Army AA game in less than an hour on NBC

TCU's stadium holds about 45,000 and they have a low enrollment, which means low alumni base.

There are more alumni from the other major texas schools in the Dallas area than TCU.

Saying the whole stadium would be purple is a huge overstatement.

Man you knew what the hell I meant.

You really think I meant the WHOLE stadium?

My point is that they would have a huge home field advantage. Enough to make a difference.

Not even. Maybe against Oregon if fans choose not to travel, which they will. Def not against any of the other 5 teams involved. Even Baylor has double the alumni base of TCU.

Doesn't matter where OSU or Bama are playing, they'll have plenty of fans there

Home field advantage? TCU would've been playing a road game against any of them 30 miles from campus.

Not that it would've mattered, but still.

I think dude doesn't realize how small a school TCU is compared to the rest of the Power 5

 

[witnesskb24]

Yeah I'm not sure on numbers but from the sounds of it OSU had more fans at the sugar bowl and that wasn't even the title game, they'd definitely travel to Texas for a game like that. Same with all other fan bases that were in

 

[usabasketball08]

Thought the trolling was obvious, but they do a good job of getting fans to come out for home games

TCU has something like 8,500 undergrads. Oregon has 20,000+, Baylor has 16,000+, Bama has 36,000+, FSU has 40,700 undergrads.

TCU could be playing the national championship at home, and half the stadium would be opposing fans of one of those teams.

I was at the Cotton Bowl game and it was priceless seeing thousands of Baylor fans go silent when State scored that last TD.

I would have loved to been there for that

Man, how times have changed. Just in the past few days:

- Southern, "SEC speed" regional power house Florida State loses its first game in over two calendar years by 20 to a Pac 12 team in a bowl.

- University of Miami has a full on mutiny, finishes below .500, and doesn't even know if it made a bowl game

- The Florida Gators are playing in a bowl, have no other games competing against their time slot, and still no one cares.

- Arguably the best team in the state, UCF gets taken down by a QB that got beaten out twice by Jeff Driskel. (TWICE!)

What has happened to football in the state of Florida?

 

[nako xl]

Which game is usually better? The Army AA game or the Under Armour one?

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

Whichever has more of your favorite schools commits in it, lol

But lately it has been the UA

Gunna raising the roof right now after that Kyle Phillips commit

Is Butch gonna be there to coach these kids though?

 

[jewbacca2]

The army game was always a huge deal, but I think the UA game is passing it pretty fast.

Espn & UA has done a lot to make a big deal

 

[anomolie]

just musing on expectations and what happens if he doesn't meet them in the next two years. Can't keep going 3-5 in conference with that incoming talent.

Good riddance

 

[rook]

TCU was the best team in the Country.
It's nobody's fault but their own that they didn't get a chance to prove it.

I like tcu this year alot but they aren't better than Oregon nor tOSU.

They would have beat either team in a game in Arlington though.

wont argue that at all. forgot that wouldve been a huge advantage
