  • TCU

    After watching the TCU/Clemson game, I don't think anyone in the MWC has a shot at beating TCU this year.

    The weather definitely affected TCU's defense and run game, but Dalton was able to put together a clutch 4th quarter drive. If their kicker can keep it together, they have a legit shot at finishing in the Top 5.

    I stand by preseason prediction of an L in that game. That 25 pt beatdown last year isn't overcome in LES. The magic left the building about 10 days ago along with any discipline this team thought it had.

      Not that I don't agree with you, but why is it year after year TCU is hyped the most, when they have done the least of the top non-AQ teams (Boise State, Utah, BYU)?

        All I need is a few more of you this early on to be calling for a TCU win over BYU and I will essentially feel a BYU lock is in the cards.

        Better yet, SU, have you an opinion on this game yet?

          I never count out BYU down in LES.

          That swampy long grass is a killer.

          I figured that someone forgot to leave the sprinklers on against FSU.

            Apparently you didn't watch either of BYU's first two home games this season. That swampy long grass has been replaced with tens of thousands of golf divots, donated by the neighboring golf courses. Much like a divot placed back in its original spot, they aren't really attached to the ground.

              I won't tell you my sources, but I am getting vibes that the TCU game might be switched to the indoor practice facility.

              Only the band will be allowed in, in case we win they want TCU to hear pop corn poppin ringing in their ears.

                Hyped the most? I would argue the exact opposite. They beat BState and start the season ranked lower? They were a field goal away from being in (and winning) the Sugar Bowl.

                TCU is arguably the most underrated team in the nation. They were beating Oklahoma (in Norman) long before Max Hall was even throwing interceptions.

                  I'm still predicting a BYU win in this game.

                  And with the new drainage sytem that was installed along with the divot-filled sod, I doubt there's any way to make the LES field soggy.
