TCU’s football story is a testament to the importance of competence and continuity.

Apparently the Tulsa World has adopted the Longhorn mentality of "it's all about us".

 

[Dogfrog]

No Bill, this would be the mission of 2-7 teams with no prospects of having their own great season.

They sure seem to think that they know everything about Big 12 football, I've noticed.

Good luck getting him to answer the phone.

It's most likely a voicemail box that an intern monitors.

Go Frogs!

Given the dire straights of newspaper budgets and staffing, it is probably a VM that no one monitors.

Tulsa World Sports Desk, please hold.

I want to talk to that nice young man, Barry Trammel and give my take on Baker and the Sooners.

They are trying to ruin our season.

Exactly. Actually we are trying to ruin each other's seasons.

 

[Frognosticator]
