TCU probably came calling, or the UCLA called to fill their opening, and Neuheisel wants to be known as a b-grade Pete Carroll.
Only thing I could think of. TCU has been a consistent winner this decade.
It's a good move even though they all hail from Texas.
After next season USC, ND and UCLA will be the only schools that have NEVER scheduled a Division I-AA (FCS) team.

I would love for TCU to play and beat UCLA. Where are you hearing this rumor at?
The only reasons those type of teams want to come play in Texas is because of exposure and mainly recruiting.

Kinda ironic how what used to work for Ohio St is now working against Iowa in terms of the Big Eleven.

UCLA proably called TCU
Kstate has been trying to get out of next years game since last year
like a year ago the Georgia Dome had UCLA VS Auburn ready to go but Auburn said no and then put some D2 school on there schedule
, then they got Gtech to replace Auburn and UCLA said no thank you to thatone(thank god Gtech would kill us)
if the deal goes down UCLA to get 1million to play in cowboys stadium VS TCU

However, they are a brand name by college football standards when it comes to teams that are not from a BCS conference.

UCLA should've taken that game,
Not surprised an SEC school pulled out and scheduled a D2 school,
Waits for the "SEC is tough as it is, they don't need to play tough OOC opponents" argument,

remember what I told u couple months ago, there's a bigger fish out there at RB
btw Gio can play. thats a good get
Cassius Marsh verbals to LSU. *Diddy face palm* another Potentially sick DL
Marquise Gray is gonna start for Minnesota. Looks like its his job permanently. Hopefully he puts in his time in the film room and on the practice field. Athletically he is Nasty. lets see thim become the total package
When they had him in he looked promising. He certainly has all the tools.
Ya its already been refuted by a reputable poster on the Ohio St boards. Fwiw.

Duh!
They play in weak conferences, that's why I pull the tiny violin when they start complaining about not getting their shot in the title game.
Memphis was a consistent winner, a team that the casual fan knew about, went to a title game. They are going to fall off though, now that the program isgoing in a different direction.
TCU is a team that the casual fan knows. A respectable opponent.
BTW....
legit question....
When are SEC teams going to get some more flak for playing weak #@@ OOC opponents? Florida's only worthy opponent to date is LSU (road). I give creditto Bama (VTech in Blacksburg and Georgia (Ok State, ASU). These schools refuse to leave the confines of the South.
I know it's because ESPN keeps shoving it down our throats like the Red Sox/Yankee's, but the SEC is the only conference that get's credit forbeating up on each other?
USC losing to Oregon State in Corvallis: "Another misstep by SC in the Pac 10".
Florida losing at home to Ole Miss: "That just shows you how tough the SEC is [slurp]".

The top of the Mountain West is as good as the top of the Big East or Big 10 so dont give me that crap. TCU, BYU, and Utah can play with anyoneand have shown it for the last few years. Hold back your BCS elitism and actually compare the conferences and you will see. Our teams also try and schedulebetter teams in out of conference to make up for teams like Wyoming and New Mexico. Hate on the MWC all you want, but if you actually knew college footballthen you wouldnt be disregarding them.Originally Posted by GUNNA GET IT

Please son. Iowa and the Big 10 are trash!! You obviously havent watched TCU play. They have speed that those corn field boys wouldnt know what do with.
I doubt their speed would be too overwhelming for Iowa. They've played well against the SEC in their bowl games.

`Unanimous' advice led Bradford to leave Oklahoma
NORMAN, Okla. (AP)-As his teammates gathered around him in a show of support, Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford described the unanimous advice it took forhim to enter the NFL draft and end his college career at Oklahoma that was the fulfillment of his childhood dreams.
"To make this decision and realize that I've probably played my last game at Oklahoma," Bradford said, taking pause at the thought,"it's really tough."
Bradford was raised by a former Sooners lineman just up the interstate in Oklahoma City and he considered the team a fitting substitute for the pro sportsfranchise, the state lacked. He signed with Oklahoma as an unheralded recruit, only to win the starting quarterback's job as a redshirt freshman and thenhave his career take off as a sophomore.
He broke the school records with 4,720 yards passing and 50 touchdowns en route to the Heisman Trophy and the BCS championship game a year ago, and it was a24-14 loss to Florida in the title game that brought him back for another season for another shot.
He leaves Oklahoma, which has never produced a starting NFL quarterback, as perhaps the school's most notable passer. Among his school records are thecareer marks for passing yardage and touchdowns.
"It's extremely tough considering that this is where I grew up, this is where I dreamed about playing. To put this in the past it's extremelytough," Bradford said.
"But I've been extremely blessed to be here. The past 3 1/2 years have been 3 1/2 of the best years of my life. I wouldn't trade a day ofit."
Teammates including fellow captains Gerald McCoy and Brody Eldridge, tight end Jermaine Gresham-who's also out for the season following knee surgery-and starters Chris Brown, Ryan Broyles and Trent Williams filed in behind Bradford as he spoke in the team's meeting room.
Dr. James Andrews will perform season-ending surgery on Bradford's right, throwing shoulder Wednesday in Birmingham, Ala. Bradford's recovery isexpected to take four to six months, with the NFL draft slightly less than six months away. Bradford said he'll stick with his plan to enter his name inthe draft in January as long as his rehab is going according to plan.
He said he doesn't know when he expects to get drafted.
"We'll figure that out," Bradford said.
Bradford said he will not hire an agent until after the season is over, so he can continue to travel with the team and remain involved. He intends tocomplete his degree in the spring, and is hopeful he can do so by taking online courses.
"I just know him personally, how hard this is for him to do this because I know deep down in his heart he wants to play," coach Bob Stoops said."But really for his future, immediate and long range, we are all the way fully supportive and want what's best for him. And as hard as it is for himto do, this is the right path to take."
Bradford was hurt just before halftime in the Sooners' season-opening loss to BYU and returned to play one full game before getting injured again in anOct. 17 loss against Texas. He accompanied the Sooners for their win at Kansas on Saturday, then announced his decision the following day.
"After talking to a lot of people and getting a lot of information, it seemed like this was kind of the unanimous decision that everyone came to,"Bradford said.
Bradford was projected as high as the No. 1 overall pick in this year's NFL draft before deciding to return to school. He took out an insurance policyto protect his future earnings, but declined Monday to talk about the terms of it.
"Some people think money is everything, but to me money is not everything," Bradford said. "To look at these guys and look at therelationships I've built and the experience that I've had here. Not many people can say that."
Too Late dummy!

Miami's 3-1 start wasn't all it was cracked up to be. Don't take that the wrong way. Miami's 3-1 start over ranked teams is a major achievement, especially when there were legitimate fears the Hurricanes could start 0-4 or 1-3. But let's not overrate those first four games. I know Oklahoma and Florida State made statements this week, but those statements were on the road against Kansas and North Carolina, respectively. That should say something right there. Miami itself showed some flaws last week by allowing six sacks against UCF. This week, Miami hit a speed bump by losing at home to unranked Clemson, allowing Tigers redshirt freshman quarterback Kyle Parker to pass for 330 yards and three touchdowns. Miami quarterback Jacory Harris threw three interceptions. Miami still could win out for a wildly successful 10-2 season, but the Hurricanes also showed they could be vulnerable to mid-level ACC teams.
Hmm I said this same *$%# week 3 and I was a "UM Hater"
Guess Im not the only one who saw the Forest for the trees.
