I Say TCU Is No. 1

Damn right, I said it. And I can say it because I saw it.

The San Diego State Aztecs lost Saturday afternoon to the No. 1 team in the country. You think I care what the polls say? You think it bothers me that every so-called expert in the nation would disagree with me?

To them, and to the rest of the college football world, I would say this: prove it. And you know what? They wouldn’t be able to do so.

The TCU Horned Frogs (now 9-0) are No. 1 because of everything they displayed at Qualcomm Stadium in dismantling Brady Hoke’s improved Aztecs, 55-12.

Talent was not the deciding factor in this game. It seemed as if Northern Colorado wanted to win more than we did. That might be most evidenced in the fact that they showered their coach with a cooler full of Gatorade after the game. The New York Giants started the postgame tradition by dousing head coach Bill Parcells after winning a Super Bowl, and Northern Colorado emulated this celebration after defeating us.

July 15, 2009

ShareAs unlikely as it may sound now, at some point SDSU football could be in line to fight for a BCS berth.  Wouldn’t it be nice if they had a fair fight on their hands?  Mountain West Conference commissioner Craig Thompson attempted to battle for changes to the BCS this offseason, but eventually agreed to [...]
