Killerfrogs going after us...

Maybe you some of you on CC have interest in helping these guys get some facts straight.

They got it all wrong.

hard to argue with such blatant blindness and stupidity... If I had time to I would though. What a joke.

It's not really worth my time to educate all 1500 TCU fans about the matter.

They just have sour grapes because they know that without us the conference is irrelevant. Even if they keep on winning no one cares. What a bunch of whiners.

Not sure i follow their logic that it's great for Utah to leave because they are moving on to something better, but since they perceive our move to independence as a step to "irrelevance" then we are somehow the cause of hurting "16" programs and destroying the WAC. Really some naive commentary.



I love the comment from the supposed BYU grad who hates everything about BYU. Sounds like some real sour grapes. I know a lot of BYU grads and not a single one has anything close to the negative feelings this guy has. I do know a few guys that are lukewarm toward byu but they either transferred, failed out or got kicked out. Could it be that one of the football players stole his girlfriend while he was at BYU?

Did TCU even have any fans before 2005? I mean seriously. All this garbage coming from "fans" who can't even sell out their stadium when they're ranked in the top 5. How pathetic is that?

Haha! So true! And now they're going to build a nice new stadium, which they'll be sure to sell out when Reno comes to town. :roll:

The expansion is going to reduce seats so that they can "claim" more sell-outs. The have 3 sellouts since the 1980s, and 2 of them involve Utah schools. I can't freakin' believe that! Pathetic. I guess I'm a hypocrite too since I raised my arm in support of the 12. Oh well, best to know who you stand with then to be standing alone in an empty stadium cheering fast purple herpe telle-tubbies.

I posted on that thread just now as JTtheBrick14. Hope it helps to set them straight.

I had a meeting with one of the Deans of the Marriott School this week. We discussed many issues, among them, how to expand the MBA program, and subsequently pay for it.



Among the salient points we discussed was that to understand BYU's motives, you first have to understand the mission of the Church. That goes for the Business Schol as well as the athletic department.



If Craig Thompson's response to the ESPN deal was "why pay them if you don't have to?" that shows a startling lack of understanding of the value of BYU (or how markets work). TCU, and the rest of the MWC teams, have similar reactions becasue it isn't "fair" to them. In this sense, "fair" means getting what you want. It's easy to go all sour grapes at that time.



Ultimately, I believe this decision was bigger than football. However, it was also the best decision for football. For those who can't see either of those points, no explanation will suffice.
