This is like Baylor all over again. Beating us has turned into the super bowl for some teams.
Perhaps TCU Fans Can Clarify

Very fair comments. When you're the visitor you should have respect for their house. I wasn't able to attend so I can't really comment, but it does sound stupid on SMU's part.
As far as JJ, I wouldn't label him with shomething like "classy" I would say he's professional, which can be both good and bad. SMU fans would love to see a little more emotion out of him, but he's all business all the time.
From the DMN:
"Jones had made references to TCU believing in its system and not changing much (nothing I heard, by the way, that was ever meant as anything but a compliment. Jones said after the game that SMU wants to be like TCU. Think something maybe was misconstrued here).
Asked after the game about TCU, Jones said: "Gary's a good man. He's a good guy. We want to be like this. We want a stadium like this...they made that decision [to commit to football] 10, 14 years ago when he came. I think this will really help us get some of the things that we need done.""
Jones sounds like a real a-hole here.

Whatever it was that set Patterson off, the Ponies better get it figured out and try and make amends before the next Big East Expansion Committee meeting! If Patterson is serious, interest in having SMU join the Big East will dissipate faster than a fart in a hurricane. :unsure:

Only thing I recall reading in the DMN Sunday from Jones was him saying something along the line of "We beat TCU,they were number 20,now we should take their spot in the rankings".I think they actually wound up getting like 5 votes?

What kind of guy is named June?:biggrin:

If June Jones really said these complimentary things about Patterson and TCU after the game on Saturday, then Patterson was definitely out of line. A black eye for TCU, IMO.

Great, thanks for your opinion. You can leave now.
Also, if June Jones didn't sport XXL Tommy Bahamas, he would look like a fat a**. As it is, his gut sticks out further than Pattersons

A half-truth. TCU enrollments were consistently increasing before the recent peak in football success. We've seen record application rates for 9 of the last 10 years. Given that athletics are a major marketing tool for the university, football success has certainly contributed substantially to that -- but that's a far cry from saying it's all "attributed to the football teams success."

I noticed that on TV Saturday. To steal an old line from Moe Howard,'He has TB,two bellies!"

Not only that, it's hard to understand how others have "figured out" our 4-2-5 when, so far this season, our young, green players haven't yet executed the TCU version of the 4-2-5. Simply lining up in a 4-2-5 formation isn't the same thing as "playing the 4-2-5."

Jesus, give Patterson some credit here. Do you really think that "A Boy Named June" was only complimentary of TCU, and Patterson just went out of his way to rant about him?
Patterson is a level headed guy, he's not just gonna go off on another coach who went out of his way to compliment us. My guess is CGP knows something you don't.
It annoys me when people on the outside (with little to no actual knowledge of a situation) judge people on the inside for the decisions they make.
And yes, I realized you qualified your statement with "if"

Never. When was the last time you responded to the whole statement instead of just half of it? I mean, did you miss this part?

Personally I think anyone who uses GPs name like that should be banned. Talk about classless. Say he is a jerk if you want, but resorting to offensive name calling is low.

Guarantee you those are at least 3X. June looks pregnant.
