Yesterday I was talking to a friend who graduated from UT and I mentioned that as much as I would like for her alma mater to win tomorrow, I was rooting for an upset because that would propel my Horned Frogs into the National Championship game. She kind of chuckled and commented, "I'm not sure that TCU could hang with the big boys. It's kind of like apples and oranges." Her comment really made my blood boil and I am hoping for an upset now more than ever before so TCU can prove itself on the national stage!!
I remember Boise State's big BCS win 2-3 years ago. I knew nothing about the team (other than it was an underdog), but I had the BEST time rooting for it. I think I stayed up 'til around midnight or 1 a.m. to watch the magnificent ending, and my excited screams woke up my entire household! Hopefully, if TCU gets a chance to show what it's made of, folks will similarly be cheering for them.
