One game does not make a dynasty. TCU was good last year, and very lucky. But beating TCU doesn’t make coach prime a genius.

Definitely.  Like I said on the other thread, this is a TCU team that is expected to finish middle of the pack in the B12.  8-4 or 7-5 is where folks thought they'd end up.

this weeks game vs Nebraska should be very interesting
They won't let me give blood anymore. The burnt orange color scares the hell out of the doctors.

Yeah I agree, that's always been his brand, and it doesn't bother me.

Although it does seem odd and somewhat insulting that he's acting like he's the first black coach in college football history. Right now, he hasn't even accomplished as much as Kevin Sumlin or Charlie Strong, much less a legend like Eddie Robinson. 


Yeah, but it's just pride and confidence - a nothng burger.  

Some people may choose to see it as a problem, but we call them Karens and it doesn't actually affect them in any possible way.

The outcome has shifted perceptions that CP would be a total bust.  I'd say not a lot of folks think he'll turn out OK to pretty decent.  They already matched the win total for last season.

I didn't watch the TCU game but heard reports that is was more of a 7 on 7 contest

hopefully, the Husker d-coordinator can slow their passing game down

hope in one hand, shit in the other. have a feeling Nebraska is going to get blown off the field. they don't have the athletes to match up with what Colorado has at WR or when they use that freshman speed demon RB on screens/swings or put him in the slot...and that is dangerous af for a defense when you have legit stud at QB pulling the trigger in Deion's kid.

Nebraska is going to get blown off the field imo. won't be pretty.

If they end up 9-3 it'll be notable I think.  I'd guess more like 7-5, which is better than most would have thought preseason.

one game vs a Big 12 defense and they've been anointed?
That was not the same TCU team that beat Michigan

They seem able to score in bunches at least against a possibly weaker defense.

speed kills

they may have enough speed to simply run past most defenses

time will tell

Nebraska doesn't have a great defense so it could be a long day for them

Half way through watching the Colorado-TCU game.  I’m impressed with how Colorado is playing.  Their skill position players on offense are very good.  I think its safe to say Colorado is going to be much better than many of us thought.  Amazing job by Coach Sanders.  They have a tough schedule but seem up to the challenge,
