Gameday Thread: TCU vs Cyclones (Game Moved to 1PM)

[Mean Purple]

This is a Great Look! Should attract a ton of recruits...
GO FROGS!
BEAT SOMEBODY!
Spit Blood ~~<~<and [Baylor asshoe]!!

It's the look that says "I fired the wrong coach"

 

[HF98]

I don’t mind losing but I hate watching bad football. This game was tough to watch. I hope they find a way to turn it around.

 

[Pharm Frog]

Our secondary in my opinion has played pretty well. The problem is our defensive line has no pass rush. Hard to cover when the QB has no fear of getting sacked.

Wallow has played as well as you can expect.

DTs are doing their job and taking up blockers with double teams.

Ultimately its up to the defensive ends to make plays and they aren't

DEs arent good right now but a very close weakness is the other LB position. Constantly out of position and lost. Now the starter there is hurt and he was the one getting picked on.

 

[More Frogs the Better]

Losing Bumpas hurt. Our current OC just isn't getting the job done. We have no Special Team's coach and haven't had one for 20 years. Who coaches DEs by the way?

Dan Sharp. The DE's have obviously played pretty well the last few years so I'm not going to say it's on him but something is amiss. Today was horrendous.

 

[Mean Purple]

I don’t think they’ve quit on him as much as he’s can’t motivate them. I don’t particularly think the coach across the field today is a better x and o guy then GP but his players sure as hell respond to his motivation.

True. Even a db rolled his eyes at Patterson today in the middle of his screaming.

 

[LVH]

I don’t know if they are trash, but they are definitely playing like they don’t know what they are doing, which I blame on coaching.

I think we need a real DL coach.

 

[4th. down]

Again. This is becoming too common. How can an average team not be ready to play? I don’t get it. I think the coaches have lost this team...again.

I have to admit, I lead the fool parade. I was touting in late August this could be GP's best defense in years. Disregard any future post I make, if I do, about TCU football.

 

[Mean Purple]

Gary is looking forward to Baylor.

Baylor is looking forward to him.

This...used to love watching GP football. It has become hard to watch on both sides of the ball. Not just this game. Gary can’t change. Cumbie just love Sewo, and both of them suck.

 

[netty2424]

Post game crew running out of stats to regurgitate. Seems like GP is slow to get to the media. Hope a Meach-like picture of GP in the stairwell doesn’t surface.

 

[Mean Purple]

Think how Meach must feel
He loved coaching at TCU. Did not take offers from some great places. Wanted to come back. And he probably just watched, shaking his head.

 

[Mean Purple]

Cant believe I missed first half of Auburn Florida

 

[Froggish]

GP has done so much for TCU football and the school in general that watching him get out coached and losing his composure on the sidelines is brutally hard to watch.

You can overstate the depths at which GP pulled us from and how much respect is owed to him for it. The issues really is how long respect should grant you performance passes...I don’t know...Maybe he should be able to coach forever if he wants. I really could live with that. What I can’t live with is nobody admitting that his best days are behind him and that we are program on the decent.

I hope he isn’t the last guy to realize it

 

[Mean Purple]

Patterson saying no excuse. cant be happy with defense giving g up 49. ISU only ran 60+ plays.
Staff and players and players have a lot to work on.

He could bring Meach back next year and turn it around. But he should not get to coach forever like this. This is not an FCS or Group 5 team. This is a program that is supposed to compete.

And yes, his sideline composure is getting to be just bad. No way Sonny stays for that, or he has his headset up and just ignores him.

 

[frogs9497]

I find it extremely annoying to see BU just a couple of years removed from a 1-win season on their way now to being 5-0. Meanwhile, we should have been building momentum for this program and making meaningful progress each year. Has anyone found the chip yet?

 

[Moose Stuff]

Sometimes [ Finebaum ] just gets stale. I watched it happen to Wayne Graham at Rice. I don’t know if that’s happening to us but I’ve seen things this year (and to some extent last year) that I can’t recall in the previous 20.

I mean yeah, but where is Sonny gonna go?

Defense gave up 42, and one of those TDs were on a very short field after the kickoff fumble
