Imagine actually believing this to be true. A certain Joe Kennedy quote is coming to mind right now.

*John Kennedy.

same joe kennedy who went to the teamsters to get his son elected president and made his fortune running boot leg scotch?

Gotta admit though, that last series of TCU offensive plays were laughable. Hall Of Fame level ineptitude and poor feel play calling. Watched a lot of ball over the years and trying to recall the last time I have seen something so helpless. That fade was the crown jewel.

We just lost to the number 12 team in the country, a team that is now 9-0 and it took them 3OTs to take us out. We did this with a true freshman at QB, anyone remember the growing pains with Boykin. Great game by our defense, held them without a TD until OT!

oh, yay! so when is the parade and trophy presentation for the moral victories?

Use our speed and run somewhere else just twice, and likely a td. It is the same stuff that cost us last year.
And I don't see how folks can think we are not hurting in the S&C program.

well, at least he knew when to run a boot leg.

I knew it was a fake Kennedy, I just got mixed up on which one!

Frogs lost to perhaps the softest #12 team in the history of college football. Frogs did not play well especially on offense. There is zero moral victory in this loss so please don’t put lipstick on this pig.

Yeah. BU guy I know is already worried about the next game.

 

[Flying T]

Dude, this program is going backwards. And he makes bad decisions in games like this. He built a mid major progam. Overall, in the big 12, he is not getting it done.

I agree, something is systemically wrong with the program, and has been for a while. You can see it in the lack of passion and enthusiasm on the part of the team, the big-time recruits who continue to come here in love with TCU only to regress or leave, the horrific play-calling, and it is evident in just the overall incompetence and disfunction on display for the entire world to see .

 

[Big Frog II]

It goes back to an offense and special team play that is inadequate for the Big 12.

 

[Mean Purple]

the issue for me is not a singular loss no more than a singular win over texas validates things are headed in the right direction.

the issue is the continued pattern of on field mistakes by the offense that we have seen over the last 3 seasons regardless if the frogs had freshmen, sophomores, juniors, or seniors on the field.

the issue is a lack of fundamental skills at key positions that simply have not been developed and/or applied as well as no apparent overall coherent plan for the offense the past 3 seasons.

the issue is the entire matter with alex delton being forced into an offense he didn't fit, a passive mindset in an offensive line when the strength of your offense is your running backs, and things such as sonny being trotted out after the smu game.

Every issue you raise is warranted. Yeah, teams lose, but it is just the constant bad execution and play calling. And nothing has been fixed in the off seasons. And our S&C program has a lot to answer for.

We are lucky we got texas when they were really banged up.

just as long as you aren't quoting teddy.

even though nice night for a swim might fit nicely with the frogs offense driving off a bridge on that final ot series

won't matter, too many old money coots more worried about suites. the hire for AD should have been a national search. we are not a WAC team anymore. We have money, and facilities. No execuse and there should be no fear of going after big assistants. And, if we see this again next year, which we likely will, then Patterson needs to feel some heat. But, again, too many guys drinking coffee at a cadi dealership who will buffer.

You hit the nail on the head with the lack of S&C. I can tell you the program at TCU is woeful. The off-season programs are a joke. what I’ve seen at TCU is laughable. High schools have better S&C programs.

But how predictable was it?

If this happens again next year and Gary still has complete job security it’s basically an admission that we’ve given up. You wanna be big time, act big time.

rcvrs were way better when Meach was here.
All the big stars we got don't make consistent catches. They run wrong routes. They don't block.
just unreal.
Patterson in comments last week saying how everybody comes up saying "put me in, I can make it" and Patterson looks for reasons not to put them in. Always some excuse. What's his excuse for letting 36 seconds just run off the clock at the end of the game.?

 

[Pharm Frog]

A lot of you were saying last year that if THIS happens again THIS year....well....

 

[Mean Purple]

But how predictable was it?

very. I knew when they overturned Max's td (and I don't think they really had enough to do so by the way. but we knew the conf would step in at some point) that we were in deep trouble. Cumbie showed up in full Cumbie mode. His name must be a translation for insanity.

 

[Big Frog II]

This must be the year for wholesale assistant coach turnover. They are NOT getting the job done.
