UT couple next to me last night got mad at me for cheering too loud for good plays by TCU. My 4th grade daughter then decided to dance in front of them for very good play the rest of the night. They left in the 3rd quarter.

Should have explained they could have suffered in silence watching at home...

I do agree though! We kicked their asses no doubt, but twice we got nice penalties in our favor that I’m pretty sure never had a flag thrown. Either of them. That’s garbage.

Refs made up for it by screwing us when spotting the ball the entire first half. UT got the benefit of an extra yard (or even two!) multiple times. It was laughable how bad they were. (The refs, not Texas' offense - OK, they were both laughably bad.)

I was talking Friday night with a long time friend who is a Fort Worth resident and a fervent UT fan/alum. He said forget A&M, OU or anyone else, I want to win this game tomorrow more than any other. He is just sick of living among Frog Fans and the Horns being on this general downturn but especially vs TCU.

It’s good.

I can relate, opposite-wise. It was hard living in Austin and being a TCU fan. Now it's a lot better. A lot!

I didn’t see one bad spot.

Glad to see you raising ‘em right.

 

[Shadow Dweller]

Yeah, almost all of them called out the "gimmicky offense" guy for being an idiot

Horns have a favorite e pressing “there’s always next year!”

Just ran through a beautiful little schadenfreude session over there. What a lovely morning. They are really, really down on their offense.

Chastising a poster who suggested the Big 12 should have taken Tulane instead of TCU because they're a guaranteed win:

"Saying we should have added Tulane instead of TCU because TCU is hard is some cowardly [ Finebaum ]. TCU didn't get good because we let them into the Big 12. TCU got into the Big 12 because they were good."

 

[Bob]

TCU got into the Big 12 because there were no more Baylors.

It's football. Both calls were correct. If you don't want the flag, don't commit the penalty.

I don’t disagree, but we (TCU fans) would lose it if the roles were reversed.

Some would. Most wouldn't. Just because offensive holding goes uncalled 80% of the time doesn't make it 'garbage' when a legit hold is called the other 20% of the time.

I saw UT offense and special teams commit more than a dozen illegal holds last night, and they were never flagged for it. In fact, the Frogs drew 50% more yellow flags than the Horns did.

Different deal. My post was about reviewing plays that no flag was thrown on. Can’t say I can remember a review where there was no flag and then came back and penalized anyone for holding. Again. Maybe I just couldn’t see the flags.

Some UT fans live under the illusion that they are endowed with a certain sense of entitlement. lol

Nope. Just a rational fan who doesn’t mindlessly complain about literally everything.

I don’t disagree, but we (TCU fans) would lose it REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENED BECAUSE THAT’S WHAT WE DO

You missed the flag. The initial call was offensive pass interference because UT receivers were blocking downfield.. After consulting among themselves, the refs reversed the call because they said the ball was tipped at the line, therefore no pass interference.

The booth reviewed the play and found that the ball had not been tipped, and that the receiver had caught the ball about a yard beyond the LOS, so the pass interference call should stand.

Admittedly, the refs did a piss-poor job of explaining the call, the reversal, and the replay ruling to the crowd, so I don't blame you for being confused. Almost everyone was, but that's what happened. It was a legit reason to review a play, and the call was correct.
