Little 8's BS. When the Big (sic) 12 2.0 was put together, they took mid-major programs like TCU, WVU, etc. and wanted you to believe that somehow, someway, they were now major programs. It takes an especial level of stupid to buy into the idea that, one year, TCU is a "mid-major" but the next year the same program, same everything is a true major. And, fantastically, they are going to try to sell the same lie again with the Big (sic) 12 3.0, telling the stupid that, somehow, Central Florida, Houston, Cincinnati, or whatever is now a major program. They aren't. The Big 12 2.0 and 3.0 are mid-major conferernces.
2023-4. Wondering which SEC team will win the national championship this year.
