[QUOTE="sous vide, post: 707680, member: 98"] Cirminiello has a reasonably interesting article in CFN. I disagree with his notions about travel especially in the "new" MWC, but everything else is spot on. . . [url="http://cfn.scout.com/2/1026599.html"] link (it's below Fiutak's)[/url] [i]. . .Moreover, TCU has paid its dues over many decades, not only as a proud member of the Southwest Conference, but as one of the schools that helped increase the sport’s popularity in the first half of the 20th century. Much as Notre Dame-Army captured the attention of football fans in the Northeast, TCU’s rivalry with SMU in the 1930s also left an indelible imprint on the sport, inspiring a fellow by the name of Doak Walker to play pigskin for the Ponies in the latter half of the 1940s. College football has owed a debt to TCU ever since the Horned Frogs watched the demolition of their beloved Southwest Conference abode. The program became homeless and wandered the streets as a nomad, getting pulled into the WAC and Conference USA and the Mountain West, only to then find that its place in each of those rickety and roach-infested shacks was no longer viable. Now, TCU has actually managed to be proactive, thanks to the leverage given the school by its football program and coach Gary Patterson. [/i] [/QUOTE]
