Why of course, about as good of a chance as me winning the lottery. Is is a game, but Patterson has assembled a very formidable team for the near future, and of course led by Casey Pachall-Brownwood Lion! Should be a decent game. I do think Baylor will be a spoiler.

all gonna hinge on our defensive lines play
patterson has blasted his offensive line all off season and has repeatedly said they are WAY behind schedule, he's also done the same to Pachall many times.

(kind of an obvious no brainer, but) IF TCU's Oline can do just a decent job, i think they win. BUT...if they are behind schedule like it looks like they've been, and you mix that with Pachall being real fresh/inexperienced... we might MIGHT have something cooking

i still think TCU scores in the low 30s and we score in the mid/high 20s

Both were great high school QBs. Remember, they've matched up against each other in high school Pachall's soph season and Griffin's senior season. Griffin got ejected after having two three and outs because he lost his cool, and Pachall's team won, 17-10.

RG should be better at this point in his college career and has two years under his belt. RG might have two years left unless he goes (This is what I am thinking) to the next level after a good showing this year. Money Talks ya know and athletic QBs go early to the NFL or has as of late...Still say Pachall will light it up and beat Baylor and turn out to be a Ryan Mallet (with speed) kind of QB for TCU!!

You haven't been impressed with the job Patterson has done at TCU?! Wow, what is your bar?

And, Look, I like Briles and think he's a pretty good coach, but let's tap the breaks a bit on last year. They beat a decent KSU team and beating UT was an accomplishment, but Colorado was really down. Those are the only 3 wins that look even reasonable. And I probably wouldn't count Colorado. So they beat a decent KSU team and a UT team that was reeling and had their worst season in about 20 years.

They lost to a very average Tech, jumped out to a lead on A&M only to get drilled in the 2nd half at home, OU hung 50+ on them at home, TCU embarrased them and they got drilled in the bowl game.

So while I agree that getting to a bowl game was a good step for them, let's slow down a bit.

TCU has been a top 10 program for the better part of a decade and played in 2 BCS game. Coming from a non-BCS conference - Do you realize how difficult that is? And you're not that impressed with what Patterson has done? All I can say is, wow.

TCU was definately improving under Fran, but what Patterson has done has taken that thing to a whole other level.

And again, let's see what happens here in Baylor. Getting to a bowl was good, but let's see how things play out before we say Briles has 'brought that program back'. There's more to brining the program back than making a bowl appearance once per decade.

You know, one could argue that given the talent Briles has at QB, maybe Baylor has underachieved the last two seasons?

gotta reread, never was i wasnt impressed, i used adverbs with it, "not hugely"....i even agreed with you that patterson was best, i just asked if you really saw the gap between the two as great as you sounded...as far as briles underachieving with his qb, i completely agree, but once dalton gets a chance at the next level, i think were gonna see the same about patterson with his former qb....that guy hasnt shown what he has yet, if you ask me....(which you didnt, lol)...

It's way too early to say that Briles has done anything close to what Patterson has done 'program-wise'.Its really an apples and oranges comparison of these two coaches. Each took over a program that had drastic differences in sucess when each took over.

TCU was a winning team when Patterson took over (8-4 in 99 and 10-2 in 2000). Then Patterson took over before the bowl game in the 2000 season. 1998 TCU was 7-5, 1997 they were 1-10, 1996 were 4-6


The team that Briles took over last winning season was in 95. I think the most wins that Baylor had in one season before Briles was 3 or 4.



One comparison a person would make is it took a special player for each to get to where they are/are heading in terms of success. Those players being LaDainian Tomlinson for the Frogs and Robert Griffin for the Bears.

I dont think when Briles took over Baylor would have rolled through the Mountain West, the program was in pretty bad shape. Baylor's made some big strides but the bowl loss to Illinois still showed there's work to be done.

TCU not going to the Big 12 was the best thing that happened to them as it forced them to re-evaluate things and build from the ground up....TCU didnt fare too well against the cupcakes in 1997 though..they went 1-10..it took them making a coaching change to put the wheels in motion

i hate this argument as it really just shows how bad the baylor adminstration botched their situation the first 10 years of the big 12, but for argument's sake to compare Briles with Patterson I think you can compare the quickness in which Briles turned UH from an 0-11 team to C-USA champs to Patterson's ability to elevate the TCU program to conference contenders quickly...obviously Patterson has done it consistantly year in and year out and Briles left UH so you can't compare that, but as far as turning programs around for the better and bringing them beyond where they were before both have a proven track record...for now i'd say Patterson is the better coach as he has a Rose Bowl title and a couple BCS appearances, but Briles is more than holding his own for now...this year will be telling for Briles to see if he can continue to improve the Bears...hopefully the big 12 stays around long enough for him to show what Baylor really has to offer, but that is out of Briles hands....

I don't mean this to diss Briles, but Patterson didn't just make them 'conference contenders'. They are winning the conference and have gone to back to back BCS bowls!!!

I don't think many of you are appreciating how impressive that feat given that they're in a non-BCS conference! You need to really think about that.

yes, but my point was that Briles left after winning the CUSA title while Patterson stayed so the comparison between the 2 ends there as it is impossible to know what Briles would have done with UH after he left for Baylor...if Briles can get Baylor rebuilt then we can compare if he can be as consistantly good as Patterson...for now I agree, as promising as Briles has been for Baylor (and was at UH) Patterson has the results to say he is the better coach, but that statement is fluid as Briles is not done writing his history at Baylor yet and the same can be said for Patterson and TCU...

Something to consider... both Briles and Patterson are great coaches... the staff, athletes, and Universities behind each are the difference.

well i dont want you to add anymore exclamation points on my account <lol> but some of us outsiders look at them attending these bowls simply by going undefeated in a conference far comparitively weaker than the one baylor plays in as not the feat you seem to feel it is, they won all their games in a weaker league and only then do they get this bcs title that you seem to be wanting to put on the same level as, for instance, an sec school by going through their battles to get there......so while the pay day was good, the road there seems to me to be much less of a feat than the good job they did winning the game....but that could just be me.....

At present, I have to agree with Mac on this one. Not to say that Briles is horse radish, but he still has a way to go. Seems that I remember some lil ole' Boise State taking it to Big Ole Alabama just recently, so lighten the jabs a little. That being said, I do not like the BCS scheme of things anyway, the way to prove who the champion is to line them up and play the game.

Dont Know if anyone mentioned the other 3A talent on this big thread, but TCU also has to LB Tank Carder (Sweeney) and Kicker Ross Evans (Burnet). I say TCU beats em if they keep Griffin contained.

What you say is correct and I would agree if they got to a BCS game and got hammered. However, the beat Wisconsin and finished #2 in the land. I for one have loved to see them get a shot at Auburn.

Good points. I think Griffin will have a good game, but not good enough. TCU's D will be too strong and fast.

me too, i am a huge tcu fan....his point was that tcu proved themselves to be better than baylor simply because they made it to 2 bcs bowls (or one coach proved himself better because of that)....my point was making it undeated to those bcs bowls werent nearly the accomplishment to me as winning once there, and that they had a lesser challenge making it to a bcs bowl with their lack of competition than baylor did making it to a lesser bowl.....

Edna's DJ Yendrey will be starting on the frogs D line. DJ played in every game as a true freshman and last year as a soph he started the last five games. Among TCU returners DJ is second in sacks to Tank and this may be a breakout year for the big guy. Don't find many 6'4" 285lb guys who also ran a leg on a 3A regional sprint relay. DJ can scoot for a big fella.

It was a heck of a game, great game by both Qb's, not so great for the defenses!
