FWIW, TCU v. tOSU checks in at #18, 7 spots ahead of A&M's first appearance at #25 versus Bama. Immediately after A&M's first appearance is OU vs. WVU with only 20k fewer viewers and Texas/OU with 42k fewer. https://www.statista.com/statistics/748033/college-football-tv-ratings/

Call me old fashioned but Baylor should always wear the metallic gold helmets with green home jerseys. Pants can be gold or white but you guys shouldn't screw with the traditional look. All whites or whites with gold helmets are fine for road games. One of the differences between TCU and Baylor is that TCU doesn't have a traditional look that goes back 50 years like Baylor. If we have a traditional uni, it's the purple/black/purple combo that we've used with some variation since the LT years.

If UT and OU leave the Big 12 for the B1G or SEC, I think TCU and Tech would have a chance at convincing the Pac-12 that they could get into the Texas market by adding us. Barring that, I don't see another option for TCU or Tech or Baylor besides maintaining a lesser form of the Big 12 by adding some MWC and AAC schools like UH and CSU. However, I think it's more likely that UT and OU stay where they are and maybe try to pick off a couple of schools from other P5 conferences when the media contracts come back up.

these should sell well for the game against you guys in Fort Worth this season https://www.frogsowar.com/2019/7/16/20696324/get-your-cockroach-dna-breaking-t-shirt

A Longhorn connection with the kid who is probably TCU's key player on defense this season: https://www.hookem.com/story/big-12-media-days-qa-with-tcu-dt-ross-blacklock/

The best part of this is that Patterson retweeted it. It's gonna be a dog fight in October.

It's going to be a really nice arena. It should be, it cost $540M ($225M from the city and the rest private $$$). When they announced it, Ed Bass specifically said that it wasn't going to be a second rate venue. Everything about it will be as nice or better than the AAC in Dallas, especially the acoustics. It's also close to all the bars and restaurants in W. 7th so it should be good venue for special events. They've already booked an NCAA regional and the AAC conference tournament. Two days before the UT/A&M game, TCU will play USC in basketball there. I think the fans that go are really going to like it. The city just has to figure out transportation from the arena to W. 7th and it will be a great party scene before and after games. https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/community/fort-worth/article222185430.html

I think this is designed to get in kids from private schools or other schools that don't rank so they don't qualify for that top 25% of their class requirement. I personally know a kid who is a legacy with a composite ACT over 30 who graduated from a school that doesn't rank who had to go the Blinndergarten route his first year. This is a kid who got into SMU. That second category of auto-admits is probably pushing the # of holistic admits so far down that a kid like that can't get in. A lot of public schools are now giving kids the option of not ranking. My kids' school started that this year. It might help get you into some schools but it could screw you on things like the top quarter/1360 requirement. We decided to go with the ranking and take our chances.

There's a former Texas governor that he would probably get along with just fine.

Here's my pipe dream of a conference. This conference could potentially match the Big 10 and SEC in TV revenue and would be good enough to lure both Nebraska and Mizzou back. Southwest Division Texas OU Tech TCU OSU KU Nebraska Mizzou Pacific Division USC UCLA Cal Stanford CU Washington Oregon ASU 10 conference games (7 in division and 3 out incl. a permanent CU/Neb rivalry game). 5 conference home games would be great for season ticket holders. CCG All revenue shared equally except for schools get a bigger % of their own bowl revenue and basketball tourney credits which would sweeten the pot for the schools that are actually having success and bringing more attention to the conference.

I think the answer to your question is that 33.5% of graduates complete 30 hours or more at 2 year colleges. That would indicate that a significant number of students are transfers from JUCO or community college and are not included in the admission statistics. See page 35 of the THECB Report: http://www.thecb.state.tx.us/reports/PDF/10900.PDF?CFID=100201713&CFTOKEN=13270898 That number for UT - Austin is 16.8%. Most state schools in Texas are roughly in the same range as A&M give or take 5 percentage points.

They made the Peach Bowl which is a NY6 Bowl. Of course they got their asses whipped by TCU but at least they made it. They were also in the 2016 Sugar Bowl where they beat OSU. All of that cheating and all they got out of it was a Sugar Bowl win over 13th ranked Okie State.

Reagor was wide open for a sure touchdown that would've given TCU a 20-10 lead and Robinson threw the ball 10 yards short of Reagor and hit Brandon Jones directly in the chest. I don't know if the Horn's secondary mistreated him as much as he just served the ball up on a platter for them. Anyway, Robinson had 7 interceptions and probably 3-4 fumbles in his last 4 full games. If we don't roll out someone who plays much better than that this season, I'll be shocked.

Baylor 247 says it's between them and A&M with the Bears being the favorite. FWIW . . .

If it has some amount of THC in it, CBD is still illegal and possession of THC in a condensed form like an oil is a felony in Texas. See below for a good explanation. https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/community/fort-worth/article225554495.html

He was apparently planning on coming back to TCU but then he changed his mind and decided he wanted to go to the $EC. He is no longer on the radar at TCU.

Didn't Foreman run for over 2,000 yds that season with a true freshman at QB? My recollection is that you had a young O-line and WR group too.

We ran the ball a lot more after Cumbie replaced Meachem as the play caller and Meach got pissed and left for KU. The Arkansas and OSU games in 2017 were where Cumbie began morphing the Air Raid into a power spread at times and we won with a dominating run game. Running the ball more took the pressure off Kenny Hill because he didn't handle the pressure well in '16. Last year, we still ran the ball more than we threw it but didn't have much success until late in the season. Once we got down to Muehlstein at QB, we actually got good at running the ball. We ran for 243 and 267 against OSU and Cal without a legit passing threat. Maybe that prompted Cumbie to decide to tweak the offense to open up the running game even more. The Veer & Shoot is designed to use the long ball threat to keep the safeties back on their heels and open up the running game. We have the speed at WR and two good RB's. The O-line will be a lot more experienced that last year too. QB is a huge question mark though.

A Veer & Shoot is what Briles ran and what UT ran under Sterlin Gilbert. TCU has been running more of a Holgerson type modified Air Raid similar to what OSU and WVU ran. If this is true, maybe we're changing so that we will be running something different than what everyone else is running. Makes it harder for the defenses to prepare. Maybe . . . I'm just spitballing because this is the first I've heard of it. Of course if the 247 guys had leaked something like this GP would have their heads. He's super paranoid.

I've been skeptical about Delton too but the 247 guys swear their sources say he tore it up this spring. Like I said, I think Duggan will be the starter by the end of the year but at least we have plenty of guys to compete, unlike some programs who are rolling with 2 scholarship QB's.

Good enough to provide the Frogs with a kid that became the 49th pick in the draft last month. Talent comes from everywhere. We got a starting LB from NIU last year.

QB competition will be intense if Baldwin gets a waiver. Delton has supposedly looked good, Rogers is improving but still not close to 100% mobility this spring, and Duggan, the 4* true frosh from Iowa was looking really good. Add Baldwin into the mix and that's three 4* QB's all in the same class unless Duggan redshirts. Duggan might have the inside track in my opinion just because GP loves a mobile QB and Duggan is a really fast white boy. Sub 22 sec. 200M and highest SPARQ score of any QB in the country last year.

Ben Banogu says hello.

TC 4 commits in the last 24 hours. Jumped from 7th in the conference to 2nd in conference and 21st nationally in one day. https://247sports.com/college/tcu/Season/2020-Football/Commits/

TCU recruiting has been really slow but we just got a commit from a 4 star cornerback from Va -- Keontae Jenkins. #250 nationally with offers from Auburn, FSU, LSU, and Florida. https://247sports.com/player/keontae-jenkins-94747/
