Preference: Fame or Riches

Post by Florwood »

Which do you prefer?

TCU wins out, represents in the BCS, and brings the MWC and BYU a boatload of money.

TCU loses to Utah, and when BYU beats Utah it shares in a conference championship.

In my personal life I'd prefer riches with no fame; for BYU I prefer a co-championship with less money. We already got our athletic dept. payday in Dallas.

I can't stand rooting for the ewe, and I'd rather the BCS buster be from the MWC than the lowly WAC. Even if we share the conference championship, we still got our butts handed to us for the second time in a row by the horny toads. I dunno, tough call, but I probably just want TCU to win out at this point and us to take second place, and 11-2 with a win in our bowl game.

Riches. A team that loses AT HOME twice by 30 points doesn't deserve a trophy.

I really don't like to play TCU, but I'm a huge TCU fan now. I think they have all the tools to beat the rest of the MWC handily. I hope they get a shot at a big name in the BCS like Utah did last year, because I think they have the SOS to jump BSU in the BCS poll by the end of the year.

Actually TCU has now past BSU and it will stay that way unless they lose. They look just as good as the yewts last year did. The goal is to get an auto invite. Well if the conference keeps busting the party then it should happen. I don't know if it will though.

Take the money. It could help future recruiting and improve our chances to get a bid down the road. It is a no brainer.

After what I saw yesterday, I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter which I prefer. The ewets have no chance against this team, especially in Ft. Worth.

I really thought the Cougs would make a game of it against TCU - Bam!! I was wrong! I think TCU will "roll" them Yewts hard - they are that good. The total package. I also believe - to add salt to the wound - the Y will beat them Yewts.

I want TCU to bust the BCS & smash their opponent.
