Look, we didn't expect TCU to come out and beat Baylor on the strength of Chandler Morris activating God Mode. And when something unexpected and deeply weird happens, we bring on Frogs O' War's Mason Chreene to talk about it. 

We journey in to the forest of the unknown. Join us, and celebrate the win. 

BONUS Purple Theory Podcast: A Quick Q&A with @Baylor_S11 on Baylor's 2021 season, how their offense moves, what Gerry Bohanon does so well, and more!

A ramshackle episode of the Purple Theory podcast finds Parker and Grant at their wits' end trying not to rehash the same old complaints, and so we turn to the listeners for a little inspiration after breaking down the Wildcats. Topics include:

- Kansas State as the Wins Above Replacement program of this year's Big 12

- Why this week could be the week for TCU to break through, no seriously, why are you laughing 

- Listener questions about TCU's future

The Devil went down to Fort Worth, he was lookin' to make a deal.
