Daily Skiff: Frogs sell out Daniel-Meyer Coliseum for BYU game

By Ryne Sulier

The Horned Frogs basketball team (11-15, 1-9 MWC) is on a seven-game losing streak and have a conference game at 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Wyoming, but TCU's second-to-last home game at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum is already a sellout.

No, your eyes didn't fool you — the Frogs' home matchup against No. 7 BYU (25-2, 9-1 MWC) at 3:30 p.m. Feb. 19 is already a sellout. With a top 10 team and the nation's leading scorer, Jimmer Freddete, scoring 27.5 points per game, there is reason to pack the DMC, regardless of how the Frogs fare in their games between the Cowboys and the Colorado State Rams before the Feb. 19 matchup with the Cougars.

Because of the sellout, TCU students will not be admitted at the gates with their TCU IDs. Students may redeem tickets with their student IDs at 10 a.m. Monday at the TCU Athletics Ticket Office. Only one ticket will be provided per student. ...

Headline should read "Jimmer Freddete sells out Daniel-Meyer Coliseum for BYU game"

What more proof do we need. The hard part is done, we are in the best BB conference, one of 18 teams. We have gotten a freebe on BB thanks to our FB. An investment in BB from here is like playing with the houses money.

Best conference and fan support -- we should expect big things from BB as there is obviously pent up demand evidenced by the sellout. The BE will bring the same situation to us every time we are home. We need a coach to match as we must and will attract talent like the other BE schools.

My initial one was "BYU sells out Daniel-Meyer Coliseum" which would have been far more accurate.

Like said above, BYU sold out this game, not TCU....and you're going to see that if you go.

I understand TCU is installing a bunch of temporary bike racks for this game.

So what's the prediction? 5,000 BYU fans, 2,000 (and change) for TCU? Worse than that?

This might be one of the weirdest scenes ever for a home TCU athletic event. Did this kind of thing ever happen with UT, A&M, or Arkansas during the Southwest Conference days?

I'm going 6k to 1k. And there will be one large empty section of about 500 seats.

I know there are a lot of season ticket holders that don't come to the game, which is of course their right. If they aren't planning on coming to this game, it'd be nice if they could find someone to use the tickets or give them back to TCU and let them give them away.
