[QUOTE="TCUdirtbag, post: 3216125, member: 61297"] The question everyone asked in 2010--and even in 2012 as we joined the Big 12. Given where things stand with conference alignment changes and an encroaching sense of being minimized by national media as a result, let's check in on the state of TCU Athletics..... Gander over to [URL='https://big12sports.com/']Big12Ssports.com[/URL] and click on "Standings" in the top right. You'll see TCU almost consistently at the top: [LIST] [*]2022 Baseball Standings: [I]First Place--TCU [/I][Big 12 Champ + Final Top 25 Ranking (19-23)] [*]2022 Football Standings: [I]First Place--TCU [/I][Guaranteed Big 12 Champ [I][B]or[/B] [/I]Runner-up + presently #4 in the country] [*]2022 Men's Tennis Standings: [I]First Place--TCU [/I][ITA Indoor National Champ + Big 12 Champ + Final NCAA Ranking #3] [*]2022 Soccer Standings: [I]Second Place--TCU [/I][Big 12 Regular Season & Tournament Runner Up, Currently ranked #21 and advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16) [*]2022 Volleyball Standings: [I]Fourth Place--TCU[/I] [*]2022 Women's Tennis Standings: [I]Eighth Place--TCU[/I] [*]2022-23 Equestrian Standings: [I]First Place--TCU [/I][Currently ranked #2] [*]2022-23 Men's Basketball Standings: [I]Everyone is 0-0[/I] [Currently ranked #15 and played in this year’s NCAA 2nd Round] [*]2022-23 Women's Basketball Standings: [I]Likewise, too early[/I]. [/LIST] So in the 9 of 10 conference-sponsored regular season standings [TCU doesn't participate in the 10th, softball], TCU is in 1st, 1st, 1st, 2nd, 4th, 8th, 1st, and TBD in both basketball programs (though 1 is ranked nationally in the top 15), and 6 of those 9 are ranked in the top 25 nationally. Not included: TCU Beach Volleyball finished the 2022 season ranked #6 nationally. Rifle finished #2 nationally, and is presently ranked #6 early in this year's season. Cross country, track and field, swimming and diving, and the upcoming triathlon teams don't have "regular season" conference standings to share. A [B]damn fine program[/B] we have here. One that has in fact not only competed at a national level since joining the Power 5 in 2012 -- but actually become [I]more [/I]competitive since doing so. [/QUOTE]
