FORT WORTH, Texas -- TCU coach Gary Patterson remains unhappy over what he thinks were bad calls in Saturday's overtime loss to rival SMU. But that's not all that has him really angry.

On Tuesday the Iron Skillet rivalry got some extra sizzle when Patterson said he is ending whatever civil relationship the two programs share after he felt disrespected by postgame comments from SMU coach June Jones and a Mustangs player.

Patterson, 9-2 against SMU as head coach, said he took note of a Jones comment saying that TCU hasn't changed much over the years which helps in game preparation. Patterson also took exception to wide receiver Darius Johnson saying, "I don't like these TCU people."

Patterson began a rant on SMU by noting Jones has won one game against Patterson's Frogs during his time at SMU, and prior to that, at Hawaii.

"He hasn't changed much either, so if we want to get into those kinds of matches. But, I don't go there," Patterson said. "All we've ever tried to do here at TCU is help SMU. At some point in time we were going to get beat by them, so we got beat by them. We've helped them, let them come over and talked to them about how we do things academically, how we do things at the stadium, how we do everything to try to make their program better and their way of thanking us for that is to cut us down."

TCU fell out of the national polls for the first time in three years with the loss and SMU actually moved ahead of the Frogs by receiving votes in The Associated Press and USA Today coaches poll.

On Sunday night, it was reported that the Big East Conference has added SMU as a potential target for expansion. TCU will join the league in 2012.

"SMU has had a lot of help from us over the last three or four years to improve their program," Patterson said. "I don't' appreciate being treated the way it is; that's how we got reciprocated. We're going to go on about our business, but they're not going to get the same help anymore -- not about a ballgame, not about conferences, not about anybody. They're getting no help from Gary Patterson, period.

"They shouldn't ask me at SMU about going into a conference, they shouldn't ask me about how they play, they shouldn't ask me about their players, they shouldn't ask me about anything because they're not getting any help, period, any more. Because we've bent over backwards to make sure that they can improve their program because I believe that's what you do."

Patterson then added further fuel to his fire.

"To be honest with you, SMU people have been looking down at TCU for a long time over here," he said. "So, us winning and doing things, the older group of alumni around here have a certain feeling about SMU. I didn't have that feeling, but I'm getting it."

As for the officiating, immediately after the 40-33 loss, Patterson chose not to criticize their work, but he did make it known that it was a crew from SMU's Conference USA.

On Tuesday, Patterson said TCU athletic director Chris Del Conte told him that C-USA commissioner Britton Banowsky called him, acknowledged that the game was poorly officiated and that he would make a public statement.

When one never came from the C-USA offices, Patterson said it was his job to make his thoughts public. A C-USA spokesperson said the league has reviewed the game, shared its report with Mountain West Conference officials and would make take no further action.

"The key to it is I'd be quiet about it if I thought the people in charge of the officiating group came out and said it wasn't very good. But, they didn't," Patterson said. "I have a hard time with people that don't admit they made mistakes. I've got to do it all the time. When you're just going to be quiet about it and you think it's just all going to go away, it's not going to go away.

Most egregious of the calls, Patterson said, was a pass interference call on the first play of the game that negated an interception by TCU cornerback Jason Verrett and resulted in an SMU touchdown.

On SMU's next possession, Patterson said the crew missed an obvious motion penalty. The Mustangs then scored on a 71-yard pass play for a 14-0 lead.

"I got their names," Patterson said of the officiating crew. "They won't come back in this stadium ever again."

Agree. I hope Currie is licking his chops.

Also jumping on this train. A GP mental breakdown is the only way he falls into our waiting arms.

Yeah, that was very weird.

Snyder gets weird with the media though too.

Always been a loose cannon and a crybaby, the way he handled "It's Patterson" should have showed you guys how much of a baby he is.

I like the part where Gary refers to himself in the third person.

This is actually setting up quite well for us with the Big East becoming the new Conference USA. As long as we can keep him disgruntled as a mid-major the better our chances when Snyder passes the torch in a couple years.

the subject has been discussed in the past, but our butthurt prone fans would eat this butthurt patterson crap up.

Gary is one of us. We need more people with Gary's small man complex around here. Probably get a lot more done.

Currie's a smart guy, right? So he knows that getting Patterson when he was one of the hottest coaching commodities in college football was simply a dream for K-State. Now that Patterson is looking less, um, stable, it would be a good time to let him know of K-State's interest in him eventually coming home. Very much want Patterson.

Patterson would be the third or fourth coach I'd call if we were looking to hire a coach for next season. He'd be a very solid hire, but I think we could do better.

Gary would fit right in with Frank at KSU. June Jones thinks he just needs to get lei'd.

Care to share the list?

(This is not bait, just genuine curiosity.)

fwiw, I have a close friend who has dealt with Patterson in some business environments... his comments have been that Patterson is unbelievable dick. He had better things to say about RP, if that tells you anything.

I would ask Mike Leach, Rich Rodriguez, and Gus Malzahn before I asked Gary Patterson. They might all say no, but I've never been a believer that being told no makes your job less desirable.

Back at you, TCU: SMU offers ticket plan for remaining four home games for -- wait for it -- $40.33. You know, the 40-33 score of TCU game.

Leach and Rodriguez maybe, but not Gus. The other three have proven they can win at non-tradition rich schools as a HC and all would be good hires IMO. I do NOT think it should be a pre-requisite to have KSU ties, but I consider all three to be pretty much on equal footing and GP's KSU history could be the tie breaker. I'd probably take Rich out of the conversation too unless the other two said no because GP and ML both have good recruiting connections in TX.

When Currie leaves, I want SMU's AD at the top of the list.

Gary Patterson is competitive. Gary Patterson doesn't like losing... especially to SMU. Would take.

fwiw I would also take June Jones
