lol.....MSU won 11 games and they won't even make a BCS bowl.
A couple plays changed the game early. The Denard fumble on that long third down in the red zone, and that kickoff return right after we made it 10-7 (there was an illegal block in the back that sprung that play, but the refs missed it....). After that it was a snowball effect. It's a shame. We thoroughly outplayed them in the first quarter. Getting only 7 points out of it was what killed us.
Iowa's loss to Minnesota makes things interesting for our bowl prospects, though. 4, maybe 5 7-5 Big Ten teams means we could end up in Florida on New Year's Day after all.
DALLAS -- TCU has accepted a bid to the Big East Conference, which will take effect July 1, 2012, according to sources familiar with the deal. The school has set a news conference for 1 p.m. CT on campus to make "a major announcement involving the TCU athletics program."
A source confirmed the move to ESPN.com's Joe Schad Monday as well.
Big East commissioner John Marinatto and associate commissioner in charge of communications John Paquette flew to Dallas on Sunday in advance of the announcement, according to a New York Daily News story earlier Monday.
The school's release said athletic director Chris Del Conte would be present at the news conference along with school chancellor Victor Boschini.
The conference change allows TCU to play in an automatic BCS-qualifying league beginning in the 2012-13 school year. TCU currently plays in the Mountain West Conference, which does not have an automatic bid to the BCS and is going through some changes of its own. BYU and Utah are leaving the conference just as Boise State enters.
TCU would become the Big East's ninth football team. The conference has extended an invitation to Villanova to become its 10th football member.
TCU is 12-0 and ranked No. 3 in the BCS. The Frogs are at the very least headed to the Rose Bowl. But if Auburn or Oregon slip up this weekend, TCU is poised to play for a national title.
The Frogs might not have been headed to a BCS game without Boise State's loss Friday night in overtime at Nevada. Had the Broncos remained undefeated, there was a distinct possibility that the Broncos could have passed TCU in the BCS standings and been the only non-automatic qualifier school to get into one of the top-level bowls.
Hear that? That's the sound of Marc jumping off the Texas bandwagon now that they missed a bowl game.
Hell naw bitch. LONGHORN 4 LYFE MO FUCKA! But it's about god damn time we got ourselves a football team that means something. $5 first year they play better then Michigan.
They're playing weaker competition, so whether they have a better record or not is irrelevant. Still gotta wait a couple years to even think about bowl games. :P

Not really
Yes, really. You don't join the WAC until 2012 son.
From the looks of it mr. Jithinkiknowitall. We may have to join as soon as 2011 since the WAC may need another team so they can have a title game. Now I not saying we will get there, but we have a shot starting next year SO HA >: O

Hell yes, new stadium and a new (much better) coach. Can't wait for next season!
