Are they though? Do top players get penalized for transferring between schools, sitting out of bowl games, or deciding to "focus on the draft" instead of coming back from injuries? I'd say once you prove you've got "it" very little else matters.
Another loss is about to be in the books. Can we please fire Doug Meacham? Please?

There are a whole bunch of assistants that need replacing. And for the love of God, why can't we hire a whiz-band Special Team's coach? When you have 2 people coaching the defensive line, you know you have troubles.
Our talent is not better. Why do you believe that? Because some bogus recruiting service told you?
Name 1 current defender who would start over anyone on the ‘14 D or the Fiesta or Rose Bowl teams.
Want to try to convince me or anyone that our talent is better now?

Except that he goes all out on every play, and is not only willing to block, but is the best blocking RB I've seen outside the academies in forever..

And Bumpass new Gary's whole defense inside and out. Run defense HAS NOT been the same since he retired.
Good thoughts and WV and Kansas State are not yet at our overall team talent level but they totally understand the GP defense and we have big time trouble trying to beat them. And if we take your thought process further to this coming weekend, Sonny knows more about Gp than the other Sonny, so we better beware of what's waiting for us in Lubbock.

Was I supposed to type something here?
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing but good things to say about Zach. I was simply reacting to the assertion that there is some arrangement to limit his carries.

Rumor, Evans handlers are suggesting 10 to 15 touches. Rumor I said..

Guess I'll go to my grave saying this, again, for the last 20 years, before each game, GP sits down with every CO & staff, I've ever seen at TCU and asks, tell me what you're going to do? No don't call this, okay call this. Ch w/ me before you run this during the game. Some of you still think Gary has turned over the offense to the offense. It's GP's team and program and he can do what he feels. but there times when you dive to home plate rather than run across it. Want proof, look at the style of offense we run. Same QB's, same, same. On the other hand, ck out Saban he's way out front on every aspect and makes changes quick. 'll say this again, Gary is a great guy and a excellent coach but TCU NEEDS a culture change in coaching starting at the top. ok bomb's away.
Country, I don't see blame here. GP was here when Fran ran his hoss (LT) and GP witnessed the results. He knows how good Zach is, he sees him every day in practice and the entire coaching staff sees it along with the players. I believe they had an understanding early on as to how much work load he should carry and it seems to be about 15 carries/game with around 3 receptions for a total of 18 touches +-. Stop wasting his energy and possible injury as the lead blocker MEACH/KILL. Sure would like to see him on the wheel route.
With Noah and Bethley back and Kari back to full speed and Hodge starting, it's definitely an upgrade for TT.

Meanwhile Bjian's draft stock is climbing...
OU game a non-conference game against a not highly regarded opponent (us) even earlier in the season.
Tim, I don't think you can diminish this great win for the Frogs in Norman against Big Game Bob and Peterson. I think most Frogs would agree. For sure, Ty Gunn would.
yep, that was the ballgame. Horns are exulting over the fact that we knew they were going to run. As Wacker would say, they outhorsed us.

Believe shorten version is..Patterson knew this was coming from Dykes who is a pretty savy coach. Even shorter version? We were outcoached. Turns out SMU is pretty darn good. Who gets credit for that..Dykes. Of course Dykes. Built a winner faster than Gary. Before the end of the season we will be calling for gary to step down. (90% already realize that but respect for Gary and what he has accomplished keep many quiet)

I agree that Dykes is a good coach. I disagree on that he built a winner faster than Gary. Dykes also has had the advantage of the new transfer rules. Without two veteran QB's he would not have had the quick success he has had.
