[QUOTE="Frog DJ, post: 2933204, member: 4918"] I have [U][I][B]zero[/B][/I][/U] special insight for the mindsets of other fan bases, because I've been a TCU fan, student and alum my entire life, and since I live in the Houston area there are very few other Frog fans around me, outside of my immediate family. However, I get the general impression that most UT, BU and TT fans recognize that TCU is not the pushover it was back in the late SWC days, but they do have a certain sense of entitlement that makes them think the Frogs should "stay in their place," if you will. I don't think there's any doubt they [U][I][B]expect[/B][/I][/U] to beat TCU, and when they don't the embarrassment is crippling for them, so they lash out at their current head coach. I know my fellow Baptists are highly frustrated that TCU can hang on to its head coach, but Baylor [I][U][B]can't[/B][/U][/I]. The Red Raiders have short memories (or a poor grasp of history), because TCU lobbied loud and long for Tech's inclusion into the SWC back in the day, and now they act as though they're somehow superior to the Frogs because they were part of the original transition over to the Big XII. The Longhorns are just frustrated about their general ineptitude and repeated failure, and I've said it before, so I'll say it again - Tom Herman can win [I][U][B]all[/B][/U][/I] the Red River Rivalry games (or whatever they call it now), but if he can't figure out how to beat TCU more consistently, he won't last long in Austin. No matter what else happens in this season - the mere fact that TCU has beaten all three of the Big XII's other Texas schools makes my heart happy! Do I want more? Of course I do, but I simply [U][I][B]love[/B][/I][/U] to wear my purple TCU golf shirt to church on Sunday mornings (even if my attendance is virtual). Oh, the weeping and gnashing of teeth... Go Frogs! [/QUOTE]
