TC-Who? The Texas Christian Horned Frogs are used to the question. When TCU guard Josh Vernon boarded the elevator at the team's Fiesta Bowl headquarters hotel last week, a woman glanced at his outfit and asked what "TCU" stood for. "I told her and she said, 'Well, where exactly is that?'" Vernon said, chuckling at the recollection. "It is funny. We went to Clemson (a 14-10 victory last Sept. 26), and it's 'Where's TCU?' By the end of that game, they knew who we were." With a colorful... Read Full Story

With Kelly leaving for Notre Dame after fourth-ranked Cincinnati finished its regular season 12-0, the Big East champion Bearcats had three weeks to refocus on facing No. 5 Florida under offensive coordinator and interim coach Jeff Quinn. The Bearcats will never know... Read Full Story
