TCU analysis and picks

TCU burnt me last week. Actually, I burnt myself because I placed the wager on those fools. II sat 4 rows behind their bench. Kansas could have won that game and deserved too. They were fired up the entire game while TCU seemed nonchalant. Probably a little cocky and took Kansas for granted. The bitter cold looked like it bothered them more than KU but that is no excuse. Coach Patterson is a stud. He was bare handed the whole game-no gloves! TCU finally got serious and perked up the last 10 or so minutes when it looked like they might get beat. After they finally came around the small TCU crowd started chanting TCU!  TCU! TCU!  Before that-never heard a peep from them.They just did not look like a potential championship team. No enthusiasm or energy. which was in contrast to Kansas who stood side by side in one big long line most of the game.A good rushing team with big linemen will punish TCU. Their defense line was small. I was surprised, Offense was decent and no doubt if they were playing in a warm climate on turf they would have performed better. Turnovers hurt them and KU cashed in on those. Kansas just does not have any firepower but these guys play tough and do not quit.I think the Frogs are overrated rated. A top ten team perhaps but not #4 when they came into that game. If you want a good laugh look at their mascot. The ugliest I have ever seen. Remember the Star Trek movie a few years ago where Scotty was at that outpost and had that small creature pet/friend? That is the Horned Frog mascot. Google them you will laugh your ass off.

This week I like Oklahoma at home to cover -25 against Kansas. And tomorrow Buffalo -7 against lowly Kent State. Buffs are aiming for a bowl game.
