Talk about your "Thrill of victory and agony of defeat..."
Call it the miracle in Tulsa, call it Coach Graham (or, as Rice affectionately knows him: Coach Douche) not knowing how to properly align to defend an onside kick. Call it whatever you want, but don't forget that the Cougars now control their C-USA destiny. They didn't deserve to move up in the polls (13th is about right) but they shouldn't move down either.
I'm not a fan of the B(C)S, but at least they got TCU right on this one. Sorry Boise, but there has to be a price to pay for playing one of the weakest schedules known to man. True, you can't control your conference, but playing UC Davis, Miami (OH) and Tulsa? TCU is the better team. Sorry.
This is what happens to Texans fans, you start to buy in and they break your heart. Still, they're on schedule for the record that most (credible) experts had them pegged at before the season started. 8-8 or 9-7 is about where this mediocre group is going to wind up. They're not "one step away" and they're not "about to turn the corner". They're average, period end of story. *The questions after the season should focus on what Kubiak's ceiling is.
Say what you want about horse racing....Zenyatta's performance in the Breeder's Cup Classic was one for the ages. Now, about that showdown with Rachel Alexandra?
