FWST: Is a win over Oklahoma enough to salvage TCU’s season?

[tyler durden]

Pretty hard to FORCE any coach into such ideas. There will be NO firings this year. (pretty good source)
Esp if they're showing improvement and are.

And if he is like Gary in his blind devotion to poor quality assistants he will go the same way, too.

News to you dinosaur coaches: that’s not how it works anymore.

 

[Limey Frog]

Yes.

No. A win vs. Texas might have been.

Plus second half against Texas. Also Cincy is the worst this season.

Right. Because of the way we played against a horrendous Baylor team, and one half against UT, we’re beating OU.

Makes sense.

Right because of how we played a few weeks ago with a new freshmen QB stepping in rather than going off the recent upward trend. OK.

I have nothing to go on objectively, but I feel a win coming in my gut over OU.

I know it was just a lousy Baylor. But if it was just the fact that Baylor was lousy, I think the score would have been a bit tighter. It really seems like 2nd half of the Texas game something has finally "clicked."

So if we do beat OU and get a chance to win a bowl game, given the "clicking" of the team, I don't know if I would say the season was salvaged, but I would say it had a happy ending and that we're set for next season.

Gotta tighten up the secondary. Baylor dropped or missed on at least 3 deep balls that could've gone to the house. Let's hope the Frogs are solid in all phases. Our toughest test of the year and on a short week, on the road, and an opponent that has hope of winning a conference championship.

If they hit those two early ones it is a much-different game.

The first bomb hit the receiver right in the breadbasket, and he dropped it.

 

[KTown Frog]

The last day game (11:00 kick) in Norman turned out well for the frogs. Didn’t realize that all the games there have been night games since joining the big 12.

I was there. It was a glorious day

 

[fanatical frog]

OU is as beatable as UT was.

Yep. For a fact. BYU was two yards away from a probable game deciding score against OU when they threw a pick six instead. OU played a great game with a miraculous comeback against Texas...other than that, they struggled in most of their games. They are beatable.

 

[Boomhauer]

A glorious day indeed. We were sitting in a sea of crimson and after they went right down the field and scored to start the 2nd half (thanks to Adrian Peterson) the sooner fans in front of us turned around and yelled “you’re about to witness some Sooner Magic!” Haha. Fun times.

Salvage the season? No. Stupid question anyway. A win over OU would, however, be a great way to end the regular season. Then a win in whichever second tier bowl against another underachieving team would put us on a much higher note than where we are right now…and that would be good. A winning season is better than a losing season, right?
Is it likely that we beat OU in Norman when they have so much riding on the game, too?
Not likely. But, if their QB is hurt and a few breaks fall our way this time, it is possible? Sure…and wouldn’t that be great?!!

GO FROGS!
BEAT THE LAND THIEVES!
Spit Blood ~~<~<and frogk baylor!!

 

[Frognosticator]

We have outscored opponents 65-20 in the last 6 quarters of play.

Let’s keep the trend going.

And yes, a win against OU in their last Big XII game to keep them from the Big XII championship game would be a great way to end the regular season, and salvage a bowl game from a disappointing season.

Since I'm a big fan of compartmentalization, here is my success meter:

Fantastic Season: winning them all
Successful Season: winning all the games we are favored in and some of the ones we were not.
Predictable Season: winning all the games we are favored in and none of the games we were not
Pathetic Season: Losing any games we were favored to win.

Based on the above a win over OU still makes the season Pathetic.

So if we had gone 11-1 but lost to West Virginia or BYU, you’d consider that “pathetic”?

Damn.

I fear OU going to light us up- it’s a statement game for them. I may be there - OU friends taunting me with a ticket to go to the game with them. They all have a chip on them from last year. Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
