And Then There Was TCU . . .

And then there was TCU playing in the Fiesta Bowl touting themselves as potential National Champions only to be beaten by Boise State. So long to perfect season and so long to going undefeated. They lost.

I wonder how that female reporter for the Fort Worth Sun Telegram feels now. She was bad mouthing BCS and cheering on her TCU Horned Frogs. Now she can slink home again and curl up to face the music. What music? A funeral dirge maybe.

While I think TCU had a very good team, even a great team (and they seemed to think the same thing about themselves), they were not a National Champion calibre team. Teams like Texas and Alabama have to much more talent than TCU. Yes, TCU did much with their resources but it was not enough to reach the mighty heights of a National Championship. They were on the cusp, but not there so to speak.

Maybe next year (the same call we all make).
