I hate the term "NIL". It's so misleading. These aren't Name Image Likeness deals that are getting done, they are pay for play contracts.
Disagree completely. Doubt you are in position to judge what TCU alums think. That would be like saying you support SD because you want us to return to mediocrity.
So either he knows more than he is saying, or he’s admitting he’s not in on the joke. Hmmmmm. . .
Oh, I think there is definitely a group of boosters (former boosters, maybe) that didn't like Donati and especially the way he let GP go, and by extension don't like SD, and aren't really going to jump back into the pool so to speak until Dykes is gone. They are GP guys and the obvious conflict is there. I think it's silly to pretend there isn't some division there.
The mediocrity comment was part of a simile. It was time for Gary to go but your disdain for what he accomplished is just an act to stir things up IMO, which seems to be your goal.
I don't have a disdain for what he accomplished. What he accomplished up until 2015 was great. I have a disdain for people that pretend like our slide into mediocrity is a recent thing, and because of SD. Generally, we've been pretty damn mediocre since 2016, and the return to mediocrity happened under GP. That's just a fact, I don't know why people are so hesitant to acknowledge that.
You arrived here to argue his 2014 team didn’t belong in the playoff. Admittedly it was debatable but strange timing for a TCU football fan.
Why do we keep pretending that 2017 didn't happen? Top 10 finish and a CCG berth is not mediocre, and the graduating class of 2017 saw a 4 year record of 40-13. Not mediocre at all overall.
I don't know the exact timing, I thought I was here prior to that, but I know I wasn't arguing that we didn't belong before the actual results came out, because prior to that final weekend I thought we were in and I agreed with that, despite you claiming otherwise. I was watching those games on that Saturday night thinking, oh [ Finebaum ], this is not good at all. If you can go dig up some posts that claim otherwise, feel free but you won't find them. I very well could have come on here for the first time after the selection show to see what was being said, and chimed in with my opinion, which obviously was very unpopular and how I became so hated on here. But in all honestly, I don't know exactly how all that went down it was so long ago. I know you couldn't stand me, I do know that, lol.
Sadly, no. He will then just ask but who is he? He did this last year as well.
I'm not pretending that it didn't happen. It was a very good year. Probably our weakest "Top 10" team that we ever had in the GP era, but still a very good year. If you want to say 2018, that's fine, I just think the slide and the cracks started to show in '16.
Who pretends 2022 didn’t happen?
I think 2005 is probably our weakest Top 10 team of the GP era, but I get what you're saying. 2017 wasn't on the same level as 2014 or even 2015 really.
2017 TCU finished #9 in the AP, with an 11-3 (7-2) record, a Top Ten team in the country, so saying 2016 was the beginning of mediocrity is not accurate, not a “fact.” Patterson was medicore for 3.5 seasons (2018-21) before being fired. Maybe you are bending the truth, not being factual, because next year will be year 5 for Dykes, or just to needle again about Patterson.
Outside of that one year Chizik was 5-19 at Iowa State and 19-19 at Auburn.
Right, I think Chizik is a bad coach overall with one really really good year thanks mostly to the generational QB he had at the time. Dykes isn't that bad. I think he's more like a mediocre-to-decent coach overall with one really really good year thanks mostly to the generational QB he had at the time. Oh and one pretty good year if you include 2019.
Or maybe an owner's sock puppet...
