Sounds like someone trying to build a base of Big State U followers by picking on the small fan base of TCU where there will be less blowback. The only thing that is interesting is, if we pretend he is on the level, I did a quick glance and all the articles online ranking the coaches have GP ranked anywhere from 8th to further back on the list which isn't ranked high enough for him to get worked up over it. He would have to think GP wasn't a top 25 coach for this to even make sense as why bother if thought he was just top 15 instead of 8th or what not.
Ok, I read his posts. He is making the error of an apples and oranges comparison. He is saying what GP did in the prior conferences doesn't count because say A&M would have done the same in those conferences. But he is forgetting that TCU succeeded without the money, big fanbase, recruiting advantages, etc. If you take those things away from any school, it is a major harder thing to do. And of course, he completely ignores that TCU beat the best team Wisky ever had in the Rose Bowl and TCU didn't even play their best game either.
The other part he is ignoring is that it is still harder to recruit at TCU than the Big State Us even when both are in Power 5 conferences and that TCU dealt with the drug bust incident that would never happen at a Big State U because they wouldn't permit it which hurt GP's overall record. But he may just be ignorant of these things as he thinks Boykin ran a 4.3 40 time? That would be news to NFL scouts.

That guy is a total clown. Twitter has allowed him to have an inflated sense of his importance when the reality is that he has no more college football sense than the average poster on this (or any other) forum.

He says A&M would’ve won all their games in the MWC. He fails to calculate what They might have had on their roster. I doubt they would’ve been load with all those 4 and 5 star guys they can’t win with now...

Another example of a “ writer” who just plops down at a keyboard and starts banging away without doing any research or knowing what the hell he is talking about
It’s really pathetic what they are trying to pass off as journalism these days

In one season Boykin went from a inaccurate passer to a peach bowl hoss qb. I called him out in his crappy season and said that his accuracy couldn’t be improved. Next season, he was so damn good I almost banned myself from the board.
Probably not having Anderson as oc, and having doctson and listenbee flying around the field had a greater impact.

About to post a thread that shows Patterson is, if anything, underrated. TCU is ranked 12th on the list of college teams ... beating FBS teams with winning records over the last 5 years.

Just remember, half the people you meet are below average.
