Last week, it was a bye week for the TCU Horned Frogs. If you believe our resident sports ignoramus, TCU won the game against BYE. He's here to make us laugh. Maybe one day with his predictions, he'll be laughing at us.

In Week 2, TCU got the win over Tarleton State. The final score was 59-17. Several of our staff came close with their prediction. Derek predicted a 56-24 win for the Frogs. Brett's 52-10, Nick's 55-7, and Tori's 53-10 were also close.
