Dan Jenkins with the quote of the year, y'all.
"If Baylor has joined that list," Jenkins wrote in an email interview, "it started last year in Waco when one of TCU's greatest teams was denied an unbeaten season by a group of zebras I can only describe as incompetent or pushovers for catching 'home fever' in the last quarter.
Replacing Trevone Boykin, Josh Doctson, won't be only TCU challenge | ESPN
Replacing Aaron Green will be a tall task in 2016.
While it was encouraging to see TCU have success without Boykin and Doctson, lets not forget the excellence of Aaron Green. The running back finished with 24 carries for 127 yards and one touchdown. It's easy to consider the quarterback-receiver duo of Boykin-Doctson as TCU's main loss after this season, but Green will be just as critical. I consider him the best open field runner in the Big 12 with the ability to leave tacklers grasping for air.
Tiebreakers clear up Big 12 race but playoff picture still muddled | Fort Worth Star Telegram
There's a lot to determine in the Big 12 with just a few games left to play.
We’ll know by Saturday if the Big 12’s best playoff candidate turns out to be No. 3 Oklahoma (10-1), No. 7 Baylor (9-1) or No. 11 Oklahoma State (10-1). All three remain mathematically alive in the Big 12 title race.
Me too, coach, me too. But unless he has a mind-boggling game against Baylor, the chances of Boykin being in New York are slim.
"I'll be honest with you, I'll be really disappointed if he doesn't make the Heisman [finalist] list," Patterson said this week. "If you look at this numbers compared to anything else. ... Someone said you might as well wait and pick the Heisman based on whoever wins the national championship. It doesn't seem like the best player anymore. To me, I don't think he should be forgotten. He's done some unbelievable things for this university, this team and college football."
Pretty interesting story about the outstanding wideout.
Coleman was so athletic that colleges kept seeing different possibilities. Robertson remembers Texas recruiting Coleman as an athlete. Oklahoma saw him breaking up passes as a cornerback. With its love for vertical routes, Baylor saw Coleman as a receiver.
It hasn't all been a straight line for Coleman's success.
Going to the TCU game Friday? It's going to be cold and wet | Fort Worth Star Telegram
Perfect weather for a rivalry game. I'll be there. Will you?

And coming with the rain will be a cold front that will drop temperatures into the mid-30s on Friday night.
