Brilliant minds.
I actually went only to the basketball forum for most of the short afternoon trip. I figured the bowling jokes were much better than the football discussion would be.
Well come on TCU was favored and picked by lots of people to win the big 12, including Chris Williams. I hope we win, or just show some improvement

TCU moves the ball ok, but they struggle to put up points. Their D is not bad. I think they completely shut down our offense, and finally put some points up. ISU's special teams will make some plays, but TCU wins 38-10
No So Fast My Friend....I will take the Clones in an upset on a late field goal .....now let me see...my crystal ball is now clearing up...
Oh here it is.....ISU 24= TCU 21.....Oh I see it now We Win on a late Field Goal.
I'm trying to decide if $500 is worth a Cyclone cover. I don't bet because I always lose that bet. So, taking TCU in this one would probably have ISU losing by a missed field goal late in the game. Still same heartbreak, only it would cost me $500 for a moral victory.
I'm staying away, but if I were a betting man, I'd be putting the farm on TCU this weekend. I say they have their breakout game against us.

I'm trying to figure out how best to explain to my wife that putting the house on TCU is a good idea.
Our offense has no semblance of what it takes to score since that has been so rare.
Throw deep? What is that?
Yards after contact? Hmmm. Maybe?
Red zone? Huskermainia?
Tackling? For Dummies.
Until we get an organized team, we will have problems. The face of the offense needs to change where we can gain three yards on our first running play.
With this offense, we will struggle against Kansas and be lucky to win. KSU was not a good team and it looked like we were playing the '85 bears defense out there on Saturday. We've struggled to move the ball against everyone we've played. I don't see TCU or Kansas changing that. We may move it better than normal, but I still say we are lucky to score 21 points in either of those games.
Surprised the line has only moved 1/2 point in two days. (TCU now a 7.5 favorite)
I feel like Clones really do have a chance in this one. Since TCU's offense is nearly as inept as ours, it will only take 1-2 lucky breaks in this game (turnovers, big special teams plays, etc.) to win, whereas the last few games it would have taken something like the 9 turnover Nebraska game.

as bad as they are...TCU defense is miles ahead of our crap.
Frogs win and win comfortably. I hope for something different since I will be there....but will not happen.

That was pre Pachall's return. We will see a totally different offense from TCU on Saturday.
