Hello, friends, and welcome to the football offseason, or since Jamie Dixon’s arrival in Fort Worth, that winter non-football period we call “basketball season.” Your TCU Horned Frogs have completed a solid offseason slate, posting an 11-1 record in a schedule of 10 top 200 teams, the lone loss coming at the hands of injuries and a senior-laden tournament squad. The Frogs are 25th in Kenpom, 31st in the NET, and received 20 votes in the most recent AP Men’s Poll. (If Lipscomb were a brand name, TCU would be ranked, but that’s another column.) The Frogs have marquee wins such as SMU in Dallas, USC in LA, and Fresno State at home.
