TCU

Holy Nevada, The Frogs Smell Like Roses. And the Big East.

Think it's been a wacky college football season?

Michigan, Florida, Southern Cal and Texas are a combined 26-17 22.

And TCU (which is apparently jumping to the Big East in 2012) - at the very worst - is going to the Rose Bowl.

Couldn't believe my eyes early Saturday morning. Despite a stirring comeback by Nevada, Boise State was poised to win their WAC showdown not once, but twice. But both times - once at the end of regulation and once in overtime - the Broncos' senior kicker missed straight-on, chip-shot field goals that allowed the Wolfpack an upset victory.

While Auburn and Oregon rallied from early deficits, TCU throttled pitiful New Mexico to hold onto the BCS' No. 3 spot. As of now, the undefeated Horned Frogs will play Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl.

A slip-up by Auburn against South Carolina in the SEC title game or by Oregon against Oregon State and TCU will be playing for the national championship January 10 in Glendale, Arizona.

Having watched almost every play of all three teams last weekend, I can tell you TCU's defense is by far the fastest and the best, Oregon's offense is the most dangerous from anywhere on the field and Cam Newton is a bigger, better Vince Young.

Though I think TCU-Oregon would be the most entertaining matchup, Newton may make Auburn the best team.

As for the Big East, TCU is going - we presume - because BYU and Utah are leaving the Moutain West and the Frogs desired a league with an automatic BCS berth. In basketball TCU will absolutely get its brains beat in, but in baseball it will run unopposed.

Geographically, it makes about as much sense as Dallas playing in the NFC East. But that's worked out okay, eh?

I dig me some Elf, and think he and Josh may have some good give and take, but yeah, he was on weekends for a reason.
The question is will The Fail make it to Christmas?
Mark Elfenbein to the fan to do 11-2 M-F? Giving up on Josh so soon? Once again this proves that the Fail needs to steal bits and hosts from the Ticket to TRY to be sucessful. FYI love me some Elf but there was a reason he was on Sundays right?
TCU is going to the BIG East!!?? When the fuck did this happen?
i love the part late in the video that show that old couple who are boise state fans. the expressions of shock and awe on their faces is priceless.
Lol, listening to the RAGE when the Little Ticket switched to stick and puck. They were gonna take calls in their last segment and didn't get a damn one. I don't care who you are, that is funny.
@romo's shoulder...Vince was a fantastic player and his performance in the BCS title game was great, but it took him three tries to beat OU. I think Cam deserves at least another year before we dismiss him. After all, he's gonna take home the stiff-arm trophy in a couple of weeks.
.Jeremy, Auburn vs Bama and Georgia..were big games, but not the BIG game..a month to prepare for Cam will slow him down. When I watch Cam..I see a little Vince and a little Tebow and a little Adrian Peterson..he good, but he hasn't won a Natl Championship yet...and I know that no one would've given VY his (collegiate) props if he hadn't of beaten the great USC trojanmen. TCU can't beat either Auburn or Oregon but I hope they get an opportunity to prove me wrong. Wisconsin is gonna run over the lil horny frogs, and score about 40 points. POW
TCU will play almost exclusively in the 11 am time slot on one of the ESPN offerings as that were the put most of their big east games.
FIRST @RBS - So you're telling me Auburn vs. Alabama, in Alabama is not a big game ? I'm anxious to see Oregon go up against a defense and not choke like they did last year against the Buckeyes. I think Newton can destroy the Oregon defense, but a month to prepare for him might slow him down. TCUs schedule this year might be harder than its first year in the big east. I would much rather have TCU in the East, I think the start times are much better.
I wonder where our local TCU blowhard is?
jeez, you techno listening homo. nice youtube clip. wanted to watch it but my right ear started bleeding. you know that ear, right? the same one that you have pierced.
Richie Whitt, if you're going to promote your "daily blog" on your radio show, you might want to improve upon the content of said blog.
Superman wouldn't be considered a bigger, better Vince..let alone Cam..I like him, but don't love him...Let him win a Big game first..TCU looks fantastic against their Big Mountain State West brothren, but they will be challenged in their new conference..right that down RW. Oregon is the best team in the nation, then Auburn, then TCU..looks like the BCS is doing ok this year. If TCU makes it to Natl Title game, they will lose by 20..Mark that shit down, and put it on your board RW.
NewsFlash, TCU didnt jump to the NO3 BCS spot, they have been there for a few weeks. It was expected that Boise would pass them if Boise won but they didnt.
"Boise State was poised to their WAC showdown not once..." They pay you to write? TCU should be very thankful LSU went down also. I wouldn't have put it past the voters and the system to get a one-loss LSU in the title game if Auburn or Oregon spits the bit.
Yes, you're both first. The real winner is whoever is first in my butt! Cornbread ass me, yo!! Also, did you see the name of the Dallas police office that was injured in the shoot out last night? ZOINKS!
poor Kergo. Foiled again. And don't blame it on captcha. The Big 12 should be fucking ashamed of themselves. You have two teams leave, and there's a quality top 10 team available, and you don't offer? Piss poor Mr. Beebe.
1st!!!!!
1st heteros!!!
