#Texas Christian

Few things in life are close enough to perfect that trying to improve upon them has been well established as folly. The first sip of good whiskey after five minutes in crushed ice. The precise chord progression in the first two signature bars of a great song. The inimitable sound of ocean waves breaking on shore. Trying to revise or expand on them…

Kirby Smart walked into the SoFi Stadium coach's room after Georgia's 65-7 rout of Texas Christian in Inglewood, California, on Monday night. And Smart saw his 10-year-old son, Andrew, bawling. "I'm like, 'Oh no, somebody's hurt his feelings,'" Smart said. "Somebody's thrown him down or done something to him. I said, 'Why are you crying? You're…

After streaming a flick the other night - "Kimi" on HBO Max, pretty nifty technothriller - the realization came I hadn't watched but a couple of plays in the Wake Forest/ Mizzou Gasparilla Bowl. Not that I gave a lump of coal about the game or who won. Yet then realized how different this year's Bowl Season has been. Something's been missing. Yes.…

It would be tough to find a better turnaround story in college football than Max Duggan, the Texas Christian quarterback who started the season on the bench and is now attracting Heisman Trophy hype. Duggan is the main reason the Horned Frogs are 6-0, ranked No. 8 and tied atop the Big 12 standings. The senior has completed 69.5% of his passes…

With the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I College Football regular season coming to a close, the College Football Playoff is fast approaching.

Once the college football coaching carousel starts spinning, it's difficult to handicap the effect that has on players. There are final scores at this time of the season that look curious upon first glance but make more sense with the benefit of hindsight once the coach leaves for another school. For example, last season news leaked that Southern…

For USC football, what does being "back" mean? The definition differs by program and in the eye of the beholder. At Texas, for instance, being "back" has become a national punchline among plugged-in, meme-happy fans - to the point that the Longhorns nearly losing to Iowa State in Austin on Saturday meant they are "back" just as much as them…

The Michigan Wolverines will do battle with the Purdue Boilermakers in the Big-10 Championship Game this weekend without Blake Corum.

The junior running back and Doak Walker finalist attempted to give it a…

Wow did a lot happen during Week 12 of college football. Rivalry week did not disappoint after four top ten teams lost in their final regular season game of the year. The biggest game of them all was "The Game." Michigan went into The Horseshoe and ripped Ohio State's heart out, knocking the Buckeyes out of the Top 4. Now it's time to dissect what…

Lieutenant James Gordon said it of Batman in "The Dark Knight": "He's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now." Oklahomans should feel the opposite of Lincoln Riley. He's not the hero Soonerville deserves, but he's the one it needs right now. Soonerville and all of college football. Riley, the villain of all villains in OU…

The First (Annual?) Gary Patterson Bowl goes down in Austin. Two questions will define No. 4 TCU at No. 18 Texas, one far more important than the other. First, who will be more satisfied in victory: TCU, moving to 10-0 with a team comprised of largely the same pieces of the 2021 Patterson-led team that went 5-7 with a win over Gary Patterson, or…

The best Halloween costumes are the ones about a current event. This year, that means sports fans showing up to the office costume contest dressed as a depressed Yankees fan, or if they're really creative, maybe a fish with weights stuffed in their belly like the ones discovered at the weigh-in of that fishing competition. Iowa is showing up to the…

A bettor once advised that October was the best time to find live underdogs in college football. The reason? Midterm exams. The theory went that student-athletes are busy studying for an economics test rather than the game plan for Saturday. As a result, teams were more vulnerable, especially those that relied heavily on younger players. I'm not…

The No. 17 Texas Christian Horned Frogs, led by quarterback Max Duggan, meet the No. 19 Kansas Jayhawks, led by quarterback Jalon Daniels, in an NCAA Week 6 Big 12 college football game on Saturday, October 8, 2022 (10/8/2022) at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium in Lawrence, Kansas.

While the Syracuse Orange are already ranked in both the Coaches' (21) and AP (22) Polls, Head Coach Dino Babers has his own thoughts on where he wants the program to be this year. During his press conference last week, when SU was at No. 25 in the Coaches' Poll, Babers had this to say: "(The Top 25) means a little bit. When I was growing up, it…

Waking up on the second Saturday in October used to mean wishbone football at the Cotton Bowl with national championship implications. It was Ricky Williams and Adrian Peterson and arguing over who was the better Roy Williams, the one who caught passes for Texas or the pile-diving "Superman" who played at Oklahoma. But Saturday's Red River Showdown…

First, Kansas routed Tennessee Tech 56-10. Tennessee Tech is neither Tennessee nor Texas Tech, but still. Popping a Division I-AA team is what any self-respecting Power Five Conference football team should do. For the Jayhawks, that's improvement. Then Kansas stunned West Virginia 55-42 in overtime, in Morgantown, no less. The Mountaineers are down…
