Still a dismal non-conference season so far for CUSA........and the NBE isn't doing too much better. At least UTEP and UAB are getting good checks out of their games today...........

Man, the Frogs look so beatable. Of course whether that means they look beatable by SMU is the question.

Someone was on here crowing about the frog game being sold out? I saw a bunch of empty seats in the first half, in the second half that place was pretty empty.

Yeah I think TCU is beatable too at home if we had our program humming. Brandon Carter really bailed them out. Running game last time I looked was very paltry. But give TCU credit-they made more big plays in an otherwise pretty even game and stopped a few drives in the Red Zone.

To a bunch of Longhorns, Sooners, and Aggies.

You had to have TCU priority points to buy those tickets-they never opened them up to the open market. I'm sure some will invite or sell those tickets but that's the way the game is played. They sold out the stadium for every game.

Whatever - I really don't care about their tickets and to be fair our inflated numbers this year are because of Aggies too.

The bottom line is they are way overbuilt for what they are. Today was embarrassing. Their first "real" game and the place was maybe 3/4 full?

A ton of people left at the half too even though the game wasn't even close to decided.

But wait - i thought only SMU fans left the game at halftime? Thats what mega lawyer Stallion says, so it must be true?

The camera showed otherwise today. Everyone gets bored quickly these days - once they have experienced the "game" its off to the next thing on the list.

lots of empty seats at tcu? you should look at the empty seats at the rice-marshall game. I would be surprised if there were 2k people there.

Not that anyone cares but it was probably the hottest game I have sat through in the last 10 years. I couldn't even blame folks for leaving.
