12 pages of completely unsubtantiated nothing. But its got them on edge which is good. I thought some of you might want to speculate on just what this ill wind might be
Speculation: The reports of large field of natural gas under the Ft. Worth campus prove true-campus destroyed by huge explosion.

Friends of mine in FW have been receiving escalating prices for royalties
inside the city of FW for the mineral rights of their neighborhoods.
DFW looks like east TX when oil was discovered in Kilgore. I like the
fuel prices billboard by the Startlegram while traveling westbound on
635 near the airport with a drilling rig in the background.
Slant wells may have become legal

TCU will begin drilling after football season -- it will bring in some big bucks into the university.
We're looking forward to it; like the DMN said, the money goes into the general endowment, which, within the next few months, I believe we'll be announcing the growth to 1.33B.

Tommy Blake Goes MIA at TCU
Posted Aug 17th 2007 2:13PM by Brian Grummell
Filed under: Mountain West, Breaking News, TCU Football
Just ... weird. If the odd disappearance of Sammi "Where's Sammie?" Stroughter at Oregon State wasn't enough, pay attention to this one.
Preseason All America defensive end Tommy Blake has left TCU.
Officially, preseason All-American Blake was absent from the Frogs' two practices Thursday because of "personal reasons." He also missed the afternoon workout Tuesday and a single practice Wednesday.
"Is he still on the team?"" [TCU coach Gary] Patterson asked Thursday, repeating the rumor of the day. "Yes, he is."
Instead of being on the practice field, however, as the Frogs prepare for their Sept. 1 season opener against Baylor, Blake was back in his hometown of Aransas Pass, reportedly trying to sort things out.
"Up to practice No. 11, he was perfect," Patterson said. "Unbelievable."
And the next day, it seems, an NFL scout from the Jets showed up to watch Blake practice. And a scout from the Titans. And from the Saints, the Broncos, the Giants and the Bills.
The attention, witnesses say, appeared to bother Tommy.
Apparently! Hopefully Blake can work through all of this, but yikes. NFL millions await him, although this has to send a major red flag to higher-ups in the pressure-packed league.

I have a funny feeling that, that natural gas field in Ft. Worth is going to make SMOOOO have to work that much harder in building the ol'endowment.

Preseason All America defensive end Tommy Blake has left TCU....
Instead of being on the practice field, however, as the Frogs prepare for their Sept. 1 season opener against Baylor, Blake was back in his hometown of Aransas Pass, reportedly trying to sort things out....(H/T: Burnt Orange Nation)
Don't care in the slightest if TCU is sitting over a JiffyLube. THIS is the interesting story in this thread.
Anyone have more info?

Thanks, FF - told you I needed coffee.
Sorry - been flying all day, and just turned on the computer.
Not that I'm eager to see Blake chasing Justin Willis next month, but I hope he's OK personally, whatever's going on.
