1. TCU has a helluva team (Baylor does not). That TCU team I saw on Saturday was scary good and hitting on more than all eight cylinders. Not an expert, but they'd give anyone a run for their money and then some.
2. The tailgate situation around Amon Carter is very good and a neat atmosphere. Not "big time" like Texas or the SEC, but really enjoyable and nothing beats an on campus stadium. Great place to take in a football game, especially if you're a Frog fan.
3. Heard that the same architect who did Camden and the Ballpark has designed the renovations they'll begin in Amon Carter immediately after the last home game. I like the stadium as is, so they're definitely taking it to another level.
4. I went to Baylor, so I am versed in the concept of lameness but I think there are few things as lame as watching the masked rider of Texas Tech atop her raging black stallion holding up not a Colt .45 but a little finger thumb gesture thingee. God, how pathetic. I don't care if you had to break off the firing pin and plug the cylinder in front of a Texas Ranger, at least ride with a goddamn pistol or don't ride at all. Also, even their statue on campus of the rider has that guns up hand gesture instead of the real thing. Lame. Beyond lame. Lameapalooza. How they live with the shame of this I'll never know unless it's all the drinking and whoring which on second thought I guess makes it all okay.
5. Jeffcoat 2.0 is a man. Unless he's crippled or goes wilding through the Theta house, he's going to inflict a high level of misery on opposing offenses for some time to come.
