If TCU played Texas on a neutral field...

[Pride>UFC]

TCU would eat em up for breakfast. This team is a freakin machine.

Have you seen this team play offense? This team was 19 point favorites against Utah, and guess what??? They were covering by the end of the 1st quarter.

Picture a better version of Georgia Tech's offense with Texas' defense. That's TCU.

No overrated quarterback like McCoy who scores 13 points against Bradfordless Oklahoma or 13 against an average Cornhusker team.

Boise State's a quality team, and this won't be a Florida vs Cincinatti, but TCU's definitely on the same level as Florida or Bama, only problem is that they're a disrespected Mountain West team.

The spread should be -14.5 tonite.

I'd be surprised if Boise allows under 40 and scores over 30.

TCU and over! ...TCU should almost get the over themselves

[HoldEmHook!!]

Same level as Florida or Bama....is this the comedy channel.......Before you crown TCU as the best team in college think about what would happen if TCU played in the SEC or Big 12......they would have 2 or 3 defeats and would not even be in this debate......so untill they play a schedule worthy of national recognition and untill they have a history or tradition more than 4 or 5 years old then this should be enough.......5 years ago these big little schools were not big in the mix at all and now they are in a BCS bowl game....they should be happy with their progression. TCU is a good team, but on the same level as Bama or Florida.....please be real

you're funny...you guys score 13 on Chokelahoma's great big 12 defense and 13 against Nebraska...every REAL college football fan that isn't a redneck Texas fan KNOWS TCU should be in this game and Texas got in because they're Texas. TCU would murder u guys, and everyone knows it.

Have fun gettin blown out and making the Big 12 look pathetic on Thursday

[Pride>UFC]

You guys got a gift from the refs too cuz you're moron quarterback threw away the national title and the refs gave you one second back just because there's more money in Texas in the title game.

Truth hurts huh?

[Steeve]

Agreed. You can't put TCU in the same conversation with Texas, Alabama or Florida. They should be happy with the accomplishments they have achieved, but shouldn't get too big for their britches.

I'll go one better for you: Texas could play TCU in College Station or in Norman, and TCU still wouldn't be able to handle 'em. The venue is irrelevant: TCU isn't a top contender.

[RockoSocko]

this is the dumbest thread on this board... you freakin private school morons don't know shit about football.

TCU is a good football team... i'll give you that... but they would not of beaten florida... they COULD not beat Texas... ever heard of colt mccoy and mack brown? They won't even beat boise state.... i'll be back on tonight to gloat and call you a moron again after TCU loses.



edit - that was pretty rude - tcu def loses, but it was un-called for. my apologies.

[teaserpleaser]

I'd take Texas...patterson is doing an A+ job of getting the players Texas passed on or coudnt take and coaching them up. its a great idea really take all the ATHs you can get most of them were the fastest/most explosive playmakers on their high school teams and put them on defense to improve team speed. TCU is a very good team their overall team speed is impressive but yeah i dont see them beating Texas.

[BigdaddyQH]

I think TCU could give Texas an intersting game, but Texas still has the better athletes and defense and wins this game. Maybe not a rout, but a definite win. Alabama or Florida would crush TCU. TCU has not played against a defense like those two teams have. Some of you guys have to do a reality check.

[teaserpleaser]

Boise is going to score i dont care how good this mccoy kid is hes no rafeal priest. TCU plays a ton of man going to be hard to replace a 3 year starter 1st team all mcw cover corner with the skill of priest...nick sanders can be picked on at times. Thinking of playing the Boise total over 23

[Pride>UFC]

...so after TCU wins by double digits and Bama rolls Texas, you'll all and agree that you don't know anything because you don't even watch the games.

Texas is an overrated average team.

TCU is an underrated explosive juggernaut.

[teaserpleaser]

i fixed it for you

...so after TCU wins by double digits and Bama rolls Texas, most of you in this thread besides Teaser will and agree that you don't know anything because you don't even watch the games.

Texas is an overrated average team.

TCU is an underrated explosive juggernaut.

watched Boise play 5 times TCU 4 times i know them both well

[RockoSocko]

your record must be HORRIBLE. lol... tcu loses tonight and texas wins straight up against bama.... you are a bookies best friend... believe the hype buddy, that's what they want.... MORON

TCU dominated the Mountain West. How good is the MWC? It was difficult to know during the season since many of its games were cleverly hidden from national television cameras, but you know if you've watched the bowl games. The MWC is 4-0 so far, and every victory has been a spectacular, take-notice statement.

Wyoming was a 10-point underdog against Fresno State and scored a one-touchdown upset. Brigham Young was a three-point underdog against Oregon State and dominated the Beavers by 24. Utah was a 2½-point dog to California and won by 10. Air Force was a 4½-point underdog to Houston and won by 27.


TCU's average margin of victory over those four conference opponents? An emphatic 24 points. The Frogs didn't just win big games; they dominated big games.

But don't forget the nonconference work as well. TCU beat Clemson on the road in September; the Tigers won the Music City Bowl over Kentucky. TCU handled SMU easily in October; the Mustangs won the Hawaii Bowl over Nevada in a rout.

The Frogs were 6-0 against bowl-bound opponents -- and all six of those teams now have won their bowls. How you like 'em now?

[Dolfan4life]

If u look at this years teams there not as good as last year I would take last years Alabama over this years sayin that I believe this tcu team is better then lasts and last years Utah so I mean Utah can beat Alabama why can't tcu beat an overrated Texas squad but this is why u need a playoff

[RockoSocko]

agreed there... i would love a playoff...

[brooks85]

i would also take TCU against texas, regardless of location.

[RockoSocko]

so you would take the 3rd or 4th string texas players... over the 1st string texas players? Brilliant....

[brooks85]

[RockoSocko]

uh... guess i'll explain... everybody who can play wants to go to THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS... the number 1 football school in texas... if you can't play for texas you go to oklahoma... or tech, or a&m because THEY are big football schools... so the 3rd or 4th rate athletes (minus LT a few years ago) go to TCU. they are a glorified boise st.... except boise state has been to a huge game and beat OKLAHOMA

[teaserpleaser]

pretty much... TCU starting to close the gap with Texas Tech though. using the eyeball test i'll say they already have.

[HoldEmHook!!]

you're funny...you guys score 13 on Chokelahoma's great big 12 defense and 13 against Nebraska...every REAL college football fan that isn't a redneck Texas fan KNOWS TCU should be in this game and Texas got in because they're Texas. TCU would murder u guys, and everyone knows it.

you are so freaking smart....you dont even realize I am a SEC fan. (look at my Avatar) Bama would beat TCU no question......My point was untill these big little schools play a big-boy schedule they are right where they need to be.....

[HoldEmHook!!]

your record must be HORRIBLE. lol... tcu loses tonight and texas wins straight up against bama.... you are a bookies best friend... believe the hype buddy, that's what they want.... MORON

And exactly how much do you have on these two games........you will lose your Texas bet....Bama beats Texas by double digits. As much as I dis-agree with PRIDE/ufc lack of tact in his posts he at least has stats to back his points. You just run your mouth hiding behind your keyboard opening your mouth with sound and furry signifying nothing....You my friend are a laughable joke

[RockoSocko]

Not your friend.

You can smell the upset can't you? You sound just like every USC fan back before we took them on what was basically their home field.

A laughable joke? As opposed to a non-laughable joke? How does that apply here...Wtf are you talking about.... go post somewhere else.

btw - i have 5 units on boise and am debating on the texas game... probably 3-4.

shall we put some points on the texas game holdemhook?

Yet you still try......Keep living in the past....USC had the 65th ranked defense that year too Maybe that allowed Texas to stay in the game....the only thing I smell is the stench coming from your posts and that stench smells just like shit......I am very confident in Bamas Victory....I will continue to post anywhere, anytime I want to.........BOL to you and your plays....you need it.......How many points would you like to wager

[RockoSocko]

you are aware this is on the internet right... there are no SOUNDS... or SMELLS.... your juvenile attempt to hurt my feelings is as pointless as it was relevant. back to bama... must of been where you got that education eh? "furry" for "fury" i'm guessing...

[RockoSocko]

i'll bet em all, i have 80 today

[BigdaddyQH]

Let's see what kind of guts both of you have. Let's see some action, and I do not mean points. Rocco, you have a big mouth. Put up or shut up. How much money do you want to put on that maneur pile from Austin. Let's see some action. We have seen a lot of talk out of you. Now either put up, or shut up. Let see exactly how much you are willing to wager. If you are like most people, you will chicken out. 132 posts and some dumb a** like youself is telling posters to go post somewheres else. Either put up or stop running your mouth boy.

[HoldEmHook!!]

Sorry for the spelling error....not.......you asked me could I smell the upset and I told you what I smelt(metaphoricaly)....Funny thing your use of juvenile....that is the pot calling the kettle black....I will glady accept your wager....what line do you want

[HoldEmHook!!]

RockoSocko...I am about to eat dinner with my family, then some family time before the game...you can P.M. me with what line you want to use.............

[Givemhell Horns]

The Horns vs. TCU would be a good game. Funny as hell though to hear the Horns would get stomped by a program that has beat us TWICE in the last 40 games. We heard the same thing 3 years ago before they were rolled in Austin.

Now the lowly Longhorns don't stand a chance against a UA team that has never even won A BCS bowl game. Heck, Saban even has a losing bowl record, Mack is 8-3 in bowls at Texas having won 5 in a row.

One damn thing for sure, you will NEVER see a Longhorn team EVER lose to a Louisiana freaking Monroe squad.

The Horns may not beat UA but it should be a good one. Maybe UA can get their first win vs. the Horns since they are 0-7-1.

[MTek]

uh... guess i'll explain... everybody who can play wants to go to THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS... the number 1 football school in texas... if you can't play for texas you go to oklahoma... or tech, or a&m because THEY are big football schools... so the 3rd or 4th rate athletes (minus LT a few years ago) go to TCU. they are a glorified boise st.... except boise state has been to a huge game and beat OKLAHOMA

LOL..."everyone wants to go to Texass"....except for LT ...lol

Pathetically over rated SEC and Big 12 conferences....right Boise beat Oklahoma....Penn State beat LSU....Mich St took TT to the final gun w/o 14 of its players ... it goes on and on...there's no truly "dominate" conference...just good teams that survive their conferences ... and theirs one Tim Tebow for the past 2 years, now the cycle will revolve again....remember ND used to be the powerhouse....then Miami for a few years....the SEC just happens to be at their "turn" in the cycle......see ya back here in a few years...or will we?

[RockoSocko]

i can't believe all the assholes coming out of the woodwork on this site! You can all go to hell - and I will go to Texas. Bitches.

[Snowball]

Texas sucks and doesn't even deserve its rank
Crimson Tide all the way

[jdhender]

Looks at the schedule TCU has played and look at how those opponents have done in their bowl match ups - These guys can play with anyone.
