I'm actually happy for TCU, but it is freaking frustrating to see programs like theirs succeed where we continue to fail over and over and over.

Count me into the believing we are cursed crowd.

Yep. And wasn't long ago that R and Murder U won it all in basketball.

Life becomes way better when you realize A&M football is always going to be fool's gold.

Tcu was 5-7 last year


Maybe we go to the Natty next year…

I believe that for about 10 months out of every year. Once my bruised face recovers, I think Aggie Sports has changed and will treat me right again. Until I get another bloody face.

The offense is the missing part. If Jimbo really does give up the offense, I'm confident that we will win a lot more games.

If if's and but's were candy and nuts.......

It isn't like TCU isn't going to suck next year...

Record:
2018: 7-6
2019: 5-7
2020: 6-4
2021: 5-7
2022: 13-1

Transfers:
2019: 5, tOSU, Ga, USCe, K-St, two 4*
2020: 6, LSU, Auburn, Nebraska, OU. 5* and 4*
2021: 6, Miss St, A&M, OU, Two were HS 4*
2022: 14,Ga, FSU, Sips (2), Missouri. Two were HS 4*

They advantaged themselves from Covid.

12 of the 22 TCU Starters are listed as Sr or RS Sr.

Certainly tcu belongs in the SEC west because they are such a powerhouse. ou and tu have to wonder what the hell they are doing leaving the BDF where the playoffs are there for the taking.

This is why I always go in to a season thinking we'll go 1-11. Never disappointed.

Okay, I'm not that bad but I don't let the outcome of a season overly excite me nor upset me.

It just goes to show you that you do not buy a championship. (Jerry Jones says hello.)

You need grit and heart. I'm not saying that money is not a factor but its just not the only factor.

Or you could just not associate every single thing that happens to other teams in college football to Texas A&M.

Shouldnt it be un-freaking-believable?

Plus we got screwed by the committee and were a much better team 2 seasons ago than ND.

Let's tap the brakes until next week. Tcu is living a charmed life and benefited heavily from playing knucklehead Harbaugh and they almost lucked out even further to play tOSU without star RB and two star WRs after Harrison injury vs. UGA.

Tcu has not accomplished anything other than benefit from a SOS loophole that will continue until the 12-Team CFP format is implemented. If they can beat UGA next week, then we can go on full nuclear TexAgs meltdown.

TCU will do well mainly because of their QB. But they haven't seen anything like Georgia.

Well there is a salary cap in the NFL so we don't know what Dallas would do if they could buy everyone. The LA Angels would probably be a better example.

It all starts with O line and QB; TCU had both this year.

We have the QB

TBD if our O line can figure it out

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's CFP success

Look at their depth chart and compare the number of FR / SO vs our team. This class breakdown is not what championship teams looks like.

Keeping and developing players appears to yield better results than relying on talented freshmen.

So true. The Big 12 was incredibly weak this year, and that's saying a lot. TCU's marquee OOC game was versus a horrible Colorado team that won only one game this season. TCU squeaked by a number of marginal teams this season.

Sonny Dykes is a great coach and TCU is a very solid team, but not sure how'd they do with physical opponents week after week playing Alabama, LSU, Tennessee, Georgia, etc. SOS never seemed to matter to the CFP selection committee.
