| THE SKINNY: It can happen to the best of handicappers in a Bookie Challenge career, meaning posting a season in which it all goes south and a season that be can be deserving of a mulligan. That type of season reared its ugly head for TCU in last year's competition. The die-hard Dallas fan, the one popularly known by his Challenge monker as "Too Tall Tommy", couldn't lasso anything worth the damn in last year's competition, nothing, nada--not a damn thing. Oh wait, Too Tall Tommy did lasso one thing...um...the Humpt Dumpty award! In a season in which Too Tall Tommy finished with the worst outing in the league, he failed to register a 6-point parlay winner and also recorded a league-low 15 points for last year's regular season. All in all, last season was by far and away TCU's worst ever season within his 6-year Bookie Challenge career. But if there's one handicapper who can put last season behind him, it's Too Tall Tommy. With that said, look for Too Tall Tommy to get back on his horse and ride his way to handicapping respectability once again. Bottom line? He's too good of a handicapper to not handicap his way out of his worst season ever. |
