White Out for SMU Game?

[Virginia Frog]

We ought to make Oct 2 "Cockroach Day."

I don't know how folks could dress in that case but it very well may be the last time to let the 'Cowhorns' KNOW that TCU are no longer "cockroaches".

A solid, commanding W will do the trick.

Our company's intern showed me an email he received today from TCU indicating that Saturday is apparently supposed to be a white out game.

What a disaster this will be. Besides this email to students today, TCU has done zero formal announcement of this supposed whiteout through email or social media posts. IMO, a white out is something you make sure to do well or don't do at all. Considering this hasn't been communicated to season ticket holders at all yet, I think it's reasonable to assume this will be a very half assed attempt at a white out. Not to mention all the parents coming into town later this week that may not get the memo.

Always so negative about almost everything now. Give a rest. It is a college football game.

After a tasty meal at Dutch's, I plan to camp outside Amon G. and sell black jackets to TCU fans.

Honestly did we even back fill Drews role?

I mean it’s sad. The amount of activity around the stadium reminded me of SMU.

our stadium is way nicer and not even comparable but the current frog alley was a joke.

SMU's tailgating and pregame atmosphere in the Boulevard is lightyears ahead of anything we have. That's about where their advantage stops though.

Homophobic. IMO

Maniac beats the negative drum and he and I have had good debate but he is highlighting something legitimate here. Our gameday experience is really bad and there is nothing unique about it. Just when frog alley gets going we move it around. The last minute whiteout is very silly. You can’t color block unless you put items in the seats or at least put something out well in advance.

I get so frustrated with my friends who like to tailgate off campus but then again there is not really a good atmosphere on campus. TCU makes it borderline difficult to tailgate on campus. Have to go through tailgate guys, get reprimanded when your tent or tailgate touches a sidewalk. Then there is the time constraints on when you can set up and have to take down.

It was mentioned in another thread or on another board but why isn’t the university commons from frog fountain down to the stadium not filled with tents. Bring back Greek tailgates and throw them in there. Concerts, food trucks, whatever. Right now it is totally stale and TCU is out of touch with real college football. Lame ass color block and sandstorm on repeat at volume 3000 is exhausting. Rant over - let’s run the table.

think you raise some very good points and there is a very, very circular aspect to many of these threads when it comes down to game day experience, marketing campaigns to sell tickets, campaigns to get media attention, and even planning something like the white out

who is in charge of these things at tcu because at a distance at times compared to other programs it sure seems as if people showing up for games is viewed as a foregone thing and not that tcu athletics is something to be promoted and sold

Someone needs to have their ass fired.

excluding alumni, people with family connections, people who started as interns and worked their way up, and really, really good people right?

Very well said and I agree 100%. The good thing about CDC was he was very open to ideas and would listen to fans. Let’s see if this new guy does.

 

[Brog]

It's especially embarrassing we're attempting to do this after the country saw how cool it can be with a sold out crowd for the Penn State game. We're just going to look like a bunch of wanna bes.

Even if every TCU fan in attendance on Saturday actually wore white, all it would do was make our empty purple seats appear more noticeable as well as help the SMU fans stand out more easily.

Well, to be honest, I don't think the country is going to see how cool our white out turns out to be. What channel is it our game's going to be on?

 

[Dr. Coach Haus]

Great thread. Would read again.

Their Directv was out on Saturday. Hope they got it back.

 

[Pharm Frog]

They could probably outfit the stadium with the left over Beat SMU t-shirts they were giving out at the volleyball game. Yes…they were white

 

[jake102]

Moving Frog Alley and eliminating the beer area with the giant TV and grass kid zone is a disaster

 

[bmoney214]

Its a white out to attract more SMU fans. They'll think it means a cocaine party.

Liar. We all know black jackets don't exist.

It is a legitimate point

first and foremost, anyone who was raised with any sort of manners knows you can't wear all white after labor day

country club rules apply to the stadium as well you know

someone in hr screwed up and hired someone from a public university

 

[Frog45]

It TCU and SMU are both involved, it’s going to be a white out no matter the setting.
