Plus, I think that so many people tailgate before games now.... You've got more people that have been there since at least 3:00 for a 6:15 game, and the prospect of not getting home until almost midnight after so many have already been there way before game time contributes as well.

I love it, but it definitely makes for a long day, that's for sure. Between the sun, the drinking, the walking and the sitting through a million TV timeouts, I am exhausted by the time I get home. It doesn't help that every time we play it's in the middle of an unseasonable heat wave that drives temps 10 degrees or more above normal. I can't wait for a 60 degree game, unfortunately there's only one more to go.

I'm 26 years old (Born in July 1991).
As of now TCU has a .500 record against the Longhorns in my lifetime (6-6). One more win, and TCU will have a winning record against the Horns for my lifetime. Pretty crazy considering we had a 1-5 record against them during my lifetime as recently as my Junior year of college.

Justify it anyway you want..... it's not a good look for TCU..... I really wish GP would call people out like Saban does but our fans are fragile enough.
It's things like this that should make you worry a little bit.

Doesn’t bother me at all that a few thousand fans left a game that was almost over and in which the outcome wasn’t in doubt. And at least 2/3 of those fans were UT fans from my vantage point .

So curious if you worry for Aggy when their stadium was half full at kick off or Tech or Miami? As you just said, it even happens at Bama.
UT had no hope of winning and the game was over - who cares if people starting leaving - you really think that is what GP and Kelsey talk about when discussing his career?
Maybe as #103 in the list
It's not just the end of the game - this is a scheissing embarrassment. It sucks to see people leave early. Creates a [ Finebaum ]ty atmosphere, doesn't matter if it is the last 7.5 minutes. At that point it was 17-7, the game would have been 17-14. It's stupid to leave before a game is over.
Picture below is taken at the start of the third quarter, yet another embarrassment

Maybe you should stop going to games. You don't seem happy with your experience. Seems like a waste of money.

GP does not need to give a rat's arse about this. He and his coaches need to put every ounce of their effort getting the Frogs ready to play. Like Saban, his coaches teaching attention to detail in playing the game the right way and developing these kids into better human beings trumps anything else.
Fans? He can send out a quick tweet saying to show up. That's all we really need him to do on that front.

Yes this is his third biggest concern. Give me a break. The crowds are bigger than ever. He would have left a long time ago if he cared so much.
This argument is tired and ridiculous. It's perpetuated by fans with personal agendas.

Do you guys watch other small private schools games like Stanford, Northwestern, Wake Forest, Duke, etc? Our game day atmosphere is about 100 x better than all of them. And what the hell are you embarrassed about? I've literally never heard a single person talk about any of this stuff except on this site. Do you guys think there are office conversations all over America analyzing still shots of the crowd at the TCU football game? Guess what, 99.99% of people spend an average of 0 seconds per week giving a [ Finebaum ] about any of this.

CGP has called out the fans before.

Crowds leaving with 10 mins left in the 4th after we go up 17 to a team that hasn’t gotten close to scoring in 2 quarter is not anywhere near GP’s top concerns in his career planning- I can promise you that
But feel free to act like that is what he is talking about over gumbo in the 19th Hole on Friday’s if it makes you feel better (or worse in this case I guess )

Watching game for 3rd time.
Every camera shot shows lots of fans.
