We’ve watched TCU play on the road in many venues, and I agree with Top: every school has good and bad fans (including our own), and our experiences varied wildly based on luck of the draw seating.
I’ve watched several games in Austin and never once had a bad encounter with a Longhorn fan, but that’s just anecdotal. The biggest problem was climbing those seemingly endless ramps to get to our seats in the northeast corner of the upper deck.
On the other hand I went to College Station ONCE (as a freshman or sophomore in the 60s), and that convinced me to never go back. I had the same experience in Lubbock and Baton Rouge during my days as a student. I absolutely LOATHED Arkansas.
In more current trips I’ve found Utah fans to be pretty rough, but BYU folks were saints. Oddly enough, New Mexico fans were unusually abusive - especially since TCU throttled them thoroughly both times we were in Albuquerque.
By and large BU fans were harmless - and clueless. SMU fans were just sad, but they could be pretty obnoxious on those rare occasions when they beat the Frogs. However, I generally just ignore them.
OU was very similar to UT. Sooner fans didn’t take TCU seriously, so there was very little trash talk. There were lots of obvious t-shirt fans in Norman, and many of them were unknowledgeable about football.
One great story. We combined a vacation to Colorado Springs with an Air Force game the year that massive ice storm hit, and to this day - that's the second-coldest experience of my entire life (the coldest I've ever been involved guard duty in Korea).
My son and I were bundled up with several layers of clothing, so going to the bathroom was a hassle, but the men's room was jammed shoulder to shoulder with cadets trying to stay warm. It took a couple of minutes to work my way through the crowd to the urinal.
Suddenly, I heard the door crash open and a commanding voice screamed, "Do your business and get back out there to support your fellow cadets on the field, ASAP. I'll start handing out "Ds" in three...two...one..." Almost instantly, I was virtually alone!
I stood next to another Frog fan at the sink washing my hands a moment later, and he looked at me and said, "Well, he didn't have to say it twice, did he?"
I’ll save bowl games for another time.
Go Frogs!
