Doesn't matter what year, pick one. But I'm not implying a damn thing.

Just like Notre Dame is skeerd of joining the Big Ten. :)

So basically your trying to imply what someone is thinking.

No he didn't.
No he definitely didn't say 2011.

OSU had an opening. TCU didn't call then.

It doesn't matter that TCU didn't buy the billboards...did they stand by them? Did they issue a statement that in any way infers or implies they felt any differently...uh no.

They shouldn't be all badass when you don't extend the offer. Lol

I assume you are referring to the Colorado date? The original OSU schedule had Bowling Green on it.

It would be sweet as an OSU fan to schedule TCU or Boise to a home and home. We would have one of the toughest OOC records in the country. If it was a 2011-2012 thing, in 2012 we'd play Cal and UC at home, and TCU on the road. That'd be a ridiculous OOC schedule.

Now, the way reaching the BCS game is set up, no chance in hell does OSU do this. But from a fan's perspective, it'd be cool.

So that proves OSU would be willing to re do the schedule, more proof of why they should just man-up or shut up.

I do agree with you that it would be a great OOC schedule. I also am glad that you added that last line about the BCS. It isn't part of OSU's schedule model to have 2 strong OOC games. That is the way most teams do it these days. Having the big OOC game already scheduled for 10 years or whatever it is is why I said that OSU won't add a home and home with TCU anytime soon.

Colorado was looking for a huge payout because their Athletic Department is having money problems. Like I said in my first post, TCU is not looking for a big pay day.

TCU is looking for respect...you don't get it by kicking sand from a mile away. Put up or shut up.

True, except TCU is looking for theirs in terms of a home and home with Wisconsin, not to be a sacrificial lamb like Colorado.

Didn't they just beat Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl? It would appear that Wisconsin is dodging a trip to TCU, not the other way around.

You can rule out a OSU-Boise home and home, maybe a home and neutral or a neutral/neutral, but OSU isn't playing an OOC game in a stadium that only holds about 30,000. TCU only holds about 40,000, so that isn't happening either.

Just because they feel they've earned respect in a one game, neutral site win over Wisconsin doesn't mean anyone else does. I know I don't.

I said they were dodging a trip to TCU. TCU wants a return date, Wisconsin wants only 1 game in Madison.

this could be a reason Wisky didn't want to agree on a home and home?

I dont give a fuck if it's a 1, 2 or 3 year deal, TCU should have jumped at this I think. TCU will open with Baylor instead.
