Yeah, we beat #4 OU in Norman when we were in the minor leagues too. Two weeks later nobody cared.
Why didn't TCU get an invite to the Big 12 in 2005?

Why do people continue to think that how good a team currently plays is anywhere close to the top of the list of decision criteria?TX_Krötenechse said:Honestly after today if we expand, UH is in. As much as I feel we shouldn't water down the conference with another Texas team, they probably played their way in today.
Ok, here is realityBig12Frog said:Tired of hearing the same lame arguments that tcu got when we wanted in.
Hello coach Hermann, this is LSU...Big12Frog said:Houston has a growing fan base too. Some of you forget their history. In the big 12 they would contend with same staff in place obviously.
Cuz no one cared about us then either, especially after losing to SMU the next week. That was my point.Horny4TCU said:

I think "LaForce" is what those Baylor players were charged withPharm Frog said:Alli LaForce deserves an invitation to the B12

According to one unconfirmed rumor, there were 8 no-votes. Nobody knows the truth.flyfishingfrog said:Why do people continue to think that how good a team currently plays is anywhere close to the top of the list of decision criteria?
CoogHigh has 8 NO VOTES.
Not getting in....
The rumor out of OK is that they are "closer to 8 no votes than to 8 yes votes". Berry Tramel I thinkTX_Krötenechse said:According to one unconfirmed rumor, there were 8 no-votes. Nobody knows the truth.
Don't get me wrong, I don't want Houston in the conference. I don't want them to do well this season and make a playoff argument. But like it or not, the focus is on B12 expansion and they performed big time when the spotlight was on them.
Shouldn't he be out selling water? T Boone Culliigangeezer said:During a Saturday news conference at Boone Pickens Stadium, Oklahoma State donor T. Boone Pickens identified Houston and SMU as his favorite candidates for Big 12 Conference expansion.
If I had my choices, the two I would prefer would be Houston and SMU, Pickens said. Id rather take a Texas team over BYU and Cincinnati. Im an Oklahoma guy living in Texas. You know that. But Ive lived in Texas longer than I have in Oklahoma. I do live in Dallas, and I have a granddaughter on the equestrian team at SMU. My daughter graduated from SMU.
(SMU President) Gerald Turner called me and (asked) if I would support him (with Big 12 officials). I said, Sure. SMU is going to have (quality) football again. Theyre going to be like TCU. TCU got serious, and SMU is going to do the same thing. BYU do you know what it costs to send our teams out there? Its a long way. BYU is a great school, but Id rather have SMU than BYU.

HoustonVeer said:Houston-OU did a 12.8 TV rating locally, and a 4.0 nationally.
To put that in perspective:
1. 12.8 is the highest opening weekend rating for the Houston market. Ever.
2. 12.8 is 50% higher than A&M-Bama in 2015 at 8.5. That game was the top rated game all regular season in the Houston market.
3. 4.0 nationally is higher than any Big 12 regular season game in 2015. Compare OU-Baylor at 3.8 and Texas-OU at 3.3
Anyone who says Houston doesn't care about UH, or that UH cannot help the Big 12 recapture the Houston market from the SEC, is just ignorant.
Your team just had a solid win. Why are you on our board? We have nothing to do with this. TCU isn't in Houston. Go to your own board. Or an Oklahoma board. Go anywhere but go away.HoustonVeer said:Houston-OU did a 12.8 TV rating locally, and a 4.0 nationally.
