Nope. I hate the Big 10 but I don't want a team in our conference winning a Championship and get more exposure for themselves.

My wife knows how much I hate the Big 10 and is really confused why I was cheering for Michigan.

Wait, he hit the top of his helmet to the helmet, neck, and shoulder pad to a defender sitting with his back to the defender. I love TCU and HATE Michigan, but I have no idea what you're saying.
He hit his helmet on the back of the shoulder pads directly between the shoulder blades. Right in the back of the runner. Not a defenseless player. Not to the Head or Neck. Not with excessive force, maybe lunging, but again, several metrics do not activate unless it is a defenseless player. And again it was to the middle of his shoulders not his head or neck.

TCU has been above average / solid pretty much every year they have been in the Big 12 and I don't expect them to be some unstoppable juggernaut by potentially winning a natty. I think the exposure for the Big 12 winning a natty (especially with OU and UT leaving) is priceless to attract more high caliber recruits for the entire league. There is a stigma that the Big 12 is bottom tier when we are easily ahead of the Pac 12 and ACC. TCU making noise helps the conference solidify as the 3rd best conference.

Yeah I'm serious. I prefer our conference opponents not get more exposure that will result in them getting even better players.
hahaha , the conference was on the verge of getting blown up due to no post season success. Bama wining all those post games shot up the SEC to the top the last decade and now all the top recruits want to play in the SEC, even for bad teams. It is very important for a conference to have post season success, one is money and the other is to stay relevant.

Behind you
You are definitely unhappy about Michigan losing... don't lie. You've been backing them all night.

So are you allowed to throw a forward pass after a fumble? Not sure about that rule? Also, there was no flag thrown for targeting, so if it were ruled targeting, I'm not sure the penalty on the field is enforced since a flag was never thrown.... just the player gets ejected.... is that right?

I'd hate to be a team crying about losing because of a couple bad calls when you gave up 51 points.... that would be embarrassing.
I've been "backing them all night"? Lol. Link?

Happy to see UM lose and McCaffrey get humbled. If you don't believe that, whatever. I do think they got screwed on the TD catch and the targeting but UM would've needed to score on the last drive and I don't think they would have.

It's the same reason why I didn't want Baylor or TT winning the basketball championship in the last few years.

I get what you're saying. But right now the Big12 needs wins like this to remain relevant in the national storylines. Continuation of the conference is just as important as ISU winning football games.

Are you serious , the national Media thinks the big 12 is a Joke , after OU losing all those play off games. Nice revenge by TCU who they kept out of the playoffs to win one and show the Big 12 is real. In the post season, the only teams you should be rooting for is the Big 12 teams.
The Big 12 after texa$ and Oklahoma, no less! It's really a headscratcher how someone can't see this is a good thing for the 7 other remaining schools and the 4 new teams. Yes, it benefits TCU the most obviously, but you're not going to get exposure by playing against teams that are seen as incapable of winning it all, let alone any CFP games at all.

It's self-explanatory.
