Surely you understand why that keeps coming up, right? We are saying that they played a team that cares so little about its football program that they didn't even bother building a real college level game day facility. There is relevance in that fact.

That was rather suspicious to me when it was announced Friday night.
The problem I had with Gilmore was his constant referral to TCU falling behind by 14 and then having to hold on at the end.
Yes Rod, but you conveniently forgot to mention that 40-7 TCU run in the middle that erased that early 14 point deficit and provided the cushion that allowed them to hold on.
What about that Rod?

Sure, but not as far as rankings go. Judge the teams on their performance and record, not attendance numbers and stadium appeal. Otherwise you start sounding like any other BCS spinster. There are plenty of crappy teams out there that have great crowds and facilities, the two factors are not necessarily indicative of each other.

No there's not. Is there relevance in the fact that TCU doesn't play in, and sell out an 80-100,000 seat stadium every week, as some people see it?

We had our worst MOV game at the wrong time (later in the season). It's just funny how now Utah is terrible, but they beat the ISU that took top 10 Neb to overtime by 41. Out of sight, out of mind. Our scheduling this year is not good with no big late games.

I'll tell you what would really suck is for either us or Boise to be #4, undefeated, and on the outside looking in while some 4 loss unranked Big East team plays in the Orange Bowl. That's just wrong.

Gary might have to do a Mack Brown and show up at Bristol and politic for our case in the national championship game/BCS game. However I don't see that happening as Gary is not a brown noser, well like Mack Brown "noser".

Was I supposed to type something here?
No. Why should we beg piteously for favor from people who have nothing for us but bitter contempt?
Screw them.
Hold a presser and point out the salient fact that they have been dumping on us from the day they got the BCS contract, and their coverage of us has been colored by monetary considerations, not journalistic integrity. Look, ESPN has all the morals of a Cleveland pimp (and I may be inadvertantly insulting all of Cleveland pimpdom...) and merely pointing it out does us no harm. Hell, it might actually help our cause to point out that the Emperor has no clothes.
ESPN is the lens through which just about everybody is forced to view College Football. It is no secret that there is very little love for their "opinions" in these matters, but nobody is willing to speak up. It is easier to go along and get along. No one wants to make a powerful enemy. Well, they have obviously chosen sides, and I do not believe that we should continue to suffer this treatment in silence.

Rod Gilmore is an idiot. In response to CJ, "4 Trophy Wins, but none dominate...I want them (TCU) consistently dominate." I guess he forgot that those four "trophy wins" were won by 115 points collectively.
Anyone else find it odd that Mr. Fowler also had no air time tonight?

One the other hand it is the same Iowa State team that lost by 20 yesterday to a Colorado team that blew a 28-point 4th quarter lead a week earlier to lose to bottom of the Big 12 barrel Kansas.
