Iowa State @ TCU GameThread

11 AM CT - ABC (National)

The time has come for Iowa State to repent its football sins as Paul Rhoads' squad stares a 2-10 season in the face. #3 TCU still has everything to play for, as a win gets them into the inaugural college football playoffs, while Iowa State just hopes to put up a decent showing on national TV. A drive south of Amon G. Carter Stadium yields Baylor's athletic department hiring PR staff to campaign to overtake the Hypnotoads of Fort Worth.

Oh, if only hiring PR staff meant giving Paul Rhoads a defense to maybe give TCU a battle. Instead, most of the talk this week has been about IF TCU will roll up the points in an embarrassing fashion, not if they'll win. Coach Rhoads is prepared for the worst, so we should probably do the same.
