FORT WORTH, Texas -- As chants of "overrated" rang out through the stands of Amon G. Carter Stadium, No. 9 BYU could only hang its head and quietly jog off the field in an overwhelming cloud of disappointment.

The Cougars had thoroughly been beaten, 32-7, by TCU, a team that admitted earlier in the week that defeating BYU had been on its mind since last January.

FORT WORTH, Texas -- BYU will need a small miracle to reach the BCS. And maybe even just to win the Mountain West Conference.With an ironic twist of revenge, and a smothering defense, TCU made sure of that.

It was a sad day in Provo yesterday and, as you can see, everyone had something to say about it. I think it was especially hard to see the team lose so bad because we had been built up for so long! Freakin #9! Undefeated in the conference. BCS on the horizon..... And now it's all gone. I'm not defeated as an avid fan of my BYU cougars but I'm just sad.

On a MUCH happier note, the North Carolina Tar Heels' first home game is NOVEMBER 15th!!! Let the countdown begin. What's not to love about the face of the player of the year?
