Accept UK taking a 66-7 drubbing in a National Title game just for the sole fact we made it that far? Hell, I'd take a drubbing from Bama if it meant we made an SEC championship game at this point.
Would you...

No. This will kill TCU recruiting. More fallout to come.
You must be joking. They'll get killed in recruiting after making the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME?
It won’t kill them but they showed that they play in a 2nd tier conference. If you want to be the best, you compete with the best. You ain’t gonna find that at TCU. Of course, NIL will play into this but a few years ago, there was no question.
Would rather fail to compete with them in the title game than in a regular season conference game.
True but last night wasn’t a regular season game and there were no expectations for us to compete this year. TCU got tea bagged.
If you have a team that can win the SEC East I don't see you're getting any kind of beat down like that.

It's called baby steps. If you get to the game, you've made monumental progress as a program. Even with a drubbing it's a historic season. Now subsequent trips to the game, yeah, I'd expect to be more competitive.
Never did look bad IMHO. Getting rolled by UT.... yes.
That's a great question, because look at all the negative energy surrounding TCU nationally right now. It's like everything they did great all season is forgotten. The media, the message boards, the talk shows, no one is saying anything good about TCU right now. Suddenly no one thinks TCU is legitimate... BUT, if they can string together two or three seasons in a row like this, then things turn positive and the impact of the beatdown is not so severe. Good question.
There's no way a Stoops coached team would get bulldozed like that, especially with White as DC
We're gonna put it all together if Leary is healthy and we can protect him against legit competition beyond a limited short drop passing game. Our defense >>> 2022 TCU year in and year out now. Better offense will make our defense look even better.
Never seemed to hurt Ohio state/ Michigan/ Oklahoma / Notre Dame ect after getting drubbed in the BCS/playoffs so not sure where the poster thinks that.
The difference between us and TCU is TCU played decent to mediocre competition and found out against UGA that they aren’t what they believed they were.
UK on the other hand gets to play 3-5 teams next year maybe more that would’ve absolutely murdered TCU, and one of those teams just got done treating them like they were a grade school.
