Have they made true national coverage yet this year? Number 4 in the country and you can't ever watch any games.

Yes...all games are on Verses or CBS or CBS College...

We can't control that Direct TV dropped Verses.

By National, I meant ABC, ESPN, Fox Sports not the Mountain or QVC.

I realize TCU has a big game today, but if I hear "Go Horned Frogs" one more time on local news, I will throw up.

And if I see any more TCU coeds on TV today, I will throw up.

Agreed, especially since if we ever make it to that point we won't see "GO SMU" signs, but a bunch of Greek signs.

What was TCU's attendance/fanbase like 10 years ago? Did they suck as bad as our fans?

Since they've starting winning a decade ago they've averaged between about 32,000-38,000. They also have always had a little better attendance than SMU when comparing both schools while they had annual losing seasons. I always thought that might have been because they played on campus. Although last week's attendance was disappointing, the Boulevard is a piece of the puzzle in closing that gap. As the program improves now we just need to find a way to get them in the Stadium. If we can build a consistently strong team on the field year after year then hopefully we will see improvement. But 20 years of neglect isn't going to change overnite.

no TV coverage of Utah/TCU over here in Charleston. Pretty said, indeed, for a game of this importance not to be played on a national stage.
