[QUOTE="Hell Sent Frog, post: 2731322, member: 73662"] This is not about enrollment. The majority of people who go to college are not football fans. This is about football fans, football fans who like college better than the pros or they like both. It's about eyeballs that watch football. There are more eyeballs in the Metroplex and this part of Texas than there are in Lubbock and the Panhandle, it's easy math. Texas Tech has never had any long term anything close to top 10 type success. You are comparing hypothetical success by Tech to real national success by TCU. Tech has a bigger enrollment in the middle of nowhere. TCU is the Power 5 home team of the 8 Million inhabitants of the Metroplex. College football fans come from all walks of life, especially the tv viewers. I live in the Metroplex and every cfb fan I speak with here loves watching the Horned Frogs Football games, especially the bigger games. Maybe the Showgirls help, but TCU Football is seen as sexy and the program is a national sports media darling. The Metroplex sports talk radio never even talk about Tech, never. Why did the Red Raiders play their Spring game in Frisco? [/QUOTE]
Verification
Which team did TCU defeat in the College Football Playoffs?
