You know, I've been hearing this same tune from smaller programs since the Southwest Conference days. everybody thinks they're being disrespected. Let me tell you something, son. We at TCU know a thing or two about being overlooked. We played in the Cotton Bowl when it meant something, back when the SWC was a real conference. We built LaDainian Tomlinson from the ground up right here in Fort Worth, and he didn't need any portal to become a legend. You talk about developing players? We perfected that under Coach Patterson for two decades, turning two-star recruits into NFL talent year after year. This idea that the national media owes anyone coverage is nonsense. You earn it on the field, in big games, not by complaining. We earned our way into the Big 12 the hard way, by winning the Rose Bowl against Wisconsin, not by whining about lists. And let's be clear, if you're not getting mentioned, maybe it's because your non-conference schedule hasn't been worth a darn since the 90s. Real contenders make noise where people can hear it.
