    Comparing ISU to Utah

    Coming from a TCU fan, so this should be taken with a grain of salt... I honestly think ISU needs to find a way to differentiate themselves from the rest of the conference. Currently ISU runs pretty much the same offense as 3/4 of the conference with fewer elite athletes and less speed. Every...

    The Formula to Win at Iowa State

    That all makes sense; totally understandable. However, teams used to see the triple option all the time 20 years ago, so defenses were geared towards stopping the option attack (especially in the Big 8). If you ran it now, you would be the one teams these schools saw every year that was...

    The Formula to Win at Iowa State

    This is coming from a TCU fan, so take it with a grain of salt (not meant to be an insult, so hopefully it isn't taken that way). What are your thoughts about running the triple option (similar to Navy, Georgia Tech, Air Force, etc)? It does not require elite athletes, and it can be deadly with...

    New Big 12 Bowls

    Excluding Playoff and access bowl participants these will be the opponents: Sugar - vs SEC #1 Alamo - vs PAC #2 Russell - vs ACC #2 Those are some pretty good match-ups in 3 locations that are pretty great for a 2-5 day trip (New Orleans, San Antonio, Orlando).

    TCU fan attendance

    I mean maybe the physical attendance was not as good as expected, but TCU sold out the UVA, KSU, OU, and TT game. UVA and Grambling were over official capacity and I anticipate all the other games will be as well. So for the season we will have attendance over 100% capacity; I think that is...

    TCU Recruiting Weekend

    I do not think we had any of our keys recruits in for this game. But I am not really sure. TCU gets tons of are kids with "unofficial visits". Lots of DFW kids just buy a couple tickets and come with their family. It is good a bad at the same time. Hopefully the weather kept most of them...

    TCU fan attendance

    Good game, Cyclones. Yeah, our attendance was pretty lackluster on Saturday. Lots of tickets sold but did not look full. One of the main problems we had this week (I know, I know there is always an excuse) was the student's were on fall break. The student section officially runs from endzone...

    TCU Tailgate!

    I have not noticed many other TCU fans on this site, but feel free to ask any questions you might have. Should be a great game. TCU fans are excited for the first Big XII home game

    TCU Tailgate!

    Official lots only open 6 hours before gametime. As this game is a 230 kick that mean lots open at 8:30. As the campus is pretty small it does not really matter what you do in terms of parking. Most of the closer lots are alumni lots, so you will most likely not be able to park there...

    TCU Tailgate!

    You can still get tickets through gofrogs.com as well.

    TCU Tailgate!

    Yeah, there will definitely be people selling tickets, but they will all be on the opposite side of the stadium from where you are. I usually see the most people along Canty Ave. just west of University Drive. i can almost guarantee that there will no be any people scalping tickets in the lot...

    TCU Tailgate!

    I am not sure exactly where the RV lots are (other than the Doner RV lot), you can probably check gofrogs.com for parking information. I would say from where you guys are tailgating it will be approximately a 15 minute walk to the stadium. Not bad. Most of the closer spots are doner or season...

    TCU Running Back Waymon James out for season

    And we lost 4 our 5 players from the drug bust. Starting offensive lineman, starting defensive lineman, starting linebacker (all american), and a defensive back who was never going to play anyway. Hurt us pretty bad.

    TCU Running Back Waymon James out for season

    Not only did we just lose our leading rusher from last season we lost our 2nd leading rusher from last season in august for "family reasons" (grades). Matthew Tucker, a senior who has over 2000 career yards rushing, will now be the starting RB. This sucks. Two months ago I would have put our...

    If you are going to the TCU Game, check this out....

    Where are you staying? Well you can always go check out the stockyards during the day - go check out billy bobs and eat some BBQ. New place opened called Cooper's that I think might be the best BBQ in DFW. One thing that some out of towners might enjoy is driving out to Arlington (20...
