Texas Christian Is Too Much for Wyoming, 31-20

After attending Friday night's USC-Colorado game in Boulder, Wiz correspondent Greg Laughlin made the trip up the front range to Laramie, where Texas Christian and Wyoming squared off in a Mountain West Conference matchup on Saturday afternoon.

The Horned Frogs held off the Cowboys for a 31-20 victory before 17,673 at War Memorial Stadium, elevation 7,200 feet.

Texas Christian

Thirteen up, 13 down. Texas Christian won them all in 2010 and has the nation's second-longest winning streak behind Auburn, which has ripped off 14 in a row. The Horned Frogs have their most challenging games on the road. They open at Baylor and then travel to Air Force. On Nov. 12, TCU plays at Boise State.

Oregon State's Mike Riley, left, and Texas Christian's Gary Patterson were on a conference call Tuesday to promote the Sept. 4 game between their teams in Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. As one could expect, the conversation was somewhere south of dull.

About halfway through a female caller came on the line and identified herself as "Amy Cummings with Rawhide Nation Sports Blog."

TCU's Smith Said He Would Not Change a Thing

Brian Smith, the student reporter who was banned by Texas Christian officials, gave his side of the story in a guest editorial in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Smith, who will be graduating this month with a degree in broadcast journalism, wrote that he would not have done anything differently.

"When I gave my opinion about TCU's quarterbacks, I was doing exactly what I was asked to. The show I appeared on is supposed to serve as a place for student journalists to offer our perspectives.

"It's the media relations department's job to put athletics in the best light possible. But the department actually put itself in the worst light."
