TCU 2011 Outlook– the Schedule
The Frogs open 2011 with a pair of very similar road games. Both come against familiar foes—Baylor has played TCU three times since 2006, including last year's "game" in Fort Worth. Air Force has been a conference opponent for seven years running. Both opponents feature senior quarterbacks,...
2011 San Diego State Outlook
For the first time in as long as I've been paying attention to college football, San Diego State's questions and worries are not centered on its running game. Rather, its attention is focused on new starters on the sideline, not the field. Five new coaches are on the scene following Brady Hoke's...
Spring Questions
A few key questions that TCU and each of its D-1A opponents look to answer this spring. Air Force- Will Ken Lamendola, out for most of two seasons with injuries, reclaim a starting role at linebacker? And who's going to replace Reggie Rembert and Anthony Wright in the secondary? Baylor- Skipping...
Recruiting Tidbits
Kibbles and bits about the freshly inked classes of recruits of TCU and its opponents: Air Force is an out-of-state school that flexes the Texas connection better than most of the others. Its 13 Texan signees (caveat: because AFA signees must jump through more than the usual number of hoops...
Mountain West 2010 Retrospective: The Middle’uns
Air Force, San Diego State, and BYU each beat all of the four bottom feeders in the conference. What San Diego State, BYU, and Air Force could not do was beat TCU or Utah, and that is what made them all "middle'uns" in 2010. AFA and SDSU would tell you they also both beat BYU, but the record...

Wrap up: in 2010 the Frogs got the monkey off their back
Way back on September 2nd (only in football does three months a few days seem way back) the Wimple offered, as a public service, five reasons to curb our collective enthusiasm for the newborn football season. Relax, was the message: 2009 rocked, and there're a lot of good reasons to expect 2010,...
TCU 40, San Diego State 35
For five and a half minutes, Frog fans (46,694 of 'em) wondered if the occasional ghastly prediction of a post-Utah letdown wasn't so far-fetched after all. At the 9:16 mark, TCU had managed -13 yards of offense, and were already 14 points behind the surging Aztecs. But the tide already had...
