Edit 3: For clarification, you only have had one "major" bowl win during your lifetime, and it's marginal at best. The 1985 Cotton Bowl. Fortunately you're not younger than 28 because then you really would have absolutely no argument for having had a bowl win of any importance in your lifetime.

1. We weren't in the 1985 Cotton Bowl. We beat Auburn in the 1986 Cotton Bowl.

2. We beat Notre Dame in the 1988 Cotton Bowl. Maybe you forgot. That was the one in which Tim Brown got his towel stolen by one of the 12th Man kickoff members.

3. I guess the 65-14 win in the 1990 Holiday Bowl against #9 BYU and Heisman Trophy winner Ty Detmer doesn't qualify as a major bowl win either.

4. In my lifetime, we've never lost a bowl game to a Big Ten team not named Ohio State or Penn State.

5. In my lifetime, TCU has played 7 bowl games against BCS conference schools. They won 2.

The fact of the matter is simple: In my lifetime, TCU was a marginal at best Southwest Conference team. When they had to play in a conference that wasn't the WAC or Mountain West, they went 7-5. Hard to get 10-12 wins a year when you don't play New Mexico, Colorado State, UNLV, and Wyoming every year. To your credit though, you finally ended all the talk about how blue turf was unbeatable in Boise, ID.

That's a dumbass statement, and you know it. As was said multiple times last night, we were playing with both the most true freshmen and redshirt freshman in all of FBS. This team is in no way comparable to any team that we have had since 2004.

Our redshirt freshman QB had two days notice that he was suddenly the starter over our QB who going into week 4 was on several watch lists, and Boykin then proceeded played awful in 3 games not including last night. If Pachall wasn't such a fricking drunk (and as a result we had a QB who didn't overthrow wide open receivers by 10 yards on seven different occasions last night), we would've easily won last night, an we wouldn't have lost to Iowa State, Texas Tech, and probably not Oklahoma State or Oklahoma (we lost by 7 to OU and couldn't put together a late drive with our inexperienced QB).

If you think this season is indicative of the true capability of our program, you're an absolute dumbass. I won't give you benefit of the doubt (because, after all, you are an Aggie) but I think you're probably just being deliberately obtuse. That being the case, I'm not going to continue repeating myself in trying to educate you. And I won't continue to read your lengthy diatribes about how we sucked in the 70s, 80s, and 90s; which I've already conceded.

Good luck against OU--we'll see if you guys can beat a quality team who is rested and not half beaten to death and vulnerable like Alabama was after the LSU game.
