FORT WORTH, Texas -- Jerry Hughes is everybody's All-American. The TCU defensive end led the nation in sacks as a junior last year and is again among the leaders this season. He's the best defensive player on one of the best defenses in the country, and is expected to be a first-round pick in next year's NFL draft.

At TCU's weekly media luncheon on Tuesday, Hughes talked a little bit about all the hype surrounding the No. 4 Horned Frogs' huge game Saturday against Utah. Nike is outfitting TCU in brand-new uniforms, ESPN's College GameDay is here and there looks to be an amount of media hype more appropriate for a game a few hours to the south in Austin.
Anyway, as GameDay is known for its signs -- "Charlie ate my other stadium", "Corso has a baby's arm", "Stoops drives a minivan" -- Hughes was asked what kind of sign he would bring if he wasn't planning on tormenting the Utes Saturday and was able to participate in the on-campus shenanigans that morning.
