TCU remembers, I remember….
TCU remembers, I remember…

I remember what it was like for my beloved Frogs to be on the outside looking in. We had to watch as Baylor followed the “cool kids” to the Big12, to a better life. I remember watching TCU over-perform in the Mountain West. I remember fearing only one team every season, BYU.

I never hated them. I respected them. Like a sibling, an equal.

Then Texas’ ego rips the Big12 apart. TCU gets their big break. I loved the conference so much, TCU’s new home. But I had to watch as OU and TX held the conference back from thriving, refusing to expand back to 12 again.

Every step of the way I wanted the league to get back to 12 teams. It was humiliating, being called BigXII but only having 10 teams. I wanted the very best of who was available. It was soooo obviously BYU. BYU fans deserved better. Just like TCU fans did before… (TCU fans and BYU fans understand each other in a way that Baylor never could.) But it never happened. Then I heard the news. Texas and OU are out. I thought my beloved conference was dead. Killed by the feckless leadership that simply WOULDN’T ACT.

In my wildest dreams I could have never imagined how amazing things turned out. BYU gets added. The Big12 gets to keep existing, even get a little respect. And wowzers, our commish is everything I could have ever hoped for, no one will accuse him of failing to act.

Moving forward, I’m excited that the conference is FULL of teams who have been through fire together, one way or another. I’ll NEVER hate one of the 11 other teams who pulled together to help our conference become something I can finally call home. We might fight each other on the field, but ultimately it’s us against the world. I’m pulling for my conference mates ALL THE WAY. Let’s go!
