We better not get screwed out of the Texas Bowl

[CountryFrog]

Tcu9397 I’m 93 and wife is 97 so we follow the frogs closely. We have a son who’s a freshman at UAB go blazers so yes I’m a blazer fan. I hear that it’s really not up to the conference but up to the Disney channel. For UAB on 12/18 there will maybe 500 UAB fans. I hate ESPN

You're 93 and your son is a freshman in college?

Damn, that is probably more expensive than the bowl ticket.

Let me provide more clarity. That’s what would get me there.

Two more TCU football nuggets about this weak bowl decision. Gary, so far, is 0-2 in the desert in bowl games. The last time TCU went to Houston and played a bowl, we had a sophomore quarterback who somewhat struggled through the season. TCU won that bowl game, Gary took the mike during the trophy presentation and somewhat apologized for that season to the fans that were there and ended it saying," We are getting back to Frog Ball next year" and then dropped mike and went back to work. That game was the spring board to the Fiesta and Rose bowls the following two seasons. Just saying for you superstitious coaches out there.

Go Frogs.

The Frogs played in the Poinsettia Bowl the year before the Fiesta.

I read it the same way but then realized he meant class of ‘93

Ha

I just feel like a simple “my team is playing at 7:00 PM on the 26th, I’d like to watch it” should do the trick

Do you guys have formal suppers each eve?

My in laws know now. In fact I’ve more or less converted them into TCU fans. They even bought season tickets last 4 years and make a 4 hour drive for each game.

Yea I'd just be telling my wife that I'm finding the closest sports bar at 7 on the 26th and that's that. She knew what she was getting into when she married me.

I don't tell her not to watch Survivor the 132 times per year that it comes on. So I get my 12-15 football games each year.

Ha

That makes more sense. Although I like the way we read it better.

I live exactly 4 miles from NRG Stadium and would have loved to had the Frogs in H-Town for Christmas. For whatever reason, they aren’t coming here.

It sucks for me, but it is what it is.

It’s certainly not a huge deal one way or the other for our football program though... some of y’all are making WAY TOO MUCH OF THIS

If you follow the bowl game threads over the years one thing stands out. Guys will wax eloquent about all the reasons we should go to bowl game X. What they leave out is that bowl game X happens to be in their home town.

More impressively his wife had a child at 79 years old.

More power to him.

Edit. Never mind. I also liked the idea of a 93 year old guy with an 18 year old son.

They’re Amish. No tv.

To wrap up this thread, it sounds like we did in fact get screwed out of the Texas Bowl.

Now that we settled that. Shut it down and lets go home.

Yes. Typically, we only see them twice a year so I handle it. They don’t live a couple hours away where we see them often.

Not Amish, but usually isn’t a TV with ESPN where we stay.

Baylol got the Texas bowl because the majority of the team is probably not allowed to leave the state.

Even more impressive that his wife gave birth at 79 years old.

The Cheez It Bowl feels like it should be on Nickelodeon.

Abraham and Sarah. Pics of Hagar or it didn't happen.
