[QUOTE="Limey Frog, post: 3324477, member: 16969"] I don't think TCU fans were collectively as unrealistic last year as the FWST's pot-stirring revisionist-in-chief wants to pretend. We were all pretty well aware that the team was scrapping its way into games we could easily have lost, and that players like Max, QJ, Kendre, and Dee Winters don't come along very often (at least not at TCU and at the same time). I think the month-long discussion leading up to the Fiesta Bowl focussed on all of the many things that would have to fall our way for TCU to win, and that's how it played out. I don't know that many of us were too surprised to see how utterly overmatched we were vs. Georgia. I don't know about anyone else, but my frustration right now isn't because I thought TCU was a genuine world-beater last year and has dropped off massively. If anything, my current frustration springs from a knowledge of just how tenuous our success last year was. Sometimes you need to be both lucky and good; last year we were both. But luck can give you an opportunity that you can leverage into a place where you don't need luck anymore. Last year TCU football achieved some things that cracked the door on a new level of long-term success. I'd like to see us follow up on that opportunity and establish ourselves at the top of the new Big 12. [/QUOTE]
