Not sure I have heard of these announcers.

Hopefully the Cyclones get there and back home safely through icepacolypse.

Go Cyclones!

Personally, I like frog.
Pounded flat, sauteed in butter with garlic and served piping hot in a nut cup.

What happened to all Big 12 games being on an ESPN network?
(Just curious. I haven't been around much this fall/winter, so sorry in advance if I missed something.)

After winning at Texas, CBSSports.com says that TCU is "penning a blueprint" this season:

As Donnie Duncan would'be put it, gonna be a knock down, drag out this afternoon!

Not cool.

Oh yeah, absolutely not cool. If you let frog cool it tastes greasy. Gotta serve it up hot.

A win is a win is a win on the road in the Big 12. Our guys have shown their toughness and skill, and Coach Prohm clearly knows how to coach basketball. We'll at the least be right there with an opportunity to pull it out. I think our defense will turn them over and give us the win again, ISU 72-67.

Afternoon game so they can come back tonight before the ice starts flying. Getting Kansas to Ames may be more difficult.

trap game
A trap game is a game played against an opponent generally deemed to be easy to defeat. As a result a person or team may not prepare as thoroughly as they would for a formidable opponent. Often this attitude and its attendant lack of preparation lead to a loss.

This was posted in the TCU TV thread.

This is what I've read from a different forum:
"Every year TCU gets one conference game on their own network, as part of some sort of Tier 3 concession they got when they joined the league."

So I'm guessing it's due to this, but I don't have specifics.

I thought B12 schools owned their tier 3 rights by default.

6,700, still twice as many fans as Baylor gets a game.

I think having a high profile game following the "easy" opponent is what makes it a "trap game" in my mind. Over the past few years I'd say this would qualify considering we play KU the next game.

This year I wouldn't call it a trap game because TCU appears to be much improved. Not saying you were just my thoughts.
