admit associated business coming football help impressive knew looks marquee people players respect since win
Since I have been here, we haven't had any marquee wins. I told the players before the game, if you are going to get any respect in this business - it has to be earned. They (TCU) were coming off a very impressive win over Oklahoma, and we knew they were going to be good. People don't want to admit it, but TCU looks down at SMU. It was a win that will not only help the football program, but everyone associated with SMU.
