Let's play guess how many times in a row TCU has lost to A&M in football and what year was the last TCU victory

Bonus points if you name the president that was in office

You honestly don't think that WVU would have won the Big12 North a few times, and at least one Big12 championship since its formation in the mid nineties?

Cut it off at 1970, then yeah, probably. If 1960, then the orange vs navy or sugar vs Florida.

I expect Mizzou to do about the same as they are now...I expect WVU and/or TCU to take a dive due to increased competition.

No way. We've already established that WVU had to deal with juggernauts like Pitt and Penn State. Mizzou had it easy with clowns like Nebraska and OU.

Do you remember how bad ISU, Kansas, K-State , and Colorado were back in the big 8? That is some sweet victory padding back in the day.

Syracuse was pretty darn tough for a long time in the Big East. Remember that Miami, BC, and a surging VT were in the Big East?

And they've been playing in a shite conference


This. The Big-12 has been so much better than the Big East over the last 15 years, it isn't even funny. WVU has been the big fish in a small, Syracuse-sized pond while Mizzou has been playing in a conference with three of the top teams in college football (OU, NU, UT, etc.). The differnce is that WVU has been at the top of their game (under RRod) while Mizzou still has a lot of potential. Look at their recruiting base alone. Are there more NFL prospects in St. Louis (350K) and Kansas City (450K) or Charleston (50K) and Huntington (49K)?

I just think Mizzou is a much better pick. Not that I wouldn't want WVU down the road--it's still a decent program--but I think Mizzou is the smart pick.

Penn State was just out of conference. Check my next post for who they really HAD to play every year, dumbass.

Answer 24 straight Aggie wins over TCU. Last TCU win was in 1972. They were left out of the B12 for a reason

They can't compete with the big boys

I wonder if those early 2000s Miami teams that kicked the shite out of the Bug 12 Champions were in the big east. Oh, that's right, they were.

My whole point is that these two football programs aren't that much different. Just because west va has been tearing up the big east while missouri hasn't been doing that to the big 12, doesn't make them that much of a better program than mizzou.

Your argument lies on forner Big East schools?

The B12 has been the 2nd best BCS conference in the BCS era. The Big XII and SEC actually have the same number of BCSCG appearances. The SEC is undefeated though while the B12 is 2-5 I believe.

Other conferences lack far behind

Big-12 has had 3 NCs in football since the conference was formed. The Big Least had one, and that team left seven years ago.

I'm sorry, I'm having a difficult time processing Horns mixing with Mountaineers.

Winning big games against a team that Missouri can't overtake in its own conference, kinda does.

Hell, actually playing in, and winning BCS games does separate them.

If not, how do we separate teams?
