TCU Is The Big Twelve Inkblot Test.

Ty Hildenbrandt

"How you feel as a person about TCU this season probably says more about you than it does about them."

Context Ty names TCU the Big 12 inkblot because the same roster can be read two ways. The optimistic version sees better line play, Jeremy Payne, Andy Avalos, defensive improvement, and a Gordon Sammis offense better suited to protecting the quarterback. The skeptical version sees Jaden Craig translating from Harvard, a pass defense that still has to prove it, and a schedule that turns sharply in November.

The show converges around an eight-win neighborhood, with Ty over 6.5 and Dan around 8-4 plus or minus one.
