[QUOTE="HornedFroginAustin, post: 3305011, member: 70255"] In response to the comment that SMU would have dropped us during the Pony Express day, you are comparing apples to oranges. During the Pony Express years, we were in the same conference. They could not drop us. TCU worked for years to dig themselves out of a hole when the Big 12 was formed. Our hard work should not be utilized to benefit a team that has done very little to improve their team. If the roles were reversed and SMU had spent the time and money digging out of a hole, while we had done very little and we were in different conferences, do not think for a moment that they would opt not to play us. They would do what was in their best interest. I would much rather play a team from the old MWC. The MWC was the best conference that we were in prior to the Big 12. Those teams and our play are what finally pushed us to the next level. I remember being at the last Colorado State game. One of the fans came up to me and said, "good luck. We hate that you are leaving because you are good for the conference. But we understand and would do the same. I will be a Colorado State fan that supports you in your new conference." The MWC also catapulted our new conference member Utah into a P5. I would like to show a little more love to those schools. [/QUOTE]
