Almost every time we lose a game we talk about how we didn't play well.....much more than we talk about how great the other team is/was. Not sure why it should be different with other teams.

Admitted to the conference by necessity, TCU (and to a lesser extent West Virginia) has never really been embraced by the other members...and yeah, they usually express depression and embarrassment when non-winning against the Frogs....
