re: Is TCU on the SEC short list?

I agree, TCU is likely to end up a cast away like they have in every other conference realignment. We've done better than we should have with the disadvantages we've had, and winning the rose bowl 15 years after being left for dead because of texas politics and doing it with picked-over recruits is a lot more of an accomplishment than what Alabama has done ever, regardless of their 13 mythical championships (many of them NOT legit, some of them as legit as most other national championships in the past 100 years).
In other words being Baylor for 40 years is more impressive than winning a national title about once a decade. Cool.

3-2 in the decade with the 2000 bowl game though. You're a little better than Souther Miss. Grats! Sorry the last 40 years have been rough.
It's cool, we overachieve and won the Rose Bowl and finished #2 in a year where the only other team that went undefeated was using a hired gun. Enjoy perpetually underachieving and winning a legitimate title once every 20 years. You're the yankees of college football. Sleep tight in your double wide.
p.s. Bear Bryant is dead and Nick Saban ain't his reincarnation. The 70s were a long time ago.

I suppose it's nice to have more than moral victories in life. I'd probably rather have 2 championships in 20 years than 40 years as Baylor counting my moral victories.

We won a national title 2 years ago. You lost to Baylor 2 weeks ago.

That's great. In my mind and in many others, TCU won it last year. 1 played 2, 3 played 4. 1 & 2 had ineligible players. 3 beat 4 and finished ranked #2. #1 will eventually be vacated, and that's good enough for me considering the restriction of access.
By the way, I could've gone to Alabama too for college and acted awesome for choosing a storied program. Instead I went somewhere with decent football and better academics. Then decent football became good football and then it became great football the last two years. My program became good after I chose to be a fan. You're no better than the tens of thousands of yankees fans all over the country. It's easy to jump on board and become a fan during success. It's much more gratifying supporting a program while it becomes great. You should try it, but I doubt you have the balls.
p.s. The people from my high school that went to Bama barely graduated high school and are now nobodies, as most Alabama students become, and as most of the people I met later in life that went to Bama became. I'm pretty happy with my choice for college and where I subsequently became a football fan, and I'm especially happy with what the education from there got me.
Enjoy the hum of the window unit in your double wide while you try to sleep tonight. Be sure to tie off to a tree if storms are coming through.

I think 2004 Auburn said that too. Of course it didn't matter.

My family is from Alabama. Should I not be a fan? Should New Yorkers not root for the Yankees. It isn't a bandwagon when you've followed someone your whole life, even when Shula was coaching.

Coming from someone who brags about his level of education, this is a pretty ignorant statement. My grandfather went to TCU so I understand it is a good school, however there are a lot of good schools out there. There are a lot of people with great degrees that do nothing in life. The degree is a lot less important than what you do with it. But it is nice to see that you're proud of yourself.

Texas has 25 million people. I could see us having two Texas teams.

Yeah but Florida drew 65k fans for years before Spurrier while TCU couldn't manage 20k.
